Aalijah Bar-Zhoar

Aalijah Esin Bar-Zhoar is a character written and played by Myles. Born in Al-Kharid, Aalijah was the child of two minor merchants and traders. A part of the small Kharidian minority that worshiped Saradomin, Aalijah and her Family were often viewed as heretical outsiders and treated as such. Under the rule of Caliph Tristan, the violence between the Saradominist minority and the Khardian majority rose to a boiling point, with Aalijah and her Family alongside other Saradominists being forced to flee from the City. With only a few items to their name, they traveled the desert to only be prayed upon the Desert Tribes and bandits. Aalijah's Family was killed and herself sold into slavery. Her beginning years saw her fighting in the Pit against other slaves for the amusement of her owners. It was later on they saw the Allijah could read and write well alongside being a skilled fighter, she was sold to a Emir of Sophanem. Given a high level of freedom but still a slave, Aalijah serves the Emir's household and runs errands he needs.

Personality
In her youth, Aalijah was a soft spoken and charming child. Her parents taught her to love everyone equally no matter which God they praised or didn't praised. Through her life, she had attempted to keep those teachings true but often comes is forgotten to the heat of the moment. Beaten, starved and forced to fight for her life in the Pit it was only her faith that gave her hope to survive it all. Often claiming that Saradomin himself smiled down on her, the moderate girl that had been forced from her homeland had turned into a zealous warrior. She dreams for the day she can lead her people back to Al-Kharid, turn the Abbey of St. Elspeth into the largest Temple ever build to stand high above the Heretics of Al-Kharid.
