Biography
Early life
Isaiah Ateara was born in La Push, Washington, the son of Quil Ateara and Claire Young and has a younger sister Suzanne Ateara. Like his father, Isaiah grew up having his genes of the tribe’s legacy from their line of shape shifters. Sometime when the Cullens and Jacob Black left Forks and moved in to Minnesota, they stumble across a family who happens to be part of the Quiluete tribe from Forks, the Walkers. There, the Cullens and the Walkers made a treaty the same as back in Forks despite that the Walkers aren't prejudice against the Cullens. Jacob called Leah and Seth Clearwater, Quil and Embry Call about it and their families moved to Minnesota and a new pack was formed when the kids started to phase; Zay phased a year later since they moved. Months later after his transformation, he imprinted on Stacy Call whose brother Derrick Call imprinted on Suzanne.

Zay was seen with the tribe along with Evan and Sarah Black's cousin Lucien Summers where they are hanging around at Red Lake where he hears about Lucien developing feelings for Luna Snow which he teased him about.
