Phoenix:





Born and raised in these lands, I am a full blooded Pakistani, reportedly descended from the pre-partition Indian Rajputs - the warrior caste. Perhaps this is why the beauty and grace of the sword is something I have admired and felt drawn to since I was a young girl. Little did I know that this spark of interest would prove to be more than a historical and fantastical interest, and would later lead me into the Western Circle. It was here that students and Kaidens helped turn that spark into a flame, and encouraged me to finally grasp the sword myself.

I have developed a deep appreciation of the respect and discipline that the Circle demands. As a healer by profession, I also pride myself in maintaining the balance and sense between the skills of a respected and deadly martial art, and my calling to heal the sick and injured.
