Faihan Helal
• His name was Badr al-Asrar Hasan. • He mostly looked the same, BUT he was 5'10" instead of 5'8", his eyes were hazel (gold at the center and green at the edges), and his hair was longer and curlier. • IIRC, he and Jomana were brother and sister in the last life, too. (He was Chosen of Song; she was Chosen of Dragon.) • The Chosen of Song was a holy role; in Simurgh's culture, he was a religious figure in charge of various ceremonies. But...it was a role most commonly attributed to women, and he was generally regarded as frail and in constant need of care...an image only perpetuated by the fact he was a sickly child for the first five years of his life. • He dreamed of being a famous hero and was obsessed with the Light, which later turned into an infatuation with the Chosen of Light. ("Do I want him, or do I want to be him?") • Also super proud of his badass Dragoon sister (though also extremely envious) for that reason. • He was much softer than present day Faihan, but still with a bit of edge. He could be brash and had a tendency towards honesty, especially in situations where diplomacy would be the better choice. • He didn't hide behind his sister in school, but it took him a while to feel comfortable with his peers and to actually talk to people; he initially came off as standoffish, even arrogant.
