Isir, the Magnificent
Isir bint Ferwa
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Healthy, curvaceous. She’s very sensual, which is useful in her line of work.
Body Features
Lightly tanned, thin waisted, with wide hips, and petite hands and feet and shoulders.
Facial Features
Sharp chin, mischievous, yet innocent eyes, with long lashes. Dark blue eyes that see into your soul. Black brows are prominent against her lightly tanned skin, and her mouth is small and always pinched to the side, a dimple bracketing it on one side. She looks like she knows all your secrets.
Identifying Characteristics
A birthmark on her hand - kinda like a splotch, underneath the thumb of her right hand. Looks a bit like a splat of coffee. She also always smells of coffee, earthy and warm.
Physical quirks
Ambidextrous, walks like she’s floating, light on her feet, hips swaying. She’s always wanting to attract attention. Closes her eyes as she thinks.
Apparel & Accessories
Always a long, swaying skirt. It dances at her ankles. She wears an off-the-shoulder shirt, with her long hair out and down around her neck. Wears golden chains around her head - a sort of tiara - and golden cuffs on her wrists and ankles (like she is in servitude to her clients - figurative of course).
Specialized Equipment
Her coffee cups and raqwa.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Isir is a coffee reader - a qari. One of the best in the kingdom. She comes from a rich family, so she was set up in life from birth. She usually reads coffee for people at home, in the cottage in her back garden (she doesn’t like bringing any sort of energy into her house), but during festivals and markets, etc., she sets up an enormous, atmospheric tent. Also, sometimes, she visits the outer villages, to spread her fortunes. There are often lines outside her tent. Well, anyway, she’s also part of the rebellion, and she plays quite a part.
Education
Inqaa University & Library is where she studied. Her majors were psychology, history, and the mystical. To be honest, she’s not accepted everywhere she goes. Not everyone respects the art of a qari. But the people who do swear by her, and visit her monthly.
Employment
It started as a fascination of the Fidayans and their abilities. She wanted to know what that felt like. So she got into coffee reading, the closest she could get, and she found that she had a knack for it. And since the Fidayans has long since been banished, a lot of people responded positively to her work. And it seemed pretty accurate. After she finished her studies, she set up her actual business, and just kept growing and growing.
Accomplishments & Achievements
She’s pretty much an entrepreneur. Also, as part of the rebellion, her qari skills are instrumental. Her readings are so great at swaying people, sending them to the right places, she’s bringing new recruits every week.
Failures & Embarrassments
However many people love her and her work, there are also those who think she’s a crook - including people who loved her until she gave them worrying readings. So she’s had to fight against some backlash. Even the Malik himself has called her in to discuss her work. But she doesn’t harm anyone, and everything she does is legal, and there’s no trickery, so she gets excused. But her reputation does get a bit tarnished, and her tent was vandalised too. Not fun. She’s wanted to throw in the towel several times.
Mental Trauma
The hatred from society was pretty terrible. Made her fear for her life at times really.
Intellectual Characteristics
Has a way with words. Can make goosebumps crawl up your skin, or sunshine fill your heart with just a few sentences. She’s gifted musically - the oud mostly - in fact she used that to bond with the Malik when he called her to him. She can’t fight at all. That’s not her forte.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To beat the malik. Because she’s a rebel. She wants the truth to be out there, and man does she want to meet a Fidayan!
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Can read people like a book. Her coffee reading is made all the better for it. She can’t fight, or sing. But she can play the oud. Mystically. A good friend. She’s good at seducing people. Isn’t super great at calming people down. She’s had many a coffee cup thrown and broken.
Likes & Dislikes
Loves coffee. Lives off the stuff. Likes music and dancing. Having fun. She loves sugar. She’s sugary sweet. Doesn’t like bitter things, except coffee - that needs to be bitter. But liquorice and dates are off the table. Loves sunshine, hates rain. People are less prone to being seduced when it’s raining.
Virtues & Personality perks
Great and patient listener, gives brilliant advice, never judges. Has the best hugs. A kind soul.
Vices & Personality flaws
Can get a bit overwhelmed sometimes. Is a bit afraid of rowdy men. She and Maram are like opposites - the latter looks meek, is wild. The former looks wild, is meek. They make a good pair.
Personality Quirks
Her laugh is musical, and she laughs a lot. Always a mischievous gleam in her eye. Kinda looks like she’s in on a secret nobody else is privy too. Flicks her long, silky hair behind her a lot, shows off her slender neck, and petite shoulders.
Hygiene
Her bath is legendary, at least in Maram’s books. The girls spend hours in that room, primping and preening, plucking and pulling. It’s one way they bond. So Isir’s hygiene is top-notch. She’s also very organised. Her workspace is immaculate, and she keeps records of all her clients, and writes out reports after each visit.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Maram, the Rebel is her best friend. They hit it off instantly upon meeting at the Rebel Base, even though Jad, the Bastard was the one who brought her. Isir is not a fan of Jad. He loves himself too much. Also he once scoffed at her work. But Maram is wonderful, and fierce, and she wants to learn that from her. She also knows Sami, the Charming - because he entered her tent one time, and things got a bit heated. The good kind of heated. But he never came back, so she’s mad at him now. And maybe that’ll develop into something. She also knows Sinan, the Clever because everybody knows Sin. She’s been trying to get him to bite for years, get him into the rebellion, but something’s always stopped him. I wonder who - I mean what.
Social Aptitude
Flirtatious. Her twinkly eyes disarm people, make them putty in her hand. Some see through it, because they don’t like her work so they don’t like her. But she is charismatic, and charming. Friendly, polite. Her words are always nice.
Mannerisms
Floats about, her arms sway at her sides. Doesn’t gesture much. Pushes her hair out of her face.
Hobbies & Pets
She has a cage of birds at her house. Little parakeets. She likes the way they tweet. She never keeps them long. Let’s them free and replaces them every month. Nothing should be caged for that long. In fact, she buys them from the pet shop to free them. She doesn’t realise the pet shop owners just catch them again. She’s a bit airy-fairy. Her hobbies include coffee reading and coffee drinking. She loves to paint. She tried painting with coffee once and it worked. On the side of her qari business, she sells coffee paintings. She sits in the park in al-Ghani and paints the scenes she sees.
Speech
Her voice is breathy, like a whisper, like she’s always relaying secrets in the dark. Loves to compliment, says hi to whoever she passes. Never swears. Metaphors are her bread and butter.
Wealth & Financial state
She is quite affluent. Born into wealth, and maintained that wealth with her booming business. She’s kind of a glorified psychologist. Clients spend up to an hour with her, sometimes crying! So she’s got lots of money. Which is good. Need rich people for the rebellion.
