HISTORY
Zaji owns Zaji's Books & Treasures, a bookstore/apothecary located in the Bronzeville area of Chicago , Illinois. The bookstore/apothecary is full of ancient books and spiritual objects, as well as jars containing the essences of various mystical entities. Zaji uses these objects sparingly, as they are of great power. She mostly acts as a guardian of them. Zaji is thought to be the reincarnation of her mother, who in turn was the reincarnation of her mother Marie Laveau II.

DEMEANOR

She can propel powerful bolts of this energy with the concussive force of a RPG.
