Chapter Text
- Her mother’s side of the family sells stuff (don’t ask or they might have to kill you) and her father is a reformed criminal (not that anyone knows that) who comes from an influential family of inventors and scientists (to which he is as well).
- Yes, her mother runs a gang.
- She’s the second youngest of her family—beat out by only Zevon.
- She has two older cousins on her mom’s side named ‘Zim’ and ‘Zam’ who are her mom’s right hands after her former one (Kronk) left for greener pastures.
- She also has one other cousin from her dad’s side named ‘Calista’ who lends her the chemicals required for her experiments and forgeries.
- Yzla also used to have an older brother named, Lil Yaz, but he died from the Spanish Flu not long after sending her Harriet Hook’s way (she was a friend of his that he met abroad) so that she could find her own path.
- She grew up in the city of Kuzcovia (where her mother grew up) before her family was forced to move after the “mysterious” death of her grandma, Azma. Which caused them to have to move to her father’s hometown of Enchancia.
- She was seven at the time and resided there until she moved shortly before her brother’s death when she was 18. After she arrived, Harriet pointed her to the Badun Detective Agency (which, at the time, only consisted of the Badun cousins) who were struggling to get a permit and certificate so that they could get it going.
- She may or may not have forged said documents for them after applying for a position in their company.
- She is the codebreaker of the agency and is handy with a knife.
- She has a pet cat named ‘Stardust’ and a crow named ‘Mayhem’.
- Before Yzla moved to Auradon City, she thought that she would never find a life companion because she had trouble finding a man who would love her for her and who didn’t immediately leave after discovering how bad at cooking and cleaning she was. But after moving and joining the Badun Detective Agency, she met Reza—Reza, who didn’t care that she couldn’t cook or clean. Reza, who was interested in her.
- The pair have been dating ever since.
- He also helps her with making her poisons without batting an eye or acting wary around her.
- In her free time, she does ballet and studies astrology when she isn’t helping Reza with his experiments.
- Yzla is twenty three years old currently and mentoring Chloe Charming, Red Hearts, and Edith ‘Edie’ Olympian—and how she ended up mentoring one of the richest people in town’s children, she has no clue.
- But she’s not complaining because she is used to pulling dumbasses (I.e Zevon and her two older cousins) out of whatever trouble they find themselves in.
- She is very good at playing innocent and because of this, no one suspects what kind of trouble she is capable of.
- She does have a body count but won’t specify how high or what kind it is—and she and Reza both like changing up the answer whenever anyone asks. They find the reactions amusing.
- Yzla wears mainly gold and opal jewelry as they are her favorite.
- Her younger brother, Zevon, is twenty two and is somehow involved with black widow, CJ Hook, and jazz musician (and con artist and possible cult leader) Freddie Facilier. Somehow, though, he almost always ends up being the only one needing to get bailed out after one of their schemes.
- Zim and Zam ALSO tend to get in trouble that they need to be bailed out of while their friends (Hunter and Ivy de Vil as well as James Brown Jr, Gordon Dwarf-Fae, and Eliza Fae) almost always end up escaping from said trouble. Much to her exasperation.
- She just wants some peace but knows she's not going to get it so she just rolls with it.
- She has a B.D.A Magnifying Glass tattoo on her left wrist that she got after she joined the B.D.A
- Oh and she has jagged, thin scars on her hands from when a bowl shattered in her hands when she was trying to brew moonshine in her mom's lab (her cousins lied about what was in it thinking she wouldn't actually try and brew it) back when she was seventeen.
- She has many skills including but not limited to Codebreaking, Potion Brewing, Safe Breaking, Forgery, Stealth, Weapon hiding, knife throwing, and tracking people down.
- She has been known as The Good Cop, Detective Yzla, and the Code Breaker, and she knows many languages. Peruvian Spanish, Greek, Romani, Scottish Gaelic, English, Ciazarn, Arabic, and Latin to be exact.
