“	I know the Tail needs you. I love you too.	”
	— Zarah to Layton in Access Is Power.

Zainab Ferami is one of the main characters on TNT's Snowpiercer. She is portrayed by Sheila Vand. The only middle eastern on the train.

History[edit | edit source]

Background[edit | edit source]

Zarah and Andre Layton were a couple by the time that the tragedy struck. She wanted to join the family in order to face the situation together and almost certainly die in a short time, but Andre convinced her to attempt to board Snowpiercer by force instead, which they did. She came to resent that decision, having trouble adjusting to the rigors of life as a Tailie.^[1]

Throughout The Series[edit | edit source]

Helping the revolution[edit | edit source]

Zarah first makes contact with Layton after numerous years when her partner, Sean Wise, is murdered. Zarah tells Layton that she didn't know what else to do, and Layton accepts this but remarks that the two are very different people. Zarah promises to cooperate fully with Layton's investigation, but remains a regular in the nightcar.^[2]

Zarah helps the revolution again when she harbours Layton whilst he is on the run from Melanie Cavill. Layton is furious with her, but she agrees not to tell Melanie where Layton is.^[3] She is later forced to change her decision, when she is confronted by Melanie about Layton's escape, threatening to kill her unborn child. She then outs Josie in the Tail and gets her arrested. Zarah was not present during Josie's interrogation.^[4] In Old Ways, Old Wars, she is seen talking to Andre about her and his unborn child.

Worries with Josie[edit | edit source]

Inadvertently whilst making a delivery to medical, Zarah encounters a badly frostbitten body in recovery. She immediately recognises the woman as Josie Wellstead, but is surprised to find that she is the "Jane Doe" of the train. Zarah becomes worried that this could have an effect on the relationship she has with Layton, particularly given she is pregnant with his child.

In an effort to protect her relationship, Zarah injects a solution into Josie's IV in an effort to kill her, but panics shortly after and removes the line, saving Josie's life. She eventually tells Layton that Josie is alive and in recovery, despite the issues this could cause for her.^[5]

Personality[edit | edit source]

Relationships[edit | edit source]

Andre Layton[edit | edit source]

Andre is the ex-husband of Zarah. Both separated two years after the train departed. In Prepare to Brace, the two have sex in the Meditation room. In Access Is Power, she gives Andre his wedding ring that she kept all of these years to trade to Terrance and the two share a kiss in the same episode.^[6] It is revealed in The Train Demanded Blood that the father of Zarah's child is Andre.
