**Parisa Kamali** is one of the Atlas Six (2020–2022 initiation class). She was recruited by Atlas Blakely in Paris, France to be initiated into the Alexandrian Society. She easily passed her initiation ritual and joined the Society.

## Biography

### Before initiation

Years before she was invited to the Alexandrian Society, Parisa was forced to marry a (presumably older) man named Nasser Aslani while she was still a teen. It is heavily implied that Nasser had abused her to some degree—whether it was physical, emotional, or both is unknown. She is the youngest of three children, born to a rich Iranian family based in Tehran. She is the youngest child, with an older brother, Amin, and older sister, Mehr. Before she was married, she discovered the way Amin thinks. It’s never outright mentioned what his thoughts were, but they were enough to cause Parisa to fear him. She was eventually pushed into a marriage, which she accepted because she knew she’d be able to get away. Later, Parisa fled from Iran to Paris, France, where she changed her name. Her birth name is never revealed.

## Appearance

Parisa is described as beautiful. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes. She has bronze skin and (according to her and many others) good-looking breasts which are completely natural. Reina notes her being surprisingly small up close. During their confrontation, Eden Wessex expresses a similar sentiment, confessing that she thought Parisa would be taller.

## Personality

Parisa is headstrong, bold, and feminine. She is very aware of herself and her surroundings. She knows her own worth, which makes her all the more powerful.

## Relationships

### Dalton Ellery

Dalton is Parisa's fling. She has sex with him only to manipulate him and get information from his mind, as she knows he won't have his guard up while he's being seduced. This comes in very handy for her, because she finds out the elimination process actually means a candidate is killed. However, by the end of *The Atlas Paradox*, it seems like Parisa develops genuine feelings for Dalton. At first, she had wanted to figure out what was wrong with him, and then his true self had come out, which surprised her since it wasn’t at all what she was expecting. Parisa liked what she saw, and so now she has a real alliance with the real Dalton.

### Tristan Caine

Parisa also used sex to secure an alliance with Tristan. Unlike Dalton, it's implied that she does somewhat care for Tristan, since she had warned him about Callum and his magical ability.

### Reina Mori

Reina and Parisa don't exactly hit it off, and the two women share a mutual dislike for each other. This only worsens after the initiation ritual.
