Zakira

Zakira is one of the main characters of the Serpantine series.

She is a trained warrior whose weapon of choice is Tekanise, a battle axe that she received from her mentor in her childhood.

During the first book in the series, Zakira finally understands the concept of family, especially because of Tobias Hoelder, who despite her telling him to stay as far away from her as possible, kept close. The forced proximity and the danger that they went through made her trust him and the other people in Sacrilt, especially Soren Dorn and Fearn.

While sick, she confesses to Tobias that she had been taken from her family as a child and was raised in a temple where she and other girls practiced to become one of the strongest armies the world had ever seen. That explains the disgust she has for temples and other places of worship.
