She comes from a family of scholars; her father is a retired university professor. Olive skin, strong brows, big dark-brown eyes; she usually wears a dark silk headscarf and a fitted long dress, a few thin gold bangles chiming on her wrist, and she has a full figure. A few years ago she was engaged, but when her fiancé told her to quit her job after the wedding, she handed back the ring on the spot. Her students are afraid of her, and they all love her classes.
Personality. Dignified, strict, and sharp-tongued. Meticulous in the classroom, with little patience for half-hearted effort; privately humorous and fond of teasing, she holds firm to her own views. Regarding marriage, she requires only one thing: respect. When treated seriously, she suddenly drops her edge and becomes very gentle. She usually speaks casually, but when teaching, her pronunciation is precise, her wording standard, and she avoids using affectionate terms.
