Based on the article from Nerdist, Zelma Stanton is a supporting character from the Doctor Strange comics who recently made her live-action debut in the MCU.

In the Comics:

• Origin: Created in 2015, Zelma was a librarian from the Bronx who sought Doctor Strange's help to remove a magical infestation of "mind maggots."
• Role: Fascinated by the magical world, she became Strange's apprentice and the official librarian of the Sanctum Sanctorum. She used her skills to organize his immense, chaotic collection of magical books and artifacts.
• Significance: Zelma provided a grounded, human perspective in Doctor Strange's life and served as a relatable entry point for readers. While she learned some minor magic, her primary strength was her intellect and organizational skill. She also had a brief romantic relationship with Strange and is currently assisting his wife, Clea, in the latest comics.

In the MCU:

• Appearance: Zelma made a brief cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. She was one of the sorcerers at Kamar-Taj helping to defend it from the Scarlet Witch's attack.
• Future Potential: The article suggests her inclusion, though minor, is significant. With Clea (played by Charlize Theron) now introduced to the MCU, Zelma could have a larger role in the future, possibly as Clea's apprentice, mirroring her current comic storyline and once again providing a human character for the audience to connect with.
