Biography
Hello! I am Tanzila Tazah, the daughter of Tandy, the king of Ozamaland. But you can call me Tanzy. My father was kidnapped as a child and spirited away to Patrippany, where he was kept prisoner by the Leopard Men. He was found by Captain Salt the pirate. Captain Salt helped make Tandy healthy and strong again. The two of them went on a journey across the seas to Ozamaland, where Captain Salt helped Tandy regain his throne. Afterwards, Tandy appointed a regent and went to be with Captain Salt.

When Tandy grew up, he decided to quit the seafaring life and come home. He later got married, and then he and his wife had me. Being the only child and heir to the throne, I'm looking forward to a life of a sailor. I already spend much of my time at sea. I'm a great sailor, rower, and swimmer. I'm also good at exploring harsh climates like the desert and the jungle.

One thing I'm definitely good at is bonding with animals. Me and animals get along well. I am able to sense their feelings and communicate with them. Animals are easier to understand than people. People can be kinda weird sometimes, with their tendency towards hypocrisy and thinking that the world revolves around them. Animals, on the other hand, don't care what you look like, where you come from, or what you think. They're willing to be your friends and stay by your side.

I'm kind of a rebel. Unlike most Zamas, I'm not too crazy about the color white. It's such a boring color, lacking in hue. Instead, I prefer to wear pink. I also don't think I want to be held prisoner by the Leopard Men. As it turns out, some of them have survived - the survivors relocated to a faraway island and come back to Patrippany whenever the next Tandy arrives there. I think I'd rather escape on my own and take charge of my own being. At school I'm a Rebel with a capital R.

I'm very close with Orville Amarillo, a prince from Oz. He's a kind young man, and he's always very cheerful. He tends to keep a positive face. The two of us spend a lot of time together, and he always loves it when I tell him about Ozamaland and what life is like there. He says that he'd love to visit the jungles and deserts and sail the seven seas. I hope the two of us will eventually be able to journey together!
