Zarana is a master of disguise just as much as her elder brother Zartan is. Whereas her brother uses holographics and depends on physical aspects of the art of disguise, she prefers to use makeup and method acting to deceive her targets. As a method actor, she deliberately assumes herself in the role of her disguise. She goes to the length of thinking, feeling and reacting as the object of her disguise does. In fact, she was so good at it that she could have been a successful stage actress. Her weaknesses, though, far outweigh her skills. As good as she can act, it doesn't take long before her natural tendencies start to rise out. She is smart and ambitious but short-tempered, cruel and greedy.

During this series she was a mistress of disguise, like her brother Zartan; but she did it for the Dreadnoks. For reference, in 'G.I.Joe the Movie' she posed as Heather, assuming to be Lt. Falcon's girlfriend. But when she went for a dip in the lake, she revealed her true body shape. And when she removed her wig, her gang came out of the woods and she gave them the photos.
[edit] DiC animated series
During the Operation Dragonfire miniseries, Zarana is dating Destro, but is dumped (via trap door) by Destro when Baroness and Cobra Commander regain control of Cobra.

Appearance: red hair; pink halter-top shirt with red holster; red and black gloves; blue ripped jeans with pink underneath; red belt and holster; black boots with red kneepads Accessories: red backpack (with sculpted flashlight); black saw rifle with petal-shaped blades.
