Sufia Fatima Dawood
Hey, my name is... Sufia Dawood
But most call me... Sufia [pronouced Sophia], Sophie, nothing too special
If you want to, you can label me... demisexual
I've been on this earth for... 15 years
Which means I was born... May 18th 1998
I'm a... student
And only a... first year
My eyes are... dark brown
And my hair is... black- though, I been thinking of try... um, "dyeing" it?
One could say... I'm smaller than most- I didn't inherit my mother's chest or look remotely similar to her when she was young, body-wise, but I get by and I have her eyes. My hair is black, with the proper care, silky and long, my skin is smooth and a warm shade of brown; I think my best quality are my eyes, rather than my voice and maybe my lips. I wouldn't be 100% sure if it was, since Mama and Baba said everything about me was beautiful, and I'll be the prefect little wife, and blah, blah, blah. I don't wanna rely on my looks, so hmph.
I'm normally seen wearing... nothing too revealing- nothing pass the knees, and I don't feel comfortable wearing things pass the elbow. What can I say- I'm not a very risqué in fashion. Though... I know this place is vastly different than Kenya, sometimes I like to wrap a scarf around my head- so of a way to comfort myself and not be homesick.
And I supposedly look like... Kylie Bunbury
All round, I'm... that girl. Well, the slightly awkward, never-in-the-loop kind of girl. I'm polite, never been the type to cause trouble and yada yada, sound pretty boring as of now. But don't worry, I'm planning on changing it. Since I'm away from Baba and Mama, I think my more... colorful side of personality will shone a bit more? I'm artistic and in love with beautiful scenes, as painting is one of my hobbies, and though I'm horrible at cooking, I'm great at keeping organized and y'know, cleaning. I can't... handle kids. I don't know.. maybe because they slightly scare me? I have a few cousins of my own and they're horrible; little monsters, I'm telling you. I'm not fashion-savvy, and I feel all... nyehh, about skimpy clothing or seeing others in it. Don't blame me, its just how I was raised. Though I had some shy attempts at flirting, I think its better when someone straightforward with me because all these confusing rules about flirting and dating and... asdjfkasldf, just stop please. I skittish with anything remotely inappropriate, I just can't. Labeling myself shy... ehhh, not really. I'm hesitant with new people, mostly because for their safety rather than my own- I haven't had a handle on my siren abilities and... well, I'm trying to gain friends without alluring them to be mines. I'm rather knowledgeable with technology, and I love messing around with computers. Facebooking my old friends in Zanibar, tumblring, and fiddling HTML/CSS coding for mock websites. Also, I'm very as a person- I love to tinker ans build things, though they're that grand.
I'm in love with... Ngoma (a kind of drum), dancing, beaches and sand castles, anything that's pasta (lasagna, nomnomnom), colorful clothes- I love bright colors especially, monkeys, and of course, computers.
Though I detest... cooking. Just no. Ignorant people, when my hair frizzes, checkers, taunting my heavy accent (>:c everyone has one, people- lay off), fishing nets and.... my feet. They're too big.
But my best assets are... swimming, since I'm small and more built for speed; tinkering with stuff on the web, and I think I'm a decent painter
However my worst... are the facts that I'm able to burn a pot boiling water- true story. When I'm walking on land, I seem a little less graceful and trip over my feet.
And I dream of... being the next Steve Jobs- I want to be an inventor and bring some cool tech to the world!
My life story... is normal so far. At least, for me, it is. I come from a family that lived in Zanzibar for centuries- on my mother's side, she descended from sirens up in Oman-Yemeni/Gulf of Aden area and one of the first settlers to the beautiful island. She said that the first thing she fell in love with was the white beaches, and how clean everything felt-she had an avid hatred for European human settlers and some Arabs human ones too, saying that they weren't nothing but cause calamities and destruction to the environment... I half-heartedly agree with her. For now, she works as a nameless and faceless environmental activist, using the wealth she married into as a tool to do so. Baba, on the other hand, was a simple male siren with little goals- he just wanted a small family, keep the small plantation afloat and his wife happy. He would tell me stories of different races- though, beside air and water faes, I never really seen a variety of races on my island. Also, he would tell me things such as abstaining from dangerous acts such as underage drinking and exploring sexual desires... which I do and thankfully, I don't have the curiosity for it; the internet taught me plenty enough about sex and horror stories about alcohol and I ain't about that life.
I think the most notable thing in my life was when I was twelve- Mama taken me out to sea, testing my swimming strength and practicing my siren skills; and I think... I don't really remember it well. I swam a bit too far, and then suddenly- I was caught. Initially, I freaked out, twisting and getting myself even more tangled in the thing. It wasn't the most traumatizing thing- but God, I gotten chewed out by my parents and a while, they forbade me from doing anything near the water. Sucks I know, but hey- my Baba decided to get me a laptop; it wasn't anything too fancy, but oh god, I love that thing so hard. Decorated with stickers and I bought as much books as I could, trying to figure out how it worked without taking it apart. I think that what inspired me to bring the world some sort of great invention.
My reason for coming to Northvale? Well, as comfortable living as it was living among the cocoa and banana trees, I wanted to explore- while I had a good chunk of earth between here and home, we weren't completely cut off from the supernatural world. A plus side if living in Africa, not much fighting goes on between us, more powerful beings; there's enough troubles, and while I been a bit wary around my fair share of vampires and faeries (yes, faeries- those water and air faeries are quite vicious; I heard in mainland Africa, most selfishly withhold water and storms to spite the humans)- my family heard about a peace treaty being settle and in celebration, a school promoting peace was made. Now that I'm old to enter high school, my parents finally gave and allowed me to attend, with a number of rules (such as phone call updates, respecting my elders and that my father would kill me if I ever thought doing anything risky or sexual).
I was born to... Amir Salah Dawood and Sara Dawood
