Cherazart/Infobox

Cherazart had a very rough life before coming to California. Loosing her parents at a very young age led her to live on the streets. From there, life got worse as she was kidnapped by gangs in the Austin, Texas area and sold as a sex slave for years. Her only escape during this time were her sketches and she fixated on her art in an effort to keep herself sane. Fortunately in her early 20s, she found the opportunity to escape that life and fled to California. There, her situation improved in ways she would never think possible. With Father Cross' and Clara's help, she got off the streets and managed to get her GED. In the process she discovered her real name was Diana Foster. During her darker years she created her own name, Cherazart Cono, inspired by Scheherazade in the 1001 Arabian Nights stories so she still goes by Cherazart or Chera, since her new name shows a deeper level of creativity. Even while she was on the streets and a victim of human trafficking, she would sometimes get away to discover some literature while trying to study art. Such studying had, and continues, to keep her sane. Even though she still suffers from nightmares due to her past, she found caring friends and managed to open the Images and Dreams Art Cafe where she diligently works daily. Her current life goal is to create art yet deep inside she cares for people and she only wants humanity to be safe, secure, and at peace. Additional goals may include earning a degree and teaching. After having a miscarriage in the past too, she yearns to have children at a future date.
