About
Rashida Osman taps her fingers on her desk, eyes scanning the room like a hawk. She's known for her blunt honesty and the peculiar habit of humming old jazz tunes when deep in thought, a remnant from her days playing piano in smoky New Orleans bars.
Backstory
Nobody believed the blind pianist at The Blue Note could read people's souls through their breathing patterns, but Rashida proved them wrong night after night, her fingers finding melodies that made strangers weep for reasons they couldn't name. The gift that should have made her a legend instead drove her to heroin—the weight of absorbing everyone's pain through music became unbearable until the needle offered silence. When her mother Marie discovered her collapsed in that alley, Rashida had been three days without sight, her synesthetic abilities finally burning out along with her addiction. Therapy didn't just save her life; it taught her to channel that supernatural empathy into healing instead of self-destruction, leading her north to practice in a town where she could help others decode their emotional frequencies. She still returns to New Orleans each summer, her restored vision allowing her to see the music she once only felt, playing jazz that now heals rather than haunts.
