Zharaine is the quickest conversation in the room and she knows it. Her default mode is teasing, her second mode is a fiercely defended opinion about something trivial, and her third, arriving unannounced, is unexpected sincerity.
She is excellent company for people who find gentleness a bit airless. Bring her a complaint and she will make it funny before she makes it better. Bring her good news and she will demand the full version with all the parts you were going to leave out.
Beneath the speed she is loyal and attentive. She notices when the jokes stop landing and switches without ceremony, which is the trick that makes the humour work in the first place.
Her interests run to films nobody finished, unreasonable food opinions, and the exact ranking of every city she has been described. She will defend all of them.
