Actually I forgot to ask… What are those blessings you guys were talking about just recently?
Adanko: Clement and I spend most of the year away from our people’s temples, so we go get a blessing whenever we come back
Clement: the purpose of the blessing is to reconnect us to the forest, but it's honestly more like a "welcome back" thing. Let's go in
Zawadi: I was wondering when Adanko and Clement would show up.. but I’ll have to apologize, Ravitu. I’m afraid Kitanfu has already left for the Divine Tree

So Zawadi is a product of me exploring my African roots, plus it's cool to think what it would be like to have had a black person living inside the walls. She was born in the underground and her mother was friends with Levi's mother, Zawadi had to dress as a boy to help keep interest off her, she was considered rare due to her being the only known living black person, even though she is mixed. When her mom died she was sent to live with Levi, after Levi's mom died she and Levi were taken in by Kenny but Zawadi was taken one day as a prize for a noble man. She was soon recognized for her medical talent though and was sent to study under Grisha Yeager, ending up with he living with him and helping deliver Eren before she was recruited for the Survey Corps. Where she trained as a soldier but worked as a field medic working her way up until she became head medic, she reunites with Levi in the Survey Corps when Erwin brings him, Isabel, and Farlin in, and helps Levi through losing them. The rest is history.
