He has eyes just like his father
They are blue when skies are grey
And just like him, he never stops
Never takes the day for granted
Works for everything that's handed to him
Never once complains ~The Gambler~ Fun. (With slight alterations)

Overall personality:
To say that Zaie is the polar opposite of his brother wouldn't be much of a stretch. Where Zane is outgoing and exciting, Zaie is more withdrawn and quiet. He is considered by most as the "nicer twin", being the more sensitive of the two. He's had his heart broken before so he's very guarded when it comes to any romantic feelings. Upon first meeting he can come off as shy and, though he doesn't quite understand it, a little mysterious.
He doesn't know many people aside from the other Fey in the Seelie Court, but he does have a few acquaintances in Alicante. These are mostly past clients and he is always polite towards them. It's not that he dislikes Nephlim per-se, but like most Clave supporters, he knows of the Circles vendetta against Downworlders and because of this, is wary of them. The only reason he declared his support for the Clave was to protect others, and be protected, from the threat of the Circle.
When it comes to his brother, Zaie is very, very protective. Although they often don't see eye to eye, he still loves Zane and will do his best to keep his "big brother" out of harms way. He doesn't quite understand Zane's obsession with unattainable girls and often ends up doing a lot of emotional damage control to prevent a hoard of angry girls from amassing outside their home.
Overall history:
Zaie was born to Johnny and Maria Michaels in the place all Fey called home, the Seelie Court. He had one older twin brother by two minutes by the name of Zane, of whom he was very fond. They grew up together in the Court with their mother and father until the day came when Zane decided he needed to leave to live on his own in Alicante. Zaie was saddened at his brother's departure but he decided to stay and live in the Court. He was taken in as an apprentice by one of the best metalworkers in the Court, Cairon Miotal, and picked up the trade quickly. In his spare time he did little doodles on paper, simple patterns that he then transferred to scrap pieces of the metals they worked with. When he showed them to Cairon, the older Fey told him him he had the makings of a reputable engraver, a delicate and artistic craft. His mentor had a daughter, Illiana, with whom he spent much time.
Their relationship blossomed from friendship to love over the course of a year, all of it hidden from Illiana's father. He spent hours working in the bellows, creating a ring of pure faerie gold and engraving it with the single word "Forever". However, when he finally proposed, she declined, telling him that her father had already betrothed her to the high-standing son of a Court official, with whom she was deeply in love with. Dejected, he poured himself back into his work, never speaking with her again outside of the furnaces. When the opportunity came for him to train as a knight in the Queen's personal guard, his parents urged him to accept the offer, but he had had enough of the Seelie Court by then. He decided to move to Alicante and set up an engraving shop and left within a fortnight. He moved in with his brother and bought a small storefront with the money he'd saved while working under Cairon. He'd always been one to stick to the rules, so when Valentine created the Circle, and found his brother was sympathetic to their cause, he made it known that he would side with the Clave.

RP sample:
Zaie rubbed the back of his neck, exhausted from the late nights he'd been working. The mortgage on the house was bearable, but only because of Zane and his combined salaries. And the fact that their banker had a soft spot for Fey. He turned the key in the lock and pushed, entering the dimly lit house. He could hear Zane practicing in the upstairs room, a familiar and comforting sound. He dumped his bag on the couch and followed after it, his face landing in the dark blue cushion. He flipped over onto his back and ran a hand through his dark hair, staring at the ceiling. It had been six months since he'd left the Seelie Court and his business had been fairly steady. His clients were mostly Shadowhunters who wanted their family emblem engraved on a weapon or heirloom, but there were the occasional Downworlders that broke up the monotony.
He sat up and pulled out his sketchbook, squinting in the dark to see the intricate pattern he'd been working on. It was a mass of swirls and flowering lines, something that he'd started after his rejection by Illiana. He figured it's completion would mark the end of his feelings for her, but it still felt off somehow. He rubbed his eyes and something in the back of his mind brought forth a picture he though he'd long forgotten. It was him, and her, Illiana, they were sitting by the stream that ran about a half mile from the furnaces. He picked a flower from the bank and handed it to her and she picked one of her own, handing it to him. It was a rose bud. His eyes snapped open and his hand flurried on the paper, moving faster than his mind could keep up with. When he was done, the pattern was changed, the simple floral patterns more intricate and with more depth. He sighed, feeling like the weight of a pound of lead had been lifted from his shoulders and he could move again.
