Zara

Zara was one of the first electric children that was found by the Elgen. She played with Nichelle and Quentin as a child, but was later hidden away by Hatch when he realized how useful her powers were.

She finally shows up in the seventh book, when Hatch has once again recaptured the Electroclan. Hatch has Zara take the powers of each member of the Electroclan, and is surprised to discover that Taylor can read minds. Hatch uses Zara, who now has that ability, to read Cassy's mind and discover where Christmas Ranch is. Zara also discovers that Carl Vey, Michael's father, is still alive.

Zara was the second glow to be found by Hatch, after Nichelle who was the only glow that remembered her. In The Final Spark, Hatch used Zara to replicate Taylor's mind reading powers to get information about the Voice and Michael's dad, Carl Vey. Later, when Michael returns to save his friends, Hatch orders Zara to stop him. However, Michael fries Zara with his electricity, turning her into a pile of ashes.


 * Zara's existence was alluded to since the first book (with her being the seventeenth Glow), but she does not show up until towards the end of Book Seven.

Powers
Zara my not be the brightest, but she is certainly very powerful. On her own, with no power to manipulate she is weak and defenseless, but if she is by another Glow, she can duplicate their powers and use it full force. However, if she tried to take to much energy at one times, she could get severely hurt or die, as shown when she attempted to take Michael's powers upon Hatch's orders.

Trivia

 * Aggressive by nature, she is likely slain by Michael Vey near the end of the book.
 * Zara is included in the series for a short time, but proved to be a powerful adversary against the Electroclan.
