She has straight brown hair that can’t hold a curl to save her life, and is often found in a simple braid or twisted into a bun. Her eyes are blue. She prefers muggle clothing over wizarding robes, although even then prefers her dresses to be simple over anything extravagant. Zinnia is right handed.
