Water and Waste Management Specialist / Scavenger — second generation, age 26
Zara is intensely pragmatic, viewed by some as cynical but by others as necessary. She is superb at reading the failure points in any complex system, mechanical or social.
Her family established itself specifically around the runoff zones beneath the seawall, making her intimately familiar with the bluff's hidden underbelly. She treats the entire community's refuse as a potential resource.
She knows where the overflow plumbing from the main hydro-processing manifold is weakest, giving her leverage over Silas.
