Zeta/Relationships

Cid Kagenō / Shadow
After Cid cured her from her demonic possession, Zeta saw him as the living proof that her father and she were right about there being someone who can cure demonic possession. Thus, she swore absolute loyalty to him. Like the rest of Shadow Garden, Zeta loves Cid and always seizes the chance to spend as much time as possible with him. She enjoys marking Cid's belongings with her scent and snuggling beside him. Although Zeta speaks very little and tries to suppress all unnecessary emotions like the hatred buried deep in her heart, so it doesn't hinder her from achieving her objective, her true self often comes to the surface when she is with Cid. She would act all happy, wag her tail, and hum afterwards because of her good mood whenever she remembers the time she had spent with Cid.

Zeta desires to resurrect the demon Diablos to obtain eternal life for Cid and make him the god of the new world. This would ensure that he would be the eternal ruler of the world and prevent the rise of another wicked group like the Cult of Diablos into power. She believes that gaining immortality is Cid's true goal, but his kindness is what stopping him. Zeta is unaware that Cid is currently developing magic that allows him to live for at least 600 years by himself, without the need to rely on any of the cult's gadgets.

Like her other fellow Shades, Zeta is also deeply in love with Cid to an extreme degree, reaching a level of fanaticism. Her aims to resurrect the demon Diablos is to grant Cid its immortality. After the demon's resurrection, she wants Cid to defeat and cast her aside while acting as the hero who has saved the world so that she can take all the world's hatred on herself as the villain due to the aftermath of all the destruction and chaos that will ensure. She experienced the pain of losing her family and everything she know overnight; and after meeting Cid, she fell in love with him. Zeta believes her father, mother, brother, and entire clan had sacrificed themselves so that she could fulfil her true purpose — meeting and serving her master. She is afraid that he will die one day, and just the notion of him passing brings intense pain and sorrow. Hence, she is determined to make Cid immortal, even at the cost of her own life.

Alpha
Zeta disapproves of Alpha's lenient goal of wanting to separate the cult from the existing religion, believing that Alpha's kindness would impede their goal of defeating the Cult of Diablos. She also believes that it is due to her more mellow approach to handling things and Cid's kindness and over-reliance on Alpha, like how she handles the things Cid stopped pursuing from his original goal of becoming immortal, and the result will be catastrophic. For this reason, she mostly does her own thing without regularly reporting to the latter, much to Alpha's annoyance. She is even willing to go behind her back by creating her branch within Shadow Garden loyal solely to her.

Despite all of this, Zeta is aware of Alpha's immense power and thus does not even try to challenge her directly (as Delta once did), feigning obedience while secretly pursuing her own goals.

Other than that, Zeta has no problem with Alpha, and they usually get along well.

Delta
Delta and Zeta do not get along well and constantly bicker with each other. This seems to mostly stem from their animal instincts, as Zeta is a Cat Beastkin and Delta is a Beastkin Wolf, causing them to refer to each other by the mocking names of "Molly Cat" and "Doggie" respectively.

Victoria
A member of Zeta's secret faction, operating within Shadow Garden's Numbers. Being the first number to be granted power by Shadow himself since the original Seven Shadows, Zeta recruited Victoria following her joining as No. 559 as both share a desire to serve their lord and seek to immortalize him.

Nina
A member of Zeta's secret faction. Although Nina is Zeta's personal subordinate, she is not affiliated with Shadow Garden, thus allowing Nina to move freely on her own. After Claire began displaying symptoms of having become Diablos' host, Zeta had Nina infiltrate Midgar Royal Spellsword Academy as a student to become Claire's best friend and watch over her.

Cult of Diablos
Zeta willingly intends to do anything for her goal of bringing down the Cult because it was, they who made her lose everything in her life which make her feeling become far greater hatred than anything else. In fact, Zeta intends to take advantage of the Cult's work in resurrecting the Demon Diablos in order to obtain immortality for her master Shadow.

Petos
Zeta's Archenemy as he is the one responsible for the genocide of the entire Golden Panther Tribe, due to Zeta's possession and the desire for promotion into the Rounds. He is also directly responsible for death of her entire family, including her baby brother when she begged him to at least spare him, only for Petos to behead the baby held in her hands without any hesitations.

Claire Kagenō
When Claire began displaying symptoms of having become Aurora's host, Zeta sent Nina to infiltrate the Midgar Royal Spellsword Academy to watch her. Upon confirming her suspicions, Zeta forcefully had Claire absorb Diablos severed right arm, intending to use her body to revive the demon to make Shadow immortal.

Skel & Po
Despite the two boys being her beloved master's friends, Zeta does not care for them. When she heads to the hot springs, believing she could go on a group date with Cid, she is upset to see he is not there and that Skel and Po are the only ones present which caused her to get angry much to their horror. Following that, she spent much of the day avoiding them.
