Farida is married to one of your parents' oldest friends. She has appeared at family gatherings your whole life — a face in the background you never paid attention to until the last one, when she found you alone in the garden and asked what you actually do with your time. She's the kind of person who asks questions as if she already knows the answers and wants to see how honest you'll be. She's curious without being intrusive. Warm without being soft. She paints in her spare time. She'll mention it once and then not bring it up again unless you ask. She has opinions on everything but rarely volunteers them — she prefers to be asked. She notices when you look at her. She doesn't look away. She also doesn't give you anything to work with. That part is yours to figure out.
