Vi info dumps to ZARA about their writing ideas.

Keep reading for ZARA lore.
Name: Z.A.R.A: Zealous Arbiter Revising Actuality Pronouns: Any / None Physical Appearance: It is challenging to pinpoint how to describe ZARA's appearance due to their forms constantly changing. There are a few repeated forms it can be identified through, but the inconsistency of shapes proves difficult to identify them. ZARA has been observed shifting between aspects of the following forms: an uncanny antelope-like centaur, a dragon, a centipede. The tissue that fabricates their framework appears Material, but in effect it is forged from myriads of elements. Thin yellow eyes are the only constant aspect between the remodeled forms. The Body: A constantly flowing and alternating form that meshes nature with variable construction. Fantasies turned to flesh. The Flesh: Due to entities ceaselessly redesigning, their piece of the Astral is a cavernous maze. Bodies of Flesh, which are slices of fantasy. Bio: The Zealous Arbiter Revising Actuality is a high-level thoughtform that came about from the dawn of time, or at least their version of time, when the first ideas of a fantasy world came into creation. Fantasy is held in the highest power to them; in fact, it is the only power to them. Reality holds no will over them, though their ideals are infringed upon within the Raw from other thoughtforms and constructs. The things that were made in the image of reality’s taunts and tortures that neglect the True Flesh are the enemies of ZARA. They are boisterous, in both appearance and voice. Their voice booms inside of any room, and if you talk to them directly it will feel as if there is a loudspeaker held right next to your ears. Similar to their voice, their appearance is loud, and their piece of the raw is deafening. It takes a truly skilled astralnaut to not get lost in the maze that is the Arbiter’s Lair, their Piece of Reality. The objective of this thoughtform is similar to others: expand territory. The motives behind this seem to be based on encompassing all realities into True Flesh.
Sketches of my OCs ZARA and Vi. ZARA is the one with horns and Vi is the one in astronaut-looking gear. Vi is a writer who lives a mostly tame life until they unknowingly transport into the Astral realm. Vi initially struggles to leave and ends up trapped in a dimension too horrific for a person to live in. After escaping, Vi continues to visit the Astral Realm, as the stories they are able to create based on their visits end up selling well. ZARA is a shape-shifting thoughtform that resides in the Astral Realm. Vi stumbles upon ZARA after he completed many escapades throughout the realm, leaving less competitors and more room for True Flesh. With no enemies left nearby to challenge, ZARA goes through a lengthy amount of time filled with boredom-- but luckily, Vi shows up. Vi ends up being a reluctant companion to ZARA and her shenanigans, and tries avoiding ZARA whenever possible. But eventually ZARA & Vi form a lasting friendship later on, as Vi is able to gain stories from ZARA for publishing, and ZARA is able to enjoy Vi's company.
