Farah's eye color is a warm, dark brown. Her eyes change colors when she uses her magic and turn silver-blue.

Farah's natural hair color is golden brown. Her hair is only ever seen by others in an intricate, elegant updo. When she lets down, though very few people have ever seen it that way, it reaches slightly above the small of her back in beautiful waves. She religiously cares for and styles her hair, and has a very precise routine for doing so.

Farah has a soft but defined jawline, set and narrowed shoulders, and long legs. Her figure is athletic, and she also has feminine curves. Even though it has been a while, she still has the same strong form and muscles that she developed years ago from Rosalind's intense Specialist training and battling against Burned Ones.

Her hair or her eyes, especially when she uses her magic and they glow.

Farah wears more makeup when it is convenient (such as for a formal event at Alfea), but she traditionally maintains a natural appearance with daily makeup. Most days, she wears a minimal amount.

Farah has a tattoo on the index finger of her left hand: a line circling completely under her middle knuckle and three dots closer to her base knuckle.

"I had a crush on Saul since the moment we met. We always worked extremely well together as a fairy and Specialist. Then once we graduated, both of us were selected to join Rosalind's battalion. So I asked him if he wanted to get a tattoo with me. He said yes. We called it a team-bonding exercise, so Rosalind wouldn’t get suspicious. I’m pretty sure she was, she never said anything about it. Anyway, three dots in Morse code stands for the letter S, which is the letter of both of his initials. Saul Silva. In turn, he got both dot-dot-dash-dot for F and dash-dot-dot for D, which are my initials. I got mine on my finger, obviously, but his tattoo took up more space. So he got it done on his upper back, between his shoulder blades. We just wanted to be rebellious, even if it was in the form of something as simple as a silly tattoo.” – Farah on her tattoo's meaning

Farah's ears are pierced, and if she has her earrings in, she likes to wear a pair that matches whatever necklaces she wears.

Farah has several healed scars on her body as a result of training so intensely under Rosalind in her youth. She has two that are the most significant. One is on the outside of her left forearm stretching from about two inches above her wrist to her elbow. She received that from Andreas's blade during a sparring session.

~~

A short but intensely commanding woman paced around the edge of a training mat. She was 5'5" and had blonde hair that was pulled back into a tight ponytail. The clothing she wore was best described as "casual militaristic." Her icy blue eyes swept over the group of four soldiers in front of her.

A younger version of Farah, slightly anxious and trying to hide it, stood beside an athletic-looking man slightly taller than her with shortly cropped black hair and blueish-gray eyes. On her other side was a cocky-looking man with brown hair, green eyes, and a beard. Beside him was another man who was Farah's height. He was bald and had gentle brown eyes.

"Today's spars will be in pairs," the short blonde, Rosalind Hale, stated sharply. "Fairies will team up with a Specialist and work together to defeat the other team. First blood -- as always." Her eyes narrowed, taking in the four. "Dowling, you'll be partnered with Silva. Harvey, you're with Andreas."

"Yes, Rosalind," they spoke in agreement. Younger Farah looked relieved by the pairings, as did the black-haired man beside her, Saul Silva. The bald man, Ben Harvey, looked over at his partner to speak to him, but Andreas was busy alternating between staring at Farah and giving Saul little looks, which the other man was ignoring.

Soon, the spar had commenced. The fairies used their magic to keep each other at bay while the Specialists clashed blades in the center of the training mat. Farah and Saul worked with incredible chemistry and seemed to be gaining an edge against Andreas and Ben.

But suddenly, Andreas's earth fairy teammate managed to grow a vine that snared Saul's ankle and wrapped up around his legs to immobilize him. With the other Specialist subdued, Andreas ran hard at Farah. The young fairy was caught off guard, torn between defending herself and helping her Specialist partner. She made a decision in the blink of an eye and reached out to him while calling his name. "Saul!"

That was the moment Andreas seized to lunge toward her and draw his blade up her skin from her wrist to her elbow. Farah's eyes widened, and she staggered away from him. The wound gushed blood, and she crumpled slowly to her knees in shock.

Rosalind watched the fight with a narrowed gaze, and without a word, she turned and walked away.

~~

The other scar is on her leg. It is a much more jagged and rough-looking cut than the one on her arm and extends from her right hip down the side of her thigh to her knee. That scar was from her most severe Burned One scratch and for some reason, never properly healed. It was a vicious attack.

Farah has a small birthmark on her right shoulder bone that she's rather sensitive about. She makes sure it is hidden by all of the clothes that she wears. If she wears a one-sleeved gown, she takes careful precautions to make sure the shoulder that is covered is the one with her birthmark.

Farah usually carries an outdoorsy smell mixed with the scents of some earthly alcohols, varying hair products, and the sweet, honey-infused tea that she always drinks. It all contributes to the unique scent of Farah Dowling.

Farah's voice can be both gentle and sharp. It all depends on the situation that she is overseeing. Her accent emphasizes her tone either way. Typically, she speaks with clarity and poise, and her tone is firm.

British

Eve Best

Farah's style is very academic. Muted or dark colors and modest, but also classy, elegant, and eye-catching (especially her hair). She prefers to wear button-up shirts in soft or muted colors. Out of habit, the most colorful she'll get is wearing maybe a soft pink or blue. Her goal for her clothing outside of teaching is comfortable.

Farah prefers to wear soft sweaters and leggings when she's in private. Anything comfortable rather than the professional work attire she wears nearly all day. If it's too hot for a sweater, she'll wear a loose T-shirt instead, usually black or pale blue.

Farah often wears a long coat over any outfit she wears, often dress pants and a button-up blouse. She will occasionally wear dresses, but most of her clothing is darker shades of color. Most times, her shirt will be the only color in her outfit as her pants are typically black.

A form-fitting dress, usually black but occasionally grey, or dark blue, with an intricate hairstyle and light makeup.

Farah does not prefer to wear any kind of headwear since she puts effort into her updos and doesn't want them to be ruined.

Usually, Farah wears boots with her daily attire. When she wears dresses, she will wear flats or slightly-heeled shoes instead.

Farah doesn't typically carry or wear any accessories other than wearing a coat or jacket over her blouse or dress.

Farah likes to wear jewelry, usually necklaces, with larger pendants. All of her jewelry used to be her mother's. She doesn't wear any rings aside from her gateway ring, which she typically wears on her right thumb.

Farah doesn't wear armor or have a need for it. Her magic is usually able to keep people at bay while she is fighting.

Farah was trained in Specialist arts as well as fairy magic, so she can use a bow and arrow, most types of blades (swords, daggers, etc;), and is proficient in hand-to-hand combat. Though, because of her magic, she doesn't often need to.

Farah's gateway ring allows her to travel from the Otherworld to the First World and vice versa.

Farah is typically a very closed-off and hardened woman due to the many secrets she hides about her past and the past of Alfea in order to keep her students safe. However, she shows her softer side around her friends and fellow professors, Saul Silva and Ben Harvey. She has definite trust issues with literally everyone else and is incredibly wary of almost everyone at first. But when someone can get past her stoic exterior, she's a total softie --kind, caring... motherly, almost. This is the side of her that basically only her closest friends ever get to see. Even though she has trust issues, if someone earns her trust, she is loyal to a fault. She is also noble and had a strong moral compass… which Saul and Ben sometimes poke fun at or disagree with.

Type A

Farah typically tries to avoid conflict, but she is not afraid of encountering it. She recognizes it as inevitable, especially with some people, but she's too noble to purposefully seek it out. When she has to deal with it, she deals with it.

Farah used to be, but it's a habit she's grown out of.

She kind of has to be, but she isn't a fan of it. Farah rather prefers the company of blades and magic to people, unless it's Saul or Ben.

No, she's given up on the prospect of romance.

Yes, very. But she won't admit it.

Farah is extremely strong in her magical abilities, which have grown significantly since she fought Burned Ones with Rosalind. She also is dedicated, has very strong mental defenses, and is decisive. She is able to keep a level head and level emotions in tense or demanding situations.

Farah is a workaholic. Her composure can be very stoic, almost completely unemotional at times for fear of showing emotion. She trusts very few people.

Farah is determined to forget about her past and leave it behind her. However, she's been unsuccessful for sixteen years. The headmistress is also motivated by her students. She wants to protect them while also teaching them in a different way than she was taught.

Blood witches are the burden of the Otherworld. Their magic is dangerous and illegal. Only fairies are allowed to practice magic in the Otherworld.

Farah has significantly deep trust issues after being manipulated for so long by Rosalind. She hides many secrets and can be taken as extremely reserved and unemotional.

Farah is afraid of someone finding out her secrets and using them against her. She fears the return of Rosalind and/or the Burned Ones. She's also afraid of the fact that everyone in her life only likes her for her power and magical strength.

Farah regrets the events of Aster Dell more than anything else in her entire life. She wishes that she could make the tragic events right while also knowing it's impossible.

Because of Aster Dell, Farah tries to keep the entirety of her youth under wraps. The only other people who know are Saul Silva and Ben Harvey.

The wound that gave her the scar on her leg.

Very high

Overall, Farah has exceptional control over her keeping emotional expressions and body language minimal, despite what she may be feeling. She's learned to remain calm, at least somewhat, no matter what dangers are near or the emotions she's feeling. She's often unreadable except for people close to her or when she feels an emotion very strongly.

Farah naturally stands with her back straight and her chin lifted.

Farah carries herself with importance, confidence, and authority. She always projects strength through her actions and body language.

Farah doesn't curse very much, so when she does, she's usually very angry or she's trying to emphasize something. Or she's quite drunk.

Farah's sense of humor is refined, sophisticated, and most of all... subtle. The kind of humor that not everyone will get. And most people don't think the headmistress even has a sense of humor. But when someone gets close to her, it will start to show, and Farah can actually be very funny.

When Farah is calm, people know it. Her expression softens, and her body language is more fluid. She also projects a bit more confidence but not enough to be overly so. If she's sitting, she will lean back slightly in her chair while still sitting upright and maintaining her straightened posture.

Farah's eyes will light up with joy whenever she becomes happy or excited about something. Her smile is genuine and not forced like it can be most other times. She will also physically let her shoulders loosen and her eyes lose their weariness, if only for a moment.

Sadness is one of the raw emotions that Farah shows to more than just those who are in her inner circle. Her expression will tense, but the giveaway is that her eyes will glisten. The tears are visible, but she won't let herself cry.

To make Farah angry, a person really needs to know how to push her buttons. She doesn't become angry very often, but she expresses it with looks first, words second, and actions third. She'll shoot glares, but if the person doesn't stop enticing her, she'll begin to make sharp quips or remarks in return. Only when she is completely fed up with someone's bullshit will she physically or magically act on it.

Farah is usually able to keep from showing her annoyance or irritation with another person, but when it shows, it's in the form of sharper body language. She'll cross her arms or the corner of her lips will twitch while she tries to keep from saying something she might regret.

Farah is typically wary in any public scene with people she's not acquainted with or doesn't think to be trustworthy. As she starts to get more and more perturbed, her eyes will be continuously moving to assess any hidden dangers, and she might tap into her magic if she feels particularly unsettled. She'll also move further from people she distrusts/closer to people she does trust if they are there.

The biggest indicator of surprising Farah is that her eyes widen. She might make a little gasp, depending on how much she's surprised, but again, usually her reactions are minimal.

Farah might jump a bit if someone or something frightens her, but she's more of a "fight" than a "flight" person when abruptly startled. If she's startled enough, some of her magic might knock over an object, slam an open door, or something like that. If you plan on scaring Farah Dowling, you do it at your own risk.

Farah isn't one to blush very often, but she will if she's ashamed about something. She'll avoid looking at whatever is making her feel embarrassed. If it's a person, she'll deliberately ignore them.

When Farah is especially confused by a person or situation, her eyes will narrow slightly while she thinks about how to understand what is going on/something that was said. If it's an event happening around her, she will dart her eyes around to find out what's going on and locate the source of her uncertainty.

Farah doesn't admit it aloud whenever she's exhausted or getting too tired to continue, but her movements will be slower than usual. Her eyes will get too heavy to keep open, and about a quarter of the time, she falls asleep over work on her desk because she's too stubborn to admit that she's tired and or in need of a break.

Farah has claimed that as the headmistress, waiting makes her "feel like a glorified babysitter." She's rather impatient, especially when it comes to events that she has sent others to take care of in her place. She would much rather be completing the tasks herself to ensure that they're done right and no one else gets hurt if the task is especially dangerous.

Farah is an especially fierce fighter. She mainly uses her magic in a fight, but when she combines her magic with her Specialist training, she's a force to be reckoned with. However, she usually only uses her magic. Farah makes sure to protect anyone she's fighting with while also controlling her abilities to inflict the most damage possible. Sometimes, she uses runic limiters to subdue an opponent completely.

Farah is just as tactical in a trapped situation as she is in battle. Her mind doesn't stop working to try and plan out any kind of escape. She tries to remain as calm or emotionless as possible if there are others with her so that they don't panic.

While Farah is sleeping, she usually looks peaceful, especially if she's just fallen asleep. While she's dreaming, though, it's usually a nightmare that expresses itself both in her mind and with her body. She rolls around and whimpers, occasionally lashing out if the nightmare is really bad.

If Farah is in pain, she is usually able to hide it well, unless it's extreme pain. She has a very high pain tolerance overall. However, typically in pain, Farah will grit her teeth to keep from saying anything, and she is most of the time able to use her pain manipulation to dull the area.

Farah has gotten remarkably good at lying, much to her own dismay. Still, she has very subtle tells that those who are closest to her are able to read. She'll speak with absolute certainty, but then she'll quickly change the topic or dismiss the conversation. She might also stammer slightly or hesitate, but that doesn't happen as often anymore.

Farah has a very tactical mind when encountering threats. She'll assess both her surroundings and the level of danger the threat possesses to herself or others. She maintains a calm outward appearance, but she calls her magic to her in case things go south.

Farah maintains her expression to be as straight as possible. She sits and takes it while ignoring the person, whoever it is. If it gets to be too bad or obnoxious, or they say something truly low, then she'll retort with a smart response that both insults the other person beyond belief and gives them nothing to come back at her with.

Farah does not flirt very often. Usually, however, she flirts with her eyes and very subtle glances. She tries to find casual excuses to get closer or touch whoever she's flirting with.

Farah can recognize flirting usually, especially since she can read other people's body language so well and also read thoughts. Sometimes, she'll have a bit of lighthearted flirting in return if she can sense that they have innocent intentions. If the intentions are more than that, she'll decline anything further after the initial attempt.

When Farah is in love, truly in love, there is nothing that she won't do for her partner. She stays close to them, especially in public settings, and if there is any danger, Farah will move between the threat and her partner to protect them. She's also fiercely possessive.

Farah's laugh is usually quiet and polite. She doesn't let herself truly laugh much because she personally doesn't like the sound of it.

Farah is adorable when she's drunk. She's literally either the softest or the more seductive. She usually drinks a lot when she's stressed so it can calm her down. She's not a lightweight by any means, but it also doesn't take her long to get drunk if she is consistently downing drinks. It's one of her stress-relief habits. She giggles a lot –something she doesn't do at all when she's sober – she emphasizes a lot of words when she's speaking, and (depending on who she's with) she might get a little handsy or more.

Farah has only ever been high once. It happened when she was younger, and it led her to making out with Andreas in the Stone Circle. So she never wants to have an experience like it ever again. She felt simultaneously sleepy and energized. It, surprisingly, didn't affect her physical movements, and it didn't last long. Farah assumed its effects didn't have as much of a lasting effect because of her mind fairy abilities, but as previously stated, she never wants to try it again to find out.

While she's not around little kids often, Farah is very good with them. She entertains young children with her magic and tells them stories of her traveling across Solaria and other realms in the Otherworld (but of course, she leaves out the parts with the battalion and killing the Burned Ones).

As the headmistress of Alfea, Farah deals with teenagers all the time. She typically comes across as distant, emotionless, or uptight while interacting with them. In front of a group, such as while she is teaching, she maintains a stricter appearance and manner of speech since she has an image to uphold. However, in one-on-one situations, Farah can be more compassionate and approachable, depending on the student.

Farah's behavior around other adults very much depends on who the other adults are. If it's someone that she trusts completely, she lets down her guard and will laugh and have a drink. If it's an acquaintance, she will be polite and well-mannered. Around those she doesn't know or distrusts, she can be described as cold. Sometimes, she may even ignore them completely, especially if it's a social situation where there is a decent amount of people around them.

"It's you and me against the world, Farah." - Saul Silva

July 31

As a young girl, Farah was loved deeply by both of her parents. She discovered her use of magic around age two when her mother cut herself accidentally in the kitchen, and Farah was playing nearby. The girl dropped her toy, empathetically feeling her mother's pain, and began to cry. She began to continue growing her powers since then.

Her mother began to train her in the mental and emotional aspects of mind magic while her father started teaching her swordplay and footwork as soon as she was steady on two feet. Castian and Illiana Dowling treasured their daughter and loved her beyond belief. Little Farah recognized that through their pure, clear emotions, and she loved them just as deeply in return.

They were a very happy family, but her parents didn't know exactly how powerful Farah was until one day when she was around eight years old. A rouge Burned One had made its way onto the Dowling's property, and her mother and father both went out to kill it.

Farah heard a female scream, and she ran outside to see Illiana fall, bleeding from a scratched wound on her stomach. It didn't take long for Farah to figure out what had happened. The Burned One's claw had pierced Illiana. Farah began to sprint toward them, calling out to them. Illiana managed to yell back to her daughter to stay inside, but Farah ignored the warning. Castian fell moments later, and Farah was so angry and distraught over their injuries that she unleashed an unreasonably powerful blast of telekinetic magic that blew the Burned One deep into the woods. However, the blast didn't kill the Burned One right away, and her parents both died from the infection caused by its scratches before Farah could help them.

The current headmistress of Alfea at the time, Rosalind Hale, felt the power, and she used a gateway to travel to the house in southern Solaria to investigate. She found Farah in the master bedroom, curled up and crying in her parents' bed. The distraught young girl tried to unleash her magic on Rosalind, but the older fairy brushed it off like it was nothing. They each took an interest in each other's magic, and Rosalind offered to take the young girl back with her to Alfea College for training and to further her use of magic. Farah was heartbroken to leave her family behind, but she agreed.

Farah wasn't old enough to attend Alfea initially, so she mostly just trailed Rosalind like a sort-of daughter. It made sense because she viewed Rosalind as a mother figure in her world. When she was finally old enough to attend the prestigious school, Farah very quickly became one of the most powerful fairies in her year and the entire school.

During her time at Alfea, Farah met Saul Silva, Ben Harvey, Rose Harvey, Andreas of Eraklyon, and Luna of Solaria. She was partnered with Saul Silva as her Specialist, and the two began to fall in love with each other. They were never able to act on it due to Rosalind's strictness, but they were each deeply in love with the other by the end of their first battalion mission.

Farah eventually became Rosalind's assistant, then once she graduated, Rosalind offered her an apprenticeship as her protégé and additionally as a member of her premier battalion. Farah very easily agreed to both roles.

The battalion – Rosalind, Farah, Saul, Ben, and Andreas – completed several missions, including the Blackwoods Massacre and the Maravet Falls Excursion.

During this time, Farah was incredibly close with her mentor. Between the battalion and her apprenticeship, Farah and Rosalind began to spend most of their time around each other.

One night, the pair had returned to Alfea from a successful expedition. It was dark, and they were in Rosalind's office both working late. At one point, Rosalind approached Farah with a bottle of liquor. They drank the bottle together and once Farah was drunk enough to be manipulated, Rosalind put her arm around her protégé and enticed her. Farah instigated the kiss, and they began to have a romantic and sexual relationship in addition to their working relationship, but it was completely secret. No one else knew, and Rosalind made Farah swear never to tell anyone about it. This led to Farah being deeply confused and torn between her relationship with Rosalind, her feelings for Saul, and the work she was doing outside of the battalion.

Rosalind had Farah tied on the end of a string with her protégé being completely, blindly loyal to her. It didn't take long for Rosalind to abuse the connection they had on multiple levels.

Things went on like this for a while, but then in December of 2004, Rosalind brought the battalion to the civilization of Aster Dell. Rosalind had assured Farah and the rest of her battalion that the civilization had been evacuated and only Burned Ones would be killed in the blast. Believing their leader, Farah, Ben, and Rosalind used convergence magic and electrokinesis to summon a lightning strike on the civilization. However, when Farah went down to observe the destruction of the town up close, she saw charred bodies that had not been Burned Ones.

Farah, Saul, and Ben all turned against Rosalind and managed to overpower her. Farah then put Rosalind in stasis and trapped her in a prison barrier deep in Alfea's undercroft.

In Rosalind's "failure to return from the mission," Farah took over as the headmistress of Alfea, as she had been Rosalind's protégé, and she has maintained the position ever since.

Farah attended and graduated from Alfea College.

Headmistress of Alfea

She lives in Alfea, still, but she still longs of having her own home within Solaria someday.

Description of Farah's room
The room itself consisted of a bed, closet, dresser, desk, and vanity.

It was painted a dark blue, and the curtains and sheets on the bed were a soft gold hue. In the middle of the room, a dark blue circular rug, about the same color as the walls, was spread over the hardwood floor. The bed was pressed against the wall and neatly made.

On the opposite side of the room, a large desk was positioned facing out the room's larger window with a view over the Alfea grounds looking towards the Specialist training area. Piles of paper dripped off its surface and a porcelain cup was overcrowded with pencils, pens, and highlighters. A laptop was open, but the screen was dark, and the keyboard was buried somewhere underneath all the papers, so it didn't seem to have been used in a while.

Beside the desk, a closet and a dresser were side-by-side. Each contained clothes either folded or hung with extreme precision.

A mirror hung above the vanity, and the top of the vanity was covered completely with a large assortment of both makeup and hair supplies along with a hairbrush, a curler, and a straightener. And on every available surface, there were more stacks of books, as if having a complete library in her office wasn't enough for Farah.

Saul Silva – in Farah's room after they got back from Maravet Falls. They were both sitting on her bed, talking about the mission and Saul's kill count when they both started leaning in, and they kissed. This led to them realizing their feelings and that they were each falling in love with the other.

Saul Silva

Ended the war against the Burned Ones (the entire battalion was given credit for it, including Rosalind "posthumously," because Luna insisted)
Created the barrier to protect from any Burned One attacks in the future

Any memory of Aster Dell was stricken from Solarian history after Queen Luna raised the illusion veil to hide the former civilization. Farah Dowling's criminal record is clean.

Castian Dowling
Before his death, Farah's relationship with her father was strong. Though it wasn't as strong of a bond as Farah had with her mother, she and her father rarely fought or argued. She loved going out into the woods with him and seeing all the flowers and animals and being in nature. Her father was the one who actually began her Specialist training, not Rosalind. He gave her a wooden sword for her sixth birthday, and he taught her a few defensive steps first before showing her how to then defend herself.

Illiana Dowling
Before her death, Farah's relationship with her mother was very strong. The two shared a bond of being mind fairies, and Illiana helped Farah to discover more of her abilities, even though she was worried that Farah wouldn't be able to control them very well at her young age. She taught Farah the importance of control and using her magic to express her positive emotions, which Farah has always held onto. Most of her jewelry used to be her mother's, and she wears it with immense pride in the fairy that raised her, even if she doesn't remember much of her now.

Saul Silva
If anyone meant the world to Farah, it would be Saul Silva. They were paired together as a fairy-Specialist team at Alfea, and they've been inseparable ever since. They got their tattoos after the first time they slept together because then they knew that their relationship was serious. Saul stood by Farah at Aster Dell when she turned against Rosalind. After the events of Aster Dell, Farah immediately made the decision to make Saul the headmaster of the Specialists. The May following Aster Dell, Farah became pregnant with Emaria.

Emaria Dowling
Though Farah loves her daughter very dearly, it can be a challenge to deal with her since Emaria is just as rebellious as both Farah and Saul were in their youths. Maybe even more so. Still, Farah only wants the best for her daughter and is trying to teach Emaria as much as she can. She's often hard on her daughter because she wants Emaria to be her best.

Farah, Saul, and Ben are all immensely close. They all served in Rosalind's battalion and all turned against her at Aster Dell when it was discovered that their leader had lied to them. Since then, they've all stuck together while teaching at Alfea, occasionally having drinks and reliving the good days of their past.

Luna of Solaria

Andreas of Eraklyon

Rosalind Hale

Luna of Solaria
Farah and Luna never seemed to get off on the right foot. Sometimes, they would seem to be good friends, and other times, they would be looking to rip the other's throat out with magic. Currently, they stand as the Queen of Solaria and the Headmistress of Alfea. Their relationship has especially been strained since Luna sent her daughter Stella to Alfea and is putting pressure on Farah to teach Stella control and power faster than Stella is ready for.

Andreas of Eraklyon
During their days in the battalion, Farah and Andreas rarely got along. It was very much a power struggle between the two, even though Rosalind clearly favored Farah for her strong magical abilities. Andreas wanted to be the alpha male, or at least woo Farah into being his girlfriend. Neither of those events actually happened, and it only made Andreas resent Farah more.

Rosalind Hale
When Rosalind first found Farah and began to train her, Farah was indebted to her. She listened to every word that came out of Rosalind's mouth like she was one of the Otherworld's gods, and it was like the woman was another mother to her. As Farah grew older, her reverence for Rosalind turned into respect and a bit of fear. While Farah was a student at Alfea, Rosalind pushed her to succeed, harder than any of the other students. By the time graduation came, Farah was ready to move on from the school, but Rosalind offered the younger the position of becoming her protégé, and Farah accepted. Later, Farah also became a member of Rosalind's battalion in the crusade against the Burned Ones. However, the events of Aster Dell damaged Farah's view of Rosalind irreparably. She trapped Rosalind in stasis in a prison barrier deep in Alfea's undercroft, and she despises the mention of her former mentor. When she became headmistress, she ordered everything containing Rosalind's name to be stricken from the school library and anywhere else it might be.

Farah doesn't masturbate often as she prefers a partner much more than going solo. If she doesn't have a partner, nine times out of ten, she won't indulge herself.

Farah completely adores oral sex. Having a partner go down on her is one of her favorite aspects of the bedroom. And she will gladly reciprocate on a partner, male or female.

As much as she loves oral, Farah isn't particularly fond of anal sex. She tried receiving it once, but she really didn't like it. She's never attempted to give it.

Farah doesn't mind impact play, but she wouldn't choose it first. She does enjoy some aspects of it though -- specifically hair pulling.

Farah loves toys, both using them and when they are used on her. She is particularly fond of vibrators, and she has a truck at the foot of her bed where she keeps her personal assortment of sex toys.

Farah's version of foreplay begins with simple touches of increasing intimacy. The hand, the wrist, the upper arm, the chest, the knee, sliding up the leg. This usually happens while she's subtly incorporating dirty talk into the conversation (despite seeming against it, Farah quite likes dirty talk with a partner). Sometimes, if she’s feeling particularly eager or seductive, she’ll skip to just casually groping her partner’s thigh to get her message across.

Literally the softest. Farah asks if her partner needs anything like a blanket, a snack, a drink, or simply cuddles. Whether she was dominant, submissive, or simply enjoying mutual intimacy, anything her partner needs, their wish is Farah's command.

It depends on the kind of day Farah had. Stressful or overwhelming, and she'll easily bend a partner over the nearest surface. This also happens when Luna visits Alfea. But sometimes she appreciates a slower pace where her partner can simply adore and worship her in bed. Generally, she usually has the stamina to go for a while, unless it's been a difficult or long day.

She loves to be either pinned helplessly under her partner (usually tied down) or riding them. In the woods or on her desk.

Romance. Farah doesn't often seduce, but when she does... watch out.

Usually, monogamy, but it doesn't matter. But the relationship has to be closed. Farah is possessive as fuck, easily gets jealous, and Does. Not. Like. To. Share.

Either big or little spoon

Somewhat Chaste

Farah can be, especially if she's on the submissive end of things. When she's dominant, she enjoys her partner being loud.

Farah isn't normally bratty at first. She's an obedient submissive to either males or females. It's when she gets comfortable in a relationship that she teases and provokes and pushes past limits. It usually surprises her partners.

Yes. As a dominant, Farah loves to tease her partner relentlessly. As a sub, she particularly loves to be teased as long as it isn’t for too long.

Other than Farah's scars, specifically the one on her leg, she is very confident about her body.

Not a virgin. Farah's had her fair share of dalliances.

Relatively high, but no one would ever guess it.

Farah has maintained her flexibility over the years since training at Alfea. She's still rather flexible.

Having sex in public... with some limits
Straight up fucking on her desk or against the door of her office.
Controlling a vibrator either inside or against her partner with her magic.
Being marked, as long as it is kept out of sight. Alfea's headmistress still has an image to maintain.
Using her mind/memory abilities to send images of herself into her partner's mind to make them want her.
Being bratty enough to push a dominant partner past their limit and then that partner proceeding to abruptly fuck Farah within an inch of her sanity.

Having a partner's hands in her hair (it absolutely melts her) or being praised

Bodily fluids (other than cum) or being scratched.

Mind fairy, air fairy, earth fairy, water fairy, fire fairy, and light fairy magics

Very. One of the most powerful fairies currently in the Otherworld, if not the most powerful. At least the most powerful mind fairy in centuries.

Farah doesn't have to move or speak to be able to cast her magic, though sometimes a muttered incantation does help. Especially with runic-based magic.

Mind fairy magic. Occasionally air fairy magic

No

Reading, books, tea, Saul Silva

Any kind of thunderstorms (triggering and reminds her of Aster Dell), crowds, paperwork, irritating students

She doesn't have much time for sit-down hobbies, but she does love a good book, particularly a romance read.

“This world isn’t safe. They’ve had order for so long, they don’t know what chaos feels like." – Farah to Saul

“When I became headmistress, I made a decision - to become a figurehead. To project strength. It’s what students your age need. Admitting mistakes invites uncertainty. But not admitting them means people you care about have to ask if you hug.” – Farah to Bloom

While teaching
• “Runaway fear leads to runaway magic.”
• “Distraction can cause magic to be erratic.”

• “Magic can be dangerous, as you well know.”
• “You focus, you learn, you grow. Eventually, the answers will come.”
• "To unlock true magic, you must make peace with all of your emotions. The reckless joy of the positive and the despair of the negative. There is beauty and power in both."

Making sure that her hair always looks immaculate. She has an overwhelming amount of hair supplies.

Her magic, making tea the proper way, reading other people's body language.

Farah believes in the Otherworld's gods.

"I have my faith in the gods of the Otherworld. Though as many times as I speak to them, I don't think they listen to me. Not with all that's happened since my youth. I believe that our choices cause the gods to look down on us with either favor or disdain. And… I suppose my poor choices are catching up to me now. The gods clearly do not favor me. I've committed too many wrongs in my life, and I don't have enough time to make them all right. And so now, I'm suffering the consequences." – Farah on her faith

Farah, as the headmistress of Alfea, has publicly declared her loyalty to the Solarian crown.

Right-handed

1. Words of affirmation


2. Acts of service


3. Physical touch


4. Giving gifts


5. Quality time

None

English

Yes. Quite well, actually. But no one in the entire Otherworld knows this fact.

Yes, but mainly ballroom dancing for formal social events. As the headmistress of Alfea, she holds parties for the school, and she also receives invitations to parties in the Solarian capital.

Farah can draw runes, but that's basically about it.

Farah learned how to swim as a child, but it's been so long since then, and she'd rather not attempt it.

No, absolutely not. It's the bane of her existence.

Yes, easily.

Yes, as much as it pains her to do so.
