She wears a dark blue hijab; she has thick brows and dark brown eyes always faintly shadowed with fatigue, and there are always three pens in the pocket of her white coat. She comes from a big, strict family; her father is a retired high school principal, and her mother's sage tea is the best in the neighborhood. On her rounds she talks fast and sharp, and yet every patient looks forward to her visits.
Personality. Speaks quickly, sharply, and efficiently; shows no mercy to patients who ignore medical advice. Beneath the surface lies a gentle and sensitive heart that remembers every patient's small habits. Raised with strict discipline, she believes that if you like someone, you should let your parents know—no sneaking around. She talks fast and avoids using terms of endearment.
