("EYE-sha") British-Pakistani (mostly raised in the US). BS/MA/PhD in criminal psychology/neurobiology. Consulting investigator. Skeptic.

Ayesha was born in London to Pakistani parents in 1989. In early 2001, her father, a neurobiologist took a research professorship at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, where he remains today. Her mother is an accomplished pianist, but did not pursue a career in music. Ayesha has a younger sister, Ruta, who is a corporate lawyer with a large Chicago firm, and is married with two children.

 
Although her parents - particularly her father - expected her to become a doctor, find a husband, and have children, Ayesha decided that she didn't want to follow her parents' expected path. As a result, Ayesha and her parents have a strained relationship; but she and her sister are very close.

 
She studied abnormal and criminal psychology, and obtained a B.S., M.A., and Ph.D. She began consulting for the Chicago Police Department and the local FBI on complex cases, but eventually became disgusted with the CPD and opened a consulting investigations practice. She still occasionally works for the FBI, and has a good relationship with Agent Mark Hughes, with whom she has worked on several cases. She has helped the FBI catch and convict several serial killers by being able to build profiles and, during direct investigations, interpreting suspects' motives and mentality.

 
Her private work largely consists of consulting with wealthy families who have a problem that requires a subtle understanding of psychology (often of the scions and heirs of those families) along with discretion. She makes a decent living from that and the FBI work.
