And don’t be afraid
when, eyes closed, you look inside you
and find night is both
the silence tolling after stars
and the final word
that founds all beginning, find night,
abyss and shuttle,
a finished cloth
frayed by the years, then gathered
in the songs and games
mothers teach their children.
Look again
and find yourself changed
and changing, now the bewildered honey
fallen into your own hands,
now the immaculate fruit born of hunger.
Now the unequaled perfume of your dying.

Appearance
| Height 5'2 |
| Build Slender |
| Hair Dark brown |
| Eyes Brown |
Safa often wears her long, curly brown hair tied back, sometimes braided, usually left alone to be loose and free, and more often than not, unmanageable. Thick dark brows frequently hang low over her brown eyes, a reminder to all that her face is usually locked into a scowl. Small and slender, Safa likes to think size doesn't matter, but in a fight, it does. While she is fit enough to climb up walls and quick enough to put sufficient distance between her and whoever is chasing her until she can find a suitable hiding spot, Safa is no good when it comes to feats of strength and stamina-- and, therefore, she's a poor fighter. Hence, she always wears a long cloak alongside her stolen tunic and sirwal, as neither item restricts movement. Besides, why would she wear a dress when loose harem pants are just that much comfier?
Personality
Full of sarcasm and wit, Safa quickly lashes out with her sharp tongue before her dull dagger. Living her life in the alleys and shadows of Svapna she is abrasive to anyone who could cross her, with only young children immune to her steely and stern disposition. Always in a hurry, it is only when Safa has a goal that she becomes focused and patient. Her intelligence and willingness to take risks have been her best survival tools. She has survived this long and doesn't see why she would ever have to fix something that has worked for her for over a decade.
She has considered getting a typical job, but nothing pays as much as a trip to Naya Vapna and getting back at those that Safa feels are responsible for her and others' positions in Svapna. Besides, the thrill of the job and the realization afterward of her success are as valuable as a pocketful of gold.
