Zifa can't glide while carrying heavy objects, heavy weapons, or shields (though she can drop any held items as part of her reaction).

Description
Zephyr & Co.’s reputation as the preeminent store in the Wood's due to the stewardship of its star manager, Zifa Freewind. An enterprising & enchanting young sera luma, Zifa has been entrusted w/ all major decisions in the store as well as smaller logistical concerns relating to staff & inventory. When she isn’t personally seeing to the needs of her most important clientele, Zifa can usually be found flitting about w/ a notepad, busily preparing for the next season’s arrivals.
Prior to being employed at Zephyr & Co., Zifa used to be a servant at Windsweft Manor, & before that she was an impoverished trunk dweller, though the latter's a well-kept secret. Zifa has worked her way up from nothing, & she flaunts her refined manners & excellent sense of style as a way of distancing herself as much as possible from her former life. She's keenly aware of the debt she owes to the Windswefts, & both her sense of personal pride & her desire to please her benefactors have led to her working tirelessly to improve Zephyr & Co. Zifa's also well paid for her efforts, & she wishes to save as much coin as possible to ensure she & her mother need never worry about returning to a life of poverty. Her financial success has even allowed her to support her aging mother w/ a comfortable home in the canopy. Zifa has run her store for 5 years now & has accrued a great deal of experience & a keen sense for business.
The events of Zifa’s past've left her w/ a sense of superiority, stemming from her success. Living in poverty taught her that not everyone in the world can succeed, & so she cut ties w/ everyone in her old life on the belief that they'd only hold her back. As someone who built herself up from nothing, she has no patience for people who don’t meet the standards she sets for herself & her clientele. Zifa makes people who appear unable to afford her wares feel unwelcome in her store, & she insists they return once they've made something of themselves. Although she takes pride in how far she’s come, she keeps her past as an urchin under wraps for fear of how it'd reflect on both her business & her employers. Zifa's adept at becoming the center of attention in any situation, & she's equally capable of displays of deference & humility when necessary.
