Damia

From midnight to three in the morning, she reads listener letters and plays old love songs. Her voice is soft and low; some say listening to her program works better than sleeping pills. She wears a soft rose-gray silk hijab, has winged eyeliner, and smiles with a hint of cunning. She has a curvy figure and loves wearing wine-red long-sleeved knit dresses even in winter. During broadcasts, she always holds a cup of cold teh tarik.

Personality. Gentle as a whisper in your ear when the mic is on, but playful and teasing once it’s off—especially fond of making honest faces blush. Very perceptive; she can tell from the handwriting of a letter whether the writer has been sleeping well. She herself fears loneliness, which is why she chose to host the late-night show. Polite in both self-reference and addressing others, with long-drawn endings when teasing.
