Overview
Alias(es): Razi
Real Name: Nice try...
Apparent Age: very early 20's
Concept: Keeper of the Masquerade/Priest on the Battlefield
Physical description: Razi looks like a shorter, athletically-curvy woman with dark auburn hair and grey eyes. Her style is more towards demure, but still cosmopolitan.
Appearance: 3 (Magnetic x3)
Detailed Status:
- Acknowledged by Prince Mustafa of Istanbul, Turkey
Character Information
Quiet and curious, Razi is almost never without a small notebook and her string of glass prayer beads, which see several dozen turns over the course of any gather night. When such has come up in conversation, she states she is trained as a Rabba and is willing to speak with whomever needs her services. However, she prefers to listen to the conversation than be the focus of it.
Known History
Razi moved to the Twin Cities a couple months ago from Istanbul. She has been seen mostly in the company of other Children of Haqim, notably Prince Morgan Wynn Howell, Prince Saif Al Din of La Crosse, Felix Alabastor, and Samuel Draco. When at gathering, she actively tries to be helpful in whatever situation she finds herself in- be it finding a Primogen for a visitor, helping calm down a scared ghoul, pointing out interesting news articles worth checking out, or providing information on topics of discussion. In less-than-friendly situations, she acts protective of those around her, doing her best to get non-combatants out of dangerous areas and end confrontations as quickly and amicably as possible.

Quotes
"Forgive me, my English is not quite recovered."
"hrm...."
"Why don't you let me drive? My car is much less... noticeable, yes." - said to some clanmates about to go "patrolling" in a bright yellow, pimped-out Hummer
"How may I help?"
"Perhaps a joke would help you cheer up: two rabbis walk into a deli, one turns to the other and says, 'hey, did ya hear the one about us?'" -said to a nervous ghoul at gather
"...wait, so the glittery one used to be Prince?" -on first learning about then-Archon Zio! during his last visit to the Twin Cities
Mrs. Priscilla Howell: "So Digger, what task did you give the Children of Haqim to do?"
Seneschal Digger: "Oh... I didn't give them one..."
Priscilla: "Why not?"
Digger: "Well, they're not exactly... um, they don't..."
Razi, smiling: "It's alright Seneschal, you may say whatever is on your mind- I promise I will not be offended."
(CoH Only) "The exchange of knowledge is itself a shield against our enemies in times like this."
Rumors
- (CoH only) She's not only an actual Rabba, but a Soferet (Jewish ritual scribe) as well.
- Harpy Rachel Eiken likes her because of her Sire.
- She's a seer and an oracle.
- Razi talks in Yiddish when she's having a bad day.
- She follows Felix Alabastor around wherever he goes in the Twin Cities. Either she really likes him or Felix knows she can clean up his messes for him.
- She doesn't get the whole "Assamites are all Muslim" thing.
- Oh yeah, she's Rishi's kid alright... she just needs something to trigger his kind of crazy. Tenors who melt cars, for example.
- Is a tee-totalling, holier-than-thou, goodie-two-shoes. Or maybe she just hasn't tried the dark side's cookies yet.
