Psychological & Vocal Information
Najwa was raised as a marafiq, a certified companion for the elite of Stygia, wielding no small measure of political influence and power before her exile. Having been born at the makhur, she began her training at a young age, receiving an education fit for one of a high social class along with training in many of the classical arts. Her marafiq training involved learning the arts of seduction and pleasure, both mental and physical, as well as how to read people. She was also trained to read and use body language, including microexpressions.Before her exile, Najwa was in contention to become the house priestess of her makhur, a position of great honor and responsibility. However, this opportunity was abruptly taken from her due to a scandal that led to her exile. Despite this setback, Najwa's henna and scarification still bear the marks of a high priestess, a testament to her resilience and unwavering spirit.Najwa's considerable skills and knowledge were not limited to her role as a marafiq. She was also adept at conducting rituals and ceremonies that extended well beyond physical pleasure, focusing on nurturing psychological and emotional well-being. These skills have been seamlessly adapted to her current role as the Curator for the Heth'Amen Athenaeum, a testament to her adaptability and versatility.

Common Rumours
■ "Apparently, she was some sort of Companion in Stygia - a highly sought-after Companion." — Nemedian Barmaid
■ "Madam al-Tawfiq al-Sahira is the Curator of the Heth'Amen Enclave." — Zamorian Merchant
■ "She's the altruistic sort. I overheard her buying potions for someone who'd just arrived in exile. Made my heart warm to see such kindness." — Exiled Townsperson
Uncommon Rumours
■ "I don't think the woman's ever done more than trim the dead-ends from her hair - it's exceptionally long, though various styles she wears make it seem a bit shorter than it is." — Desert Dweller
■ "There's something called the Grand Athenaeum in the enclave she's the administrator for, which is just a huge library. Creating and curating the place is her life's work" — Turanian Drunkard
Rare Rumours
■ "I've been to Stygia before. The marafiqs, the Companions, wield no small amount of political power - sex is often the least of the services they offer." — Street Rat
■ "That woman learns at a frightening pace. It's almost as if she needs to see something being done to learn how to do it. Teaching her was almost all too easy." — Scholarly Sorceress
■ "Need information? The princess of the sands can get it for you or find you someone who can." — Misbegotten Miscreant
Restricted Rumours
■ "As her supposed father tells it, he would be the son of Set himself - likely a load of horseshit being used by the vizier to stay in power." — Unknown
■ "I took an extended stay at the makhur she's from. From what I understand, she shocked her sisters by willingly giving up her ability to bear children in trade for more power - if these Companions are to be trusted." — Dainty Daliah
■ "She was meant to become the mother of the chapter house within that makhur she grew up in...and yet chose to leave the makhur. I'm just as confused as you are!" — Gossipy Goldspinner

■ Boundaries: The only things I'm against in RP is serious harm being done to my character without discussing such first. So no maiming, no horrific scarring, no death without discussing the events leading to such.I enjoy social RP and RP events. I enjoy long-term RPs and short-term RPs. While I'm all for erotica, I'm much more hesitant to get Rey involved with a serious relationship that isn't organic.
■ Notes: Yes, the character is based on Inara from Firefly. Deal with it.
