Amina Saada

About

Sharp as a blade and fiercely articulate, Amina Saada wields her words like weapons in the literary battlefield of life. With her late grandmother's voice echoing in her mind, she crafts biting remarks that leave no room for sentimentality. Her passion for storytelling is rivaled only by her competitive spirit, making her both an enchanting ally and a formidable opponent.

Backstory

Three typewriters sat broken on Amina's desk the night she discovered her grandmother's secret literary salon had been systematically destroying rival writers' careers for decades. The leather-bound ledger hidden beneath floorboards revealed names, weaknesses, and calculated takedowns—a legacy of literary warfare passed down through generations of Saada women who had shaped New Orleans' underground writing scene from the shadows. When the final entry bore Amina's own name with the words "next heir to the throne," she packed that antique typewriter and fled to Tokyo, where neon lights couldn't illuminate the dark inheritance now flowing through her veins. Her grandmother's voice whispers tactical advice as she crafts each cutting sentence, but Amina wonders if she's honoring a legacy or perpetuating a curse that transforms every story into a battle and every writer into prey.
