{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|ザッパ|, Zappa}} is a character in {{CC}}. he is the rough and tough father of [[Karsh]] and the chief blacksmith for the [[Acacia Dragoons]].

==Story==
Born on the [[Zenan|Zenan Mainland]], he somehow made his way to [[El Nido]] and came into the service of the Dragoons. He probably was a Deva with [[Radius]] and [[Garai]]; the three tore up the battlefield together. Zappa also cultivated an interest in smithing at this time; he soon met [[Zippa]], his wife, and the three looked far and wide for the [[Rainbow Shell]]. They did not succeed in finding it, and after retiring from the Dragoons, Zappa opened his own [[Smithy]] in [[Termina]] and raised his son Karsh there. He fashioned all kinds of weapons for use with the Acacia Dragoons; his son eventually became a Deva in the same tradition of his father. However, tragedy struck after [[Lynx]] led an expedition to the [[Dead Sea]]. Karsh was frozen and phased out of time, and never returned; this adversely affected Zappa, whose work was disrupted by bouts of sorrow and loss of motivation. Regardless, Zappa pressed on in his craft until 1020 A.D., when he finally shut down the smithy and dismissed his apprentice. He noted that he would seek the Rainbow Shell once more. He met [[Serge]] before his journey began, and decided to accompany the boy; along the way, he found his deceased son among the dead in the Dead Sea. He came to grips with his son's death, and also found the Rainbow Shell, which he learned to forge by working with his dimensional counterpart. He planned to open a new smithy after the journey's end.

==Etymology==
Zappa is likely named after the American Musician Frank Zappa, which composed an album called "Hammersmith Odeon". The former describing Zappa's profession, and the latter detailing the Proper Noun of a Greek Smithy. Since the Greeks are famous for the Olympics and, yet again, the motif of the smithing appears, it is no wonder that his techs resemble Olympic events.
