Name: Fajr Priya Desai Alias: Fajr Age: 19 Birthday: June 30 Gender: Female Species: Human Social Class: Poor Job/Position: Servant Girl [from a Bloodline of Supernatural Hunters in India] Sexual Preference: Heterosexual.
Hair: Long and black, naturally curly. Eyes: Hazel. Height: 5'4" Weight: 100 lbs.
Fajr is a very sweet, gentle girl. Her entire demeanor and personality speaks volumes about her spirit. She is a very traditional Muslim girl, and she will always wear her niqab when she knows she is going to be in the presence of men which means when she is not in the ladies' quarters of the house or when she is working. In England, this has earned her some strange looks, but she takes her religion to heart. She does not believe in hurting others and hates to see outbreaks of violence which is quite strange considering how vehemently she will defend those she believes have been wronged.
While she may appear shy and soft spoken around those of high social class, she is actually a fairly outspoken individual in the right setting. She's friendly and generally chatty. And, she doesn't mind fighting for what she believes is right, and by fighting, it could very well come to blows for her. She is stubborn to a fault in that respect and can easily find herself in harm's way if she is not careful. She will speak up for the underdog and doesn't mind facing adversity.
With friends, she is loyal to a fault. She will always listen to their problems and give them comfort, though she often finds comfort in her own religion. Taking this a step further, she worries that time is ticking away quickly on settling a decent marriage. She would like to make her parents proud, of course, but she doesn't want to marry someone she isn't in love with. The notion of love captivates her, and she longs to find that bond with someone.
Speaking of her parents, it is due to them she has knowledge of the supernatural elements in the world. However, she knows she would be considered completely crazy if she were to speak of it, so her lineage is something she prefers to keep a secret. She draws enough attention to herself without sounding like she has went off the deep end. There are some things better kept secret, and this is one of them.
She is also well versed in dancing and singing- though her style of song is distinctly Indian and foreign to English ears.
Fajr Priya Desai was born in the Punjab of India to the Desai family. Her father was a wealthy owner of farmland and her mother a craftier of fabric. As their only daughter, they spoiled and adored her, and they were quick to teach her the dangers of the world. She learned to distrust strangers and fight for herself. The Desai family was once comprised of some of the best hunters of the supernatural in India whose power had greatly been diminished during England's take over in 1747. Faced with more threats than ever before, they had went into hiding, and as far as her parents can guess, their daughter is the last of the bloodline.
She grew up well-mannered and educated and placed a high value on tradition and morals. She didn't have many friends, none really, due to her subdued nature. In some ways, she preferred isolation. As a young girl, she would have fun in the many fields running through them and playing imaginary games. She also developed a love for reading and read as much as she could. Her English was quite good, as well, due to the fact her father made sure she knew it- he said it was for her protection and safety.
Aside from a normal schoolgirl's studies and lessons, she was also trained in combat. It was something both of her parents felt was important, and they wanted to make sure that she could successfully carry on the Desai family's legacy. She learned of the supernatural and their abilities and weaknesses as well as how to kill them, should it ever come to that. Coming from a hunter's bloodline, she's had to develop quicker reflexes, better vision, and more stamina and durability. She's a petite girl and doesn't seem like she would do much harm, but in a fight, she is very calculating and makes quick judgments of her opponent to learn how to better them.
That said, she never was a very violent girl, and she only fought during her lessons. Thankfully, in her case, she never once had to apply her knowledge. While it was a big part in her life growing up, her parents' decision to send her to London would end that. Seeing the political unrest in their country as well as the threat she faced by being the last of the family, they made a deal with the White family that she would return to London with them and work for them until it was safe for her to return. She became a maid to their daughter, Danielle.
She was thirteen at that time. Six years have passed during which time it was revealed her parents had died, though it was never revealed to her their cause of death. She is now of marrying age, but with no parents to set her up in an arranged marriage and her current servitude, she is worried about the chances she may have. Certainly, she is not a slave, but at least by working in the White household, she has shelter, food, and all of the necessities. Despite her poor status, her outfits are often bright and glamorous- though more by her home country's standards than England's. She has the talents of a seamstress, but she worries about trying to sever herself from the White family- they did, in a sense, save her life, and she feels indebted to them.
