( yandeh sallah. cis-woman. she/her. ) did you hear ? FATIMA "TIMA" BAH is stuck in stonehaven for the for the foreseeable future … they've lived here for TWENTY-THREE YEARS and are known around town as THE ICE QUEEN, though back in high school they were better known for being voted MOST LIKELY TO WIN A STARING CONTEST. if i'm not mistaken, they’re a TWENTY-THREE year old senior studying THEATRE ARTS ( i really hope that translates well into their role as a/an DEFENSE in the ‘new world' ). according to my records they were originally on the trip because she wanted to genuinely volunteer but also see her older brother— which checks out, given they’re WELL-ROUNDED, STERN and NARROW-MINDED. if you’re ever trying to find them, your best bet is to start at neon cactus saloon and listen for someone humming pacer by doechii. oh, and don’t forget to try calling out tima or picturing the principal's office, a soft yet commanding tone, eco-friendly fur, a daddy's girl, and the battle between girlhood and godhood. for extra help. let's hope the chaos doesn't get to them …

THE ORIGIN STORY.
Tima was born and raised in Stonehaven by a Black mother and West-African father, along with her two older brothers.
Tima's mother was a prominent figure in the community, her family had a long lineage of being Stonehaven residents and providing for the long time residents and new coming residents as apart of the town hall.
It was obvious when growing up, that Tima’s mother was essentially the bread winner while her father had taken the prominent role of taking all three children outside the house and pushing them and strengthening their relationship within the outdoor nature as well as involving them in physical activities like with Brazilian Jiu-Jistu, for example. All this from a young age.
It wasn’t like she was the only feminine presence in the household, but with her mother always having meetings with the town hall, Tima had to always spend time within the male presence that surrounded her, which essentially made her closer and used to her father’s presence rather than her mother’s.
So Tima was getting down with her brothers, play fighting them— kicking their ass, really.
She would always win petty arguments and have her father on her side, every time while her mother had her brothers.
Her mother wasn’t as affectionate as her father was, which played into the way she grew up with her emotions.
But with the expectations of their parents, it’s usually the older sibling who the youngest sibling has to look up to. But in Tima’s case, she had to be the one to carry her family within her come up in her education and outside of her education.
Tima’s older brothers did not amount to what their parents wanted of them.
Giving up on the two oldest, Tima’s parents seemingly prioritized her and saw her older brothers as lost causes through their actions. They didn’t even see themselves going to college, having a career, at least not an ideal one to them.
TW MENTION OF DRUGS AND MENTAL ILLNESS Her older brother, Lamin moved out of Stonehaven while her other older brother, Omar was making wrong life decisions like the circle he associated himself with. Getting wrapped up into drugs, leading to his homelessness and diagnosis with schizophrenia, all while Tima is at college but unbeknownst to her parents, switching her major from psychology to theatre arts.
Though, despite the strain relationship her brothers have with the family, she didn’t cut times with them. Omar ends up in a shelter while she still attends college and still supports him, she’s the reason he’s in the shelter and is able to have his mental illness diagnosis.
It’s not a new revelation that Tima does community service, but this particular community service for the school trip involved her brother, and she had to secure her spot, without a doubt. But she has now secured her spot in a new world that differs from her old one, still very much finding herself resorting to ways she would in the past even when it’s not needed, like for her need to be in control.
