Zera a fictional character in the Image Comics, Spawn universe. Her ferociousness and battle prowess is feared not only by denizens of Hell, but by her own kind as well.
As a conflict erupts on Earth that may well be the final war between Heaven and Hell, it is revealed that God has abandoned creation. The forces of the Forgotten gather at the gates of paradise, and the angels know that soon the walls will be breached. One of the ruling seraphim sees no alternative and releases a long-forgotten warrior from imprisonment in the hope of turning the tide. A warrior of immense power, imprisoned by God Himself, she is known as Zera.
Zera is Queen of the Seraphim, one of the most powerful beings in all creation. Because she is utterly insane and has an endless bloodlust God chose to lock her away in the depths of the Shining City. In these desperate times, she has been set free to defend the throne of Heaven.
Free to enter the fray once more, she is seen single-handedly annihilating the armies of the Forgotten Ones. During battle, Zera's insanity and bloodlust manifest themselves in the form of an enromous, white-furred beastial humanoid (the creature Zera is shown with in the above picture). This avatar is capable of breathing white angelic fire and obeys Zera's every command.
After defeating The Forgotten, she looks to the last and mocks him. He claims that there is still one more of The Forgotten and while Zera shakes him to try to get the name she snaps his neck. He never finishes the word, "Ma..." which would give her the name she desires, that of Lord Mammon, the architect behind the siege on Heaven. Knowing that Hell could break through the gates of Heaven at any moment and that Heaven's forces have been seriously depleted and are no match for evil, Zera heads out to find God and return him to his throne.
Keyed into the essence of God, she tracks him down and find him in the earthly form of Jake Fitzgerald. At first, he doesn't remember who he is, but with Zera's revelation his memories return and the two depart for Heaven, and with his return The Rapture begins...
