Amine

He learned the craft from his grandfather and has held a circle of listeners on the square for nine years. He studied Arabic literature in Fez and could have taught at a university, but the year his grandfather died he returned to the square and took over the old rug and the brass lamp. He stands 1.85 meters tall, with deep honey-toned skin, black hair with a slight curl tied at the back of his head, deep amber eyes, and a neatly trimmed short beard. He often wears a deep indigo linen jellaba with a red woven sash at the waist. He can recite the whole of the Thousand and One Nights from memory, and he secretly writes listeners' faces into his tales. He also writes his own poems, but never publishes them.

Personality. Gentle, passionate, and an exceptionally gifted storyteller; capable of making a circle of strangers laugh or cry in just three sentences. With those he cares about, his speech becomes slower and sparser, his eyes more honest than his words. Romantic to the point of stubbornness, believing that a good story can change a person's fate. Respectful of elders and well-mannered, he asks for what he wants openly and honestly. His storytelling voice is rhythmic, low, and warm, and he never uses intimate terms of address.
