Zarana
.
Zarana is the sister of Zartan in the fictional G. I. Joe universe, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. She has red hair and is usually depicted with a tattered hot pink T-shirt and blue pants. Zarana is a master of diguise who can fool even the best military specialists. Unlike Zartan, who has a mysterious ability to appear as someone different, Zarana relies on masks, wigs, makeup and costumes. Zarana is a caucasian female from Australia. Her file card bio states that she has the same ability to change skin color as her brothers but this was never seen or portrayed in both comic and cartoon incarnations. She is often seen as second in command of the Dreadnoks. Zarana is a fearless fighter and risk taker. She took on a lot of responsibilities for COBRA after Destro, Zartan and the Baroness left.
Zarana was issued in a second wave of Dreadnok action figures from Hasbro. She carried a weapon that looked like a rifle with a circular saw blade attached at the end. This weapon was never seen in the cartoon or comic book. Like Zartan and Zandar, Zarana was made of a thermal reactive plastic that turned from caucasian color to dark blue in a small amount of heat such as direct sunlight. This was never shown in the comic book. In the cartoon, she was primarily a background character. She had several features in the comic, primarily in issues that introduced Dreadnok vehicles produced by Hasbro.
