hello  everyone !  i’m  frankie  ( or  francheska )  and  i’m  SO  thrilled  to  be  a  part  of  growhq.  this  is  my  semi  new  baby  /  love  of  my  life ,  ashraf  &  i’m  hoping ,  y’all  love  him  as  much  as  i  do.  although  i’ve  just  recently  put  him  together ,  not  too  long  ago ,  i’m  eager  to  write  him  out.  i  am  absolutely  terrible  when  it  comes  to  describing  my  characters  but  i’ll  try  my  very  best.  he  means  well  though !  don’t  really  know  what  else  to  say  about  myself  but  if  you’d  like  to  plot  /  even  chat ,  my  d*scord  is :  farrokh bulsara#7928 .  i’m  still  trying  to  get  the  hang  of  it ,  but  please  feel  free  to  add  me  on  there.  please  love  us  &  thank  you  for  taking  the  time  in  reading  this  pretty  lame  introduction.  ♡

ashraf was born in 1982 on a cool, mild winter night in alexandria, egypt. his parents, bassam and virina, were delighted to have started a family by welcoming their first-born in their motherland. when he was an infant, the boutros family emigrated to the united states :  brooklyn, new york, to be exact. ash is a PROUD egyptian, fluent in arabic and was recently granted american citizenship.

“there’s no first-generation, or second-generation removed. i am egyptian.” rami malek, 2018  (  tell  ‘em ,  rami  or  ash !  )

throughout his life, ashraf was raised to be a devout coptic christian and still tries to be to this day. however, he rarely goes to church as he occasionally tags along with his family whenever he’s back in brooklyn on certain holidays. he isn’t obligated but is expected to go  …  and does since he’s one (1) blessed man, avoids getting on his parents’ bad side.

he doesn’t take off the ring that was given to him by his mother, ever. well, if he does, you’ll find him wearing it on a chain around his neck.

growing up in brooklyn was memorable. he had a good group of friends ( they went to college together ) shockingly enough, but due to their lives becoming hectic, they lost contact with each other.  *whispers*  he needs friends.

he graduated from high school and university with a bachelor’s degree: majoring in art, art history, archeology, and museum studies. he did everything he could to be able to work with a museum’s board of directors. in order to earn his bachelor’s, ashraf had to complete volunteer work at any of the fine arts museums of maine — anywhere that he could — to get first-hand experience.

at around 27 years old, he decided to go up east to portland, maine. he would have stopped in massachusetts but after visiting portland one time during college with his friends ( road-tripping ), ashraf decided to come back since he fell in love with the city. he had a hard time picturing himself someplace else.

he discovered his appreciation and love for art since he was in middle school in brooklyn. although his parents thought it was a rare career choice since they had wanted him to become a doctor instead, they supported him no matter what.

i’m shit at describing a character’s personality, and thank god the app didn’t include them when i applied, so i’m pretty open-minded about ash. just a heads up !

but  getting  him  out  of  the  house  will  be  a  task ,  because  1)  he’s  a  bit  introverted  and  2)  a  damn  workaholic.

“I’m in love with him,” he says. “To the end of his life, Freddie lived completely in the moment and never got boxed into any particular label, which I so respect. People constantly tried to pin him down as this type or that, but he’d always say, ‘I’m just being me.’ Freddie being Freddie will forever be an inspiration to all of us.”
