Zora rarely lack loyalty toward their people, seeing themselves as equal to each other. This certainty might manifest as being reserved to other races and seeing them as stubborn, and hard to work with. This un-willingly to work with other can sometimes blind a Zora to risk, and their plans often get them and others into trouble. Too much failure can chip away at even a Zora's sense of self, so they constantly working to improve themself and their home.
