Zaina Madi-Shaw

Zaina Madi-Shaw is the mother of Isabela Madi-Shaw and wife of Bryson Shaw.

Description
Very little of Zaina's personality is seen in the game.

Zaina is first seen in the Prologue, though it is unclear how much of Zaina's personality seen here reflects her actual personality due to the nature of the Prologue. She is initially seen to be frustrated with Isabela's attitude during the video call while Bells is home alone. Zaina expresses her annoyance when Bells makes sarcastic remarks. Zaina appears rather good-humored despite the frustrations her daughter has caused, even joking about her "alien masters" in response to a comment from Bells. When static breaks up the call temporarily, Bells comments that "you guys are breaking up" in response to the call quality. Zaina misinterprets this line as the call resumes, joking about how Bells is "the lonely one".

Upon Bells' disappearance, Zaina is devastated as seen in the TV recordings. Zaina is desperate for her daughter to return home. She is firm in her belief about Bells and refuses to listen to the stories told at Central High, remaining adamant that her daughter did not commit suicide.

Zaina has tan skin, dark eyes, and dark hair tied back and kept to the side. In the video call in the Prologue, she is seen wearing dark lipstick, pearl earrings, and a white sleeveless dress that changes to an orange shirt and gold earrings.

In the interviews seen on the TV in The Hideout, Zaina is pictured wearing pearl earrings and a black lace short-sleeved top. In later recordings she is seen wearing a plain olive green dress followed by a beige coat and white pants in the last recording clip.

Early Life
Not much is known about Zaina's early life. At some point prior to the start of the game, she met Bryson Shaw and with him had a daughter, Isabela Madi-Shaw. She began working at a company located within Redacre, but the details about the company are unknown.

Prologue
In the Prologue, Zaina is seen on a video call with Bryson speaking with her daughter, Bells. She and Bryson appear in what looks like a restaurant where she chides Bells for her behavior, teasing Bells before ordering another drink. Bryson comments on how Bells' had nearly gotten Zaina fired after getting caught trespassing on company property. Static breaks up the call but it quickly resumes. Bells' parents appear to be at a casual dining establishment. Her and Bryson, misunderstanding Bells' comment on the call interruption, tease Bells for her loneliness but remarks how it will not be for long. Bryson informs Bells she is about to meet "someone as special as you are" followed by Zaina instructing Bells to "close your eyes, and you'll see" just before the call is dropped.

In-Game
Zaina can be seen in interview clips viewed on the TV in the Hideout, pleading for her daughter to return home.

In the CHORUS Inquest - Transcript Pt 2 journal, it is mentioned that Bells' mother has attained lucidity and she is now "one of us."

Her current location and status are unknown.
