Lila Ibrahim

One of the fiercest fighters, Lila would much rather have a sword in her hand than spend hours in a dress talking to people she didn't even like.

Appearance
Much to the disappointment of her mother, Lila does not care about her appearance. Born with thick espresso colored hair, Lila deliberately cuts her own hair in a choppy manner to annoy her mother. Her and her brother share the same expressive dark brown, "puppy" eyes. Lila can often be seen with henna tattoos on her arms.

Personality
A lot of people find Lila intimidating. She tends to be serious, only talking to people who interest her. Lila does not have patience for diplomacy. She is very direct and does not lie very often, if at all. Lila values warriors above anything else. To earn her respect, one must show bravery and heart.

Biography
Lila was born in Saudi Arabia, to Hakim and Nesreen Ibrahim. Two years later, her brother was born, with many claiming him as the rightful heir to the throne. The Mars Court was founded on strength and power. With all the political unrest, the Ibrahim family lost much of their influence. They also lost a vast majority of their fortune after the government seized their holdings. The conflicts in their country soon drove the Ibrahim family away from their country, immigrating to Paris. In France, Lila enjoyed a greater degree of freedom than she had in her home country. Although her family practiced Islam, Lila did not wear a hijab.

Along with Amir, Lila attended a French private school where she became a champion jockey. Lila also took up fencing, participating in several competitions. She earned herself a reputation of being an intimidating young lady who refused any suitor that came along her way. She is good friends with Augustus, as their families are politically aligned and because of the help they gave when the Ibrahim family was fleeing their country.

Family

 * Amir Ibrahim (brother)
 * Lila and Amir have a very close relationship. Lila faces several pressures from the Mars Court and her family to behave like the perfect ruler. Although she does not care for the dirty politics of the position Lila truly does want the best for her people. She would make a better ruler than Amir, who has absolutely no patience whatsoever for lying and scheming. Lila constantly faces problems in regards to her gender. She is a strong feminist, a stance which her brother fully supports. Lila is also very protective of Amir, having scared off several of his girlfriends. They confide in each other about everything and have one of the strongest sibling bonds.
 * Hakim Ibrahim (father)
 * Lila is closer to her father than her mother. Hakim is apathetic to his daughter's decisions in terms of following religion and tradition. He has trained her in a variety of fighting methods, much to the displeasure of his wife. Hakim is very progressive in his views and believes that his daughter is just as capable as any man. He does not express this sentiment freely. He worries that if he publicly states his views, there will be more dissent. His only wish is to protect his family and his people.
 * Nesreen Ibrahim (mother)
 * Lila and her mother have a strained relationship. While Nesreen wishes for her daughter to take up her womanly duties, Lila will do the exact opposite her mother wants her to do. Nesreen believes that if Lila conforms to her gender role, the Mars Court will be more accepting of her. Lila does not agree with this idea.
 * Zaina Ibrahim (sister)
 * Zaina is Lila's younger sister. They are polar opposites, with Zaina enjoying many of the feminine activities that her mother lets her participate in. Although Lla has attempted to teach her sister self defense, Zaina is a pacifist and does not enjoy violence as much as her older sister. Regardless, they get along despite their different personalities.
 * Fatima Ibrahim (cousin)
 * Fatima is the closest in age to Lila. They attended the same school together, being some of the only Muslim girls in their class. Fatima is a proud lesbian and has dated several ladies of the court. Like Lila, Fatima enjoys fencing and playing with different weapons. They often spar together, with Lila always winning.
