Past
She was one of many children that were gathered together as research subjects for a Soviet laboratory, that investigated extra-sensory perception. She nearly died several times due to the experiments they were subjected to and all the drugs they were given, in hopes of increasing their skills. One day, during an experiment that involved an I.V., she realized that there was nature spirit present within the drip. This spirit was Vodyanoy, and they both managed to escape by conducting a hyoi-gattai. wandering aimlessly, she would have died of cold if she hadn't followed some nature spirits, that were hiding underground, to safety.

Shaman fight Second Round
She found out about the team stipulation of the second round and joined with Pino Graham and Tona Papik Cadimahide to form The Icemen team. Her team was paired up against Yoh, Ryu, and Faust of the Funbari Onsen team. She and her teammates had a little fun with team "The REN" before the match showing off their respective powers. Just before the match on the battlefield, Yoh showed team Icemen his new Double medium "the Spirit of Sword". The Icemen were frightened by this show but wanted to fight. They first concentrated their attacks on Faust and was beaten back by Faust's new gigantic oversoul. They next tried with Ryu and was also beaten back by Ryu's massive oversoul. They finally attacked Yoh but the attacks were completely worthless. Yoh then wanted them to attack at full force which the Icemen happily obliged. The Icemen launched a final attack but were finally beaten by the Spirit of Sword and were knocked out of the tournament.

After Defeat
Zria was seen in street clothes after the fight with Yoh and gang. She has lightened up considerably since her team's defeat.
