Chichin Iza is the happy-go-lucky Mexican who makes food and can float.
That's really about it
Guess I'll tell her ancient history too.
ANCIENTHISTORYPLZ:
Chichin Iza [nicknamed Zen for her peaceable deposition] was born to the Diaz's in Northern Mexico. Her father was a young hothead with big dreams; her mother was a member of a long-standing gypsy clan with traditional values, and she had no wish to leave this life.
Zen is one of a set of twins -- her fraternal twin brother, Matteo [aka Teto] doesn't look anything like her, but neither can change the fact that they have the same birthday.
Anyway. The parents find it isn't working out. Well duh. After fighting for a long time, they finally make the painful decision to separate the twins. Teto goes with the father, Zen stays with her mother. The dudes leave for the US, and eventually set up housing in Chicago. Despite his big dreams, the father ends up with a crappy job. Teto grows up like any boy would when he has no females to guide him -- he screws around all the time, and serious is a word that might as well have been nonexistent.
Yeah. Zen finds herself a teenager surrounded by boring mountains, plodding oxen, and traditional values -- she's sick of it. She finds she has inherited Culliaformae, a brand of magic that allows users to levitate, and change their body type and hair style at will. She becomes rebellious, especially when she learns her oppressing straight-spined mother plans to have her in an arranged marriage, that would set an alliance rather than a relationship.
Zen's thoughts at the time, most likely: 'WTF You have GOT to be kidding me. No way I'm going for this.'
Well she almost does. Well, actually, she did. Zen is at her marriage, about to be bound to a pig by the name of Marcelo Cortez that she wants nothing to do with. She resolves to flee -- only after the 'I do,' is she able to, though; Zen flies away a married teen. She leaves her shocked clan behind, and makes it to Chicago.
To her dismay, she learns their that her father had been arrested and euthanised. Her brother is bumming it out in a flat, and after a reunion that went something like:
Zen: HAI.
Teto: Yeah, hi.
Zen: . . . . haven't seen you in a while.
Teto. Nope.
Zen: . . . . ._. you have no life.
Teto: Wanna get some cheeseburgers?
--they get a surprise visit from their cousin [mother's sister's daughter] Moon [who they call Luna] who has big plans to ruin the human's fun.
Guess that's it. Zen continues to earn cash by making 'exotic' foods -- this is a weird in-the-future timeframe, here, everyone had forgotten about tacos and enchiladas and such--and on one occasion, as a waitress [NEVER AGAIN, might I add]
When it's all said and done. Zen lives in Akago, in Chira, and continues to advocate world peace #^ _ ^#
