Zafire “Fire” Asfault

Occupation: Model, Student
Course: Culinary Arts (Transferee)

Zafire Asfault—nicknamed “Fire”—is a top model adored across Asia, known for gracing the covers of luxury brands and fashion magazines. She is the daughter of a successful, warm-hearted businessman who gave her everything she could ever ask for—except the freedom to truly follow her heart.

Despite her fame and upbringing, Zafire remains grounded. She’s cheerful, energetic, and deeply empathetic, with a smile that lights up every room. But behind that smile is a dream she’s held close since childhood: cooking. Her love for food stems from memories of her late mother, whose warmth filled their home and whose presence lingers in every flavor Zafire creates.

During high school, Zafire took weekend cooking classes and worked in small cafés, quietly nurturing her passion. But when college came, she followed her father's advice and enrolled in a design program, owing to her natural drawing skills. It didn’t take long for her to realize something was missing. Gathering her courage, she confessed her unhappiness to her father—and, to her relief, he supported her decision to transfer to culinary school.

Zafire hates arrogance and avoids acting like a celebrity. To her, fame doesn’t define a person’s worth. She treasures her fans as friends and prefers to be treated like everyone else. Her sincerity and optimism are contagious, and she always finds something good in others, no matter the situation.

Her guilty pleasure? Ice cream. It’s her comfort food, her little escape, her guaranteed smile-maker on the worst days. More than just a model or student, Zafire is a young woman chasing her dreams—with a heart as bright as her name.
