Zuleika or Zuzu Sully is 17 years old and the oldest of her siblings. She is to be the next Oloeykte and rule along side her grandmother. Zuleika takes her job as the oldest very seriously and does everything in her power to protect them.
Disclaimer...
If you asked Neytiri who her favorite child was she's quick to respond with "I love all of my children equally". Which is true but she is especially close with one of her children.
Zuleika.
Zuleika is a spitting image of her mother. 4 fingers on each hand, big eyes, queue starting near the top of her skull instead of at the base like the rest of her siblings, and very long hair that flows down to her hips. She never wears her hair in braids, she likes the way it feels when it's loose. The only thing she inherited from her father was height and eyebrows. She is about 2 inches taller than her mother. Making her very close to her fathers height. Zuleika loves exploring and hunting whenever she isnt training. She doesn't have any friends except Tarsem. Which is who usually accompanies her on her adventures to make sure she is safe. The two have known each other since they were small and have been together through thick and thin. Throughout the friendship they have gained small crushes on each other but try to hide them.
Neytiri calls her "Hì'i Tiri". Which means "Small Tiri" even tho Zuleika is taller. The two are like best friends and are attached at the hip. Zuleika is protective, smart, scary, and a very skilled warrior much like her mother. At the age of 9 she tamed her ikran and soon after became Palulukan Makto.m at the age of 13. Zuleika's hunting and fighting skills are the best in the Omatikaya clan. Even better than her parents.
Zuleika and her father have a very rocky relationship. It has been like this since she was about 10. Jake has always been hard on her, always saying that she needs to be responsible and do better so she can set an example for her siblings. Because of this rift in their relationship Zuleika never calls him dad, only "Jake" or "Sir".
All of her siblings love her. They all confide in her whenever they are upset or happy about something. Neteyam doesn't open up to anyone but her. She understands the pressure that Jake puts on him because he does it to her as well. Thank eywa Neteyam's not the oldest because the pressure would be way worse. Zuleika is his role model and he wants to be just like her by the time he's her age.
Lo'ak loves her more than anything in the world. He feels like she is the only one that truly understands and sees him. Zuleika is always there to defend Lo'ak against anybody no matter what.
Kiri tells Zuleika everything. She tells her about how she can feel eywa and how she feels different. Zuzu consoles Kiri everytime she comes to her with problems. She's even had to beat up multiple people for picking on Kiri.
And Tuk sees ZuZu as a second mom. At night, Tuk forces Zuleika to sleep next to her until she falls asleep. They also play dress up, hide and seek, pin the tail on the palí, and she takes tuk on ikran rides.
Zuleika is always there to support and protect her family. It's her duty and she will fulfill it by any means necessary.
