==Commonly Known==
Bahira came out of Arcadia embracing the sun that beat upon her desert durance, ready and proud to live a virtuous life. But damned if she's going to sit by and watch her fellow Changelings fuck everything up. This is her home, dammit, and she's determined to protect it in the only ways she knows how. So far the feisty Sun courtier has managed not to murder anyone, but you really don't want to be the first, do you? 
Still, the effects of isolation from her larger court are felt on Bahira, and she's had to creatively adapt several of their rituals to fit the local realities. Summer Solstice (known to her court as Kupala Day) is celebrated by Bahira's once-yearly bedding of Spring King Eric--the day is supposed to be about romantic love instead of sexual love, but you go to Kupala day with the tools you're given and Bahira prides herself on her practical flexibility.
Bahira oversees Freehold duels, as she has a reputation for justice and fairness. No one has ever seriously argued with her referee calls, and for the most part she is able to make most duels conclude with a yield rather than death. Bahira is doubly valuable to the Freehold, as she is employed on the local police force and is sometimes called upon to "clean up" Changeling messes. 
Spring 2009: Bahira moves to DFW, an established member of the Sun court and with a local reputation for being tough but fair. Soon thereafter, she oversees the duel between Skyler Wexler and Keoni Foxfire. This is one of the few duels in her career which ended in death, but the match was ruled fair. 
==Uncommonly Known==
Bahira knows that Skyler used Summer rage-magic to goad Keoni into fighting to the death rather than yielding. She chose not to expose Skyler, and instead ruled the match a fair one. She considers the match her indirect judgment on Keoni for crimes he committed against women. Only Bahira knows this; she has not confided the event to anyone.
