I really don't think you should be analyzing it in that way. Illusion magic in FT can vary quite a lot. Roubaul made sure that the people he made with his magic were physical(could feel) and had their own personalities. He himself was a ghost. But I am going on the basis that Zeira is a figment of her imagination not a ghost or magic.

With that in mind and the data we have, nothing points to her being alive other than Mavis' own belief.
