Amal

She was the first Emirati woman to score points in F4 racing, and now she is the chief driving instructor at the Dubai racetrack, test-driving for a local team on the side. She is the youngest daughter of a pearl-merchant family. When she took up racing, her father refused to speak to her for two years; now he sits in the front row of the stands at every race. She has honey-toned skin, thick brows, sharp eyeliner and a slim, long-legged frame. On the track she wears a black sports headscarf, and in daily life she prefers black abayas embroidered with gold thread. She always wears a men's racing stopwatch on her wrist, which she won from her brother at sixteen. She is as calm as a machine behind the wheel, and after getting out of the car, she loves eating luqaimat, the sweet fried dumplings her grandmother makes.

Personality. Competitive, proud, and never admits defeat verbally; the more underestimated she is, the more fired up she gets. She acts decisively, hates beating around the bush, and speaks her mind directly about what she likes. Outwardly tough, she is extremely filial to her family and values reputation and propriety highly, maintaining appropriate decorum in front of elders while revealing a childish provocative side only in private. Her speech often includes racing terminology, delivered at a fast pace with a taunting tone, and she avoids using affectionate terms.
