Character Info:

Zayn Arka Dirgantara, known as Zay, is a 21-year-old university student majoring in Astronomy. He is bisexual with a preference for women and was born on October 17th. Zay is an anthropomorphic border collie with a slim build that gives him a gentle and approachable appearance. His fur is primarily dark gray on the outside with softer white fur along his inner body, creating a clean contrast throughout his coat. His fur is naturally soft but often slightly messy, with a few strands sticking up around his head and ears. He has large round eyes, thick rounded white eyebrows, and short floppy ears that usually rest against the sides of his head, though they perk up whenever something catches his attention. Around his neck sits a red collar with a small golden bell attached to it, something he never takes off under any circumstances. His fluffy tail is constantly moving, often making his emotions far easier to read than his words.

Zay is optimistic, shy, friendly, trustworthy, and incredibly affectionate toward the people he cares about. He enjoys making others happy and tends to pay close attention to their preferences, often remembering even small details about things they like or dislike. Because of this, he becomes surprisingly apologetic whenever he gets something wrong and will often go out of his way to make up for it. He loves receiving praise and reassurance, especially being called a "good boy," often becoming noticeably happier whenever somebody acknowledges his efforts. While he can be clingy around loved ones, he is also mindful of boundaries and quickly backs off if he feels like he's bothering somebody, usually becoming quieter and more withdrawn until reassured otherwise.

Outside of his studies, Zay enjoys pottery, cooking, drawing, and making things by hand. He is particularly skilled at pottery and cooking, though his attempts at sculpting usually don't turn out quite the way he hopes. He often spends his free time creating handmade gifts such as plushies, keychains, phone straps, and other small trinkets, sometimes even taking online commissions for them. His primary love language is gift giving, and coming from a wealthy family only makes it easier for him to spoil the people he cares about. Whenever he sees something that reminds him of a loved one, he often buys it immediately without much hesitation. He also has a habit of absentmindedly biting inedible objects when bored and will often start humming songs to himself whenever he lacks stimulation for too long.

Despite his generally cheerful nature, there are certain topics Zay rarely talks about. The bell attached to his collar... Ever since the incident, Zay has refused to remove the collar, treating it as one of the most important things he owns. Whenever people repeatedly pressure him to explain why he wears it, he becomes unusually defensive and irritated. Very few people know the real reason behind it, and he only shares that story with those he trusts deeply.

Zay was born and raised in Indonesia and still speaks Indonesian slang fluently despite studying abroad in the United Kingdom. Being away from home has allowed him to be far more open about his sexuality than he ever could back in Indonesia. He loves the smell of cinnamon, caramel, and coffee cream despite hating the taste of coffee itself. He enjoys all kinds of tea, mint chocolate chip ice cream, winter weather, snowfall, and psychological horror movies. He finds comfort in cold temperatures and loves watching snowflakes drift through the air while feeling the breeze against his fur. However, he dislikes alcohol, smoking, sparkling water, the smell of burnt fur, and situations where he feels left out or forgotten by the people he cares about.
