PERSONALITY:
Zinhle is very secure in her sense of self. She knows who she is as a person, and is happy with who she has grown into as a human. However, this security is not synonymous with complacency; she is driven and very determined to continue pushing herself as a witch and human.

Above all, Zinhle always trusts in her gut, even if logic dictates something completely different. She is driven by her instincts, which often leads her to be impulsive. Zinhle has a strong moral code, and as such she tends to think she is always right. She can be rather stubborn and uncompromising. She has great deductive skills, and this innate sensibility, having proved itself time and time again, is what has led her to rely on her instincts so heavily.

When interacting with others, Zinhle is outspoken and unafraid of calling out any perceived injustices. She is friendly and warm, but if her gut tells her something is off about someone, even if she hasn't had time to get to know them, she will not waste her time pretending to be nice. 

For all that she can come off as as unyielding and feisty, Zinhle does have a soft side to her. This mostly presents when she is around nature, in the process of feeling connected to the earth and magic around her. She is used to being independant and put together, and whilst she doesn't mind this, the idea of being looked after occasionally so that she does not always have to be strong, is an attractive one. 

ASPIRATION:
Zinhle has always felt a deep connection with nature. She is at home outdoors, surrounded by plants. As such, naturally, she wants to work within this field, and will likely go on to further studies in herbology beyond Hogwarts.

She is quite the activist, so after her training is complete, she'd likely do environmental work, something that puts good into the world, possibly protecting endangered species/habitats or working to stop the exploitation/erosion of natural reserves and areas. 

Zinhle has essentially been set to get married off for wealth. Whilst she has accepted that this is her path, she isn't exactly happy about it. In an ideal world, there would be some non problematic way for her engagement to be broken, but realistically, she hopes to be able to find some form of happiness eventually after getting married, even if that means burying herself in her work. She will continue to operate based on what she thinks is right, following her instincts and gut, and balancing this unapologetic aspect of herself with the pureblood, socialite environments that she is in.
