History

The wizards in Africa didn't enjoy the freedoms and the peace that wizards in the US or Europe enjoyed. They fell under colonial rule just as their muggle counterparts. And many were forced into slavery. Ajonni's family was owned by a muggle British family called the Riddles. The family worked for the Riddle's for years before the Revolutionary War started in Ghana with the muggles. The Riddles fled in fear leaving the house and all its contents to Tunde and his family. Tunde took on the name Riddle and turned his family from slaves to entrepreneurs. They got into wizard banking, real estate and commerce.

Her father is hailed as the greatest of the African Quidditch players. He was the celebrated seeker that lead Ghana to its first Quidditch Cup and the first and only win for an African nation. His family owned the oldest, and largest carpet company before he added the broom division after his retirement from Quidditch.

Her mother is the youngest twin in a family with 3 sets of twins. She was the first female Minister of Magic for an African nation. She brought Ghana fro the brink of civil war against muggles to a peaceful existence with muggles. Though now wizards have completely separated themselves from the muggle world.

Her parents were betrothed to each other to keep the bloodlines pure. Though they were in no way related to each other. Afia's family though not as rich as the Riddles were still wealthy and had influence through their potion company. The combining of the Riddle family and the Sesay family
skyrocketed both of the family fortunes into space.

Zaire is the fourth oldest child of 12. In a family with all girls. No boys.

She was always interested in writing and while in school she started the Daily News paper. She was the editor till she graduated. After graduating she took a job in a wizard restaurant where she finally fulfilled her love and passion for food. She worked there for two years when a critic for the Daily Prophet asked if she had written any cookbooks. It gave her an idea. She quit her job and started writing cookbooks. She was an overnight success. Her line "Charmed and Cooking" have sold all over the world and she is currently working on her seventh book.

Personality

Zaire isn't as flashy and loud as her other sisters. Nor is she the trouble maker that some of her younger sisters are. She preferred to keep her head down and stay out of trouble. If you glanced quickly at her and her sisters all together you might overlook her. But her reservations make her stand out more. You want to know, what is she hiding?

Once you get to know her she is a rather lively person full of passion and energy. Her smile is warm and genuine. And she is a bit sly, she has pulled a prank or two just to get back at her sister's for something they pulled on her. Though that's a side she likes to keep under wraps.

She likes to sit and write. As a child she often found herself sitting at her window seat looking out into the lush family gardens and just writing in her journal. She is slow to speak but when she does she knows what she is talking about. She is an avid reader.

She is sometimes a bit intimidated because of her height. But she tries to hide it.
