Zukie’s interests revolve almost entirely around her younger sister; she puts the safety and well-being of Pepito before her own. Her infatuation with “little sis” certainly goes beyond the normal bounds of a sibling relationship, but the extent of this interest remains mostly speculation. Zukie is obsessed with cleanliness, often showering three times a day or more. She delights in harassing any woman she finds attractive.

After a life of petty crime on their native K’bab, Zukie and Pepito took to space piracy in the surrounding star systems. Several successful heists on marked Tri-Galactic vessels quickly brought them to the attention of the Intergalactic Authorities; before long, they were apprehended and incarcerated at Station X9, a maximum security penal colony orbited by an electromagnetic minefield. It remains unclear how they escaped the first, second, or third time.

Zukie has a marked distrust of the opposite sex, which she is not afraid to verbalize. She’s adept at the culinary arts, and can make a delicious meal out of just about anything, including people. Her abilities as a martial artist and masseuse are formidable, as almost anyone on the receiving end of her techniques will likely testify. Zukie should be considered armed and dangerous, being the third most wanted criminal in the entire galaxy. She is currently married to Ruby Maxim, a cyborg bounty hunter, after a botched attempt on her life. Zukie is in possession of an ancient Garritan artifact known as the Ribbon Heart, and has been hunted (along with her sister) by its rightful owners ever since it was stolen.
