Zonta Malatesta

"Don't call me Zonta, you'll get me in trouble. It's Medea."

- Zonta (Medea) Malatesta Zonta (Medea) Malatesta is a 2016-introduced and all-around character. She is the honest, tomboyish and over-estimated daughter of the inhuman neighbor in the story The Envious Neighbor or Hanasaka Jiisan. Zonta, who is forced to be known as Medea, only wishes to be accepted for her boyish and somewhat overly honest personality and Rebel positioning in the Royal-Rebel dispute.

What is Medea like?
Medea is averagely summed up as a nature loving freak. As much as she agrees with the nature loving part, she fully opposes with being known as a "freak". She is very confident in who she is and will contend otherwise if they were to say it to her personally. Her over whelming confidence does occasionally categorize her as egotistical. She enjoys playing sports and partying, but is respectful enough (or rude enough) to never tell a lie, even if requisite. But as the tomboy often quotes, she goes much deeper than the sum of her parts.

She often exhibits her reason for being a Rebel through her nature loving character, in fact she wouldn't be herself without the outdoors being a large part of her life. Walks through the woods are peaceful, but with her love of sports she does more biking and running. She cares deeply for animals and has more pets than her father desires, yet he is restrained from ridding the house of them. She handles animals delicately, treating each individual as if it were the last on Earth and she gets similar treatment from them.

Her gentleness with creatures is explanation for her well handling with arguments and situations. She has a great ability to see things from other's perspective, which makes her a good friend in some's view. Medea is also excellent at reading emotions and understanding things she hasn't gone through in her life. This is the logical reason she would have a nice group of friends if people were willing to discuss things with her instead of judging her by her looks and hobbies.

This makes her very adaptable to any circumstance she may discover. She can easily adjust herself to anything she may need to handle, which also makes her good at resolving conflicts. She doesn't often get frustrated with conversations and handles things quite well compared to most people.

The self-assurance she has often gets her mistaken for being exceedingly vain. When being recognized at this type of person, she will put up a fight to assure no one else gets this undesirable guess at who she is. Although for the most part she turns down fights, if you want to pick one with her and hit the right bone, for the record she does know how to fight. And she will, usually kick their asses and show them just how "conceited" she is.

She is very determined once she sets her mind to something, for she will not rest until the task has been completed and certain things have been accomplished to their high point. This determination will sometimes get in her way, but she cannot acknowledge when it does. For example, if something grand were to come up (family death, delivery of baby, ect.) she would put off her visit for these occasions until she had completed what she wanted/needed to.

Valiant is another great word for describing her, this trait simply comes from her self-confidence that she can do anything she wants to do and succeed at it. Her risk-taking side makes her into the kind of girl you may see jumping off the elastic of  a trampoline to land in a 4 foot deep swimming pool. Medea is easily known as the girl who will never back down from a tough/hard challenge.

As wild and crazy as she is, she is definitely not the type that lies. No matter what the situation may be, she says a lie is never the answer, which could be good. Or bad. Yeah, sometimes bad. Sadly, she is extremely truthful, even when it could damage their self-esteem which makes her look cruel, insulting, and rude. Medea will not apologize for hurting their feelings because she will clearly state, "Sometimes the truth hurts." Not surprisingly, her dad praises her for hurting someone's feelings. How lovely.

Upon mentioning that she declines to sincerely apologize for any truthful statements, she doesn't often say sorry at all. She has a confidence in her answers and actions and does believe most things she does or says are precise and well though out. As well as other traits, this makes her look impolite and savage, and adds on to the reason she is seen as egocentric.

As far as being ingenious goes, you must take into mind she cannot sit still for a long time without any excitement involved. She is kind of inane because she can not resist moving around and "accidentally" ignoring everything the teacher states. When she studies for exams and such she cannot keep still due to her obsession with movement and action. This problem does affect her brilliance, or should I say stupidity?

In general, Medea is a nature loving, exciting, and active tomboy who never has time to do "nothing". On the downside, she is rather empty-headed and comes off as egotistic fairly often. She always does her best and will never give up on anything. If you look deep into her soul although, you will just see a girl who is longing to be accepted by everyone in Ever After High, for the person she is and the person she always will be.

What does Medea look like?
Medea is one to not care for looks, she's more a wear what is comfortable kind of girl. She is certainly pretty, but compliments are unnecessary to her.

Her skin color is an even shade of tan all around. This tan seems to get only slightly lighter around her hands (palms to be specific.) Her face doesn't have a natural rosy look, and though she hardly ever blushes, if she did her cheeks would become a very light red.

Medea's hair is quite long, resting on her mid back, but because that gets in the way of sports she puts it up in a high ponytail that reaches her lower neck. The color of her hair can be perfectly described as dark brown. She also has bangs that are evenly brushed to opposite sides, but in some occasions (in the morning perhaps) her bangs are straight and cover nearly her whole forehead. When she is not wearing a helmet during sports, she may typically be seen wearing a fedora like hat that still reveals her bangs.

Her eyes are dark brown, nearly the exact same shade as her hair. She has actually, typical length eye lashes that do not draw any attention. When she's embarrassed, as mentioned above, her cheeks turn slightly rosy but she wears no make up at all. She's tall and skinny, 5'7 to be exact and weighs 114 pounds.

Medea has one scar that runs up her left leg, she got this when attempting to do a back flip with roller skates on. (This girl is an idiot) She was in the woods and when trying to do this back flip, we'll just leave it at her being by a thorn bush.
