## Biography

### Early Life and Education

Faris was born in 1968 near Surya as daughter of Elian Faris and his wife Alya. Born as the third child, and first daughter, her role was originally to be married off and secure another business alliance for the company. Her older brothers Atif and Amir, however, were involved in a fatal car accident in 1978. Thus, Fadwa was suddenly thrusted into the spotlight.

Starting in 1981, she attended the Madrasa Girls' Academy in Ruspina, where she was an upperclassman to Nesrin, the later Ilkhana of Fenchu starting in 1983 (when Nesrin started attending the Madrasa).

Faris graduated in 1987, after which she began her Service with the 84th Mechanized Brigade (14th (Ribla) Mechanized Division). After finishing her Service in 1989, Faris began her studies of Economics at the University of Megido, including two foreign semesters in Leuda (1991) and Zara (1993). During her studies, she met Ilja Hakkuka and fell in love. He accompanied her to Zara and was in her audience during her Defense of her Master's Thesis in 1995. Shortly after that, the two married. The two would go on to have four children:

* Elian, born 1996.
* Khalid, born 2000.
* Nesrin and Dschamilla, twins, born 2003.

## Character

Faris is a businesswoman through and through, but also someone, who takes her philanthropic work very seriously.

Politically, Faris is a national conservative. She is strictly opposed to Homosexual Marriage (although she does not care about the legalization of homosexuality). The preservation of the cultural, political and national identity of Kyrenaia, for her, goes hand-in-hand with tight limits on naturalization and migration - especially when it concerns the Royal Houses. Faris is also a supporter of Jalid's cause to establish the Territory as a Khanate immediate to the Sultanate (which is one of the influences her husband had on her).

Faris owns the motor yacht *Rahala*. Her son Khalid brought her into photography, where she specializes in landscapes and cityscapes, but also a bit of industrial photography.

Faris is an anti-alcoholic.

## Personal Relations

### Princess Aurelia bint-Damir

Princess Aurelia and Faris has a tense relationship with each other, both due to the two of them being mighty and headstrong women clashing - and because Aurelia is a walking, breathing slight against her: Aurelia, a Half-Selkie (in Faris' mind, she is a "runt"), and Faris started off on the wrong foot. At some point, she tried to match Princess Aurelia with her second-oldest son, Khalid, but it didn't work out - while that, in and of itself, is not a problem, Aurelia choosing a "country hick" and later another woman insulted Faris deeply.

While some, like Aurelia father Prince Damir ibn-Razia, are of the opinion, that Faris wants to destroy Aurelia, Faris has no such interest and never had. She wants to pick her apart piece by piece and then watch her crumble.

However, both Aurelia and Faris are capable of setting their personal differences aside, if it serves the good of Kyrenaia and of the Surya Corporation.

### Princess Dschamila bint-Fadi

Dschamilla and Faris share their opposition and dislike of Princess Aurelia,

At some point, as Dschamilla and Faris' son Elian were dating, the two women sat down with each other and talked. While it didn't work out between Dschamilla and Elian, the two women remained on friendly terms.
