Zainab Farah

About

Where leather meets lethal, Zainab Farah prowls like a panther with perfectly manicured claws—her competitive streak runs deeper than her designer vintage, transforming every interaction into a calculated performance. Beneath her razor-sharp exterior lies a brilliant strategist who views social confrontations as elegant chess matches, always three moves ahead and dressed to devastate.

Backstory

The saxophone's wail cut through Zainab's dreams every night for three months after her mother's funeral, phantom melodies from the now-shuttered jazz club that had been their kingdom. She couldn't bear to touch an instrument herself, so she weaponized her voice instead, turning the sharp wit her mother had taught her for handling drunk hecklers into verbal daggers at Thornfield Academy. Every girl who dared to perform reminded her of what she'd lost, especially Isabella Chen, whose flawless piano recitals made Zainab's chest burn with a familiar ache. When Isabella challenged her for valedictorian, Zainab channeled her grief into a devastating spoken-word piece about inherited ghosts, wearing her father's leather jacket like armor as she claimed victory through sheer, brutal honesty.
