Background[]

Zuala was not originally a member of the Dolorav, arriving when both she and Yasha were in their teens. She and Yasha trained together learning combat skills, and became very close friends.[5] They were both chosen for "The Marking", a testing ritual marking their acceptance as warriors of the tribe,[6] and as such, were bound to follow the strict rules of the tribe wherein each member was assigned a mate by the Skyspear.

However, Zuala and Yasha fell in love and married in secret.[7] When the Skyspear assigned a mate for Zuala, she refused and confronted the Skyspear, who executed her.[8][9] Yasha escaped their tribe during Zuala's execution, and thus did not witness her death.[10]

Zuala was buried in an unmarked grave on the southern banks of the Seepfeed River, which much later, Beauregard helped Yasha find.[11]
