Biography
Childhood
Sooraya grew up in a nomadic Afghani clan, her small family part of the group along with several other families of varying sizes. She was an only child, though there were a few other children near her age as she was growing up. The clan traveled using camels and horses over the Afghani plains and mountains, never staying in one place for long.
When Sooraya was eight her father was killed during a dangerous mountain crossing. His normally surefooted horse slipped while crossing a ridge and threw its rider onto the jagged rocks below. Though she was now a single woman, Sooraya's mother Mirah was still welcome in the group, and they continued to travel, finding the best places possible to graze their goats and sheep.
As Sooraya grew older, the threat of rebel groups and slave traders grew more and more intense. The clan managed to avoid the worst of the raids, though every year found them losing a few animals to the raiders. Then, when Sooraya was fourteen, a particularly vicious group of traders raided their camp, taking only the young, able-bodied girls and boys and leaving the older nomads behind. One by one they sold off the children, though they kept Sooraya to tend their camp and prepare their food. Because of her nomadic lifestyle and the less-than-organized ways of the traders, Sooraya has never directly come into contact with either the Taliban or the new government and its laws. She is aware of them, of course, but since so much of her time was spent away from the cities, she had very little firsthand experience with them.

Powers
Sooraya's mutation is the ability to turn her body into a cloud of sand and control the direction/velocity of this cloud, as well as reforming at will. As of her time entering the game she has only just begun to manifest the mutation, and she is still learning to control the various aspects of it. When she gains control over the mutation, it is possible she could do damage with it (much like having the person she attacks stand unshielded in a severe sandstorm), as well as using it for infiltration/stealth purposes.
Another noteworthy aspect of her mutation is that it only affects Sooraya herself – not the clothes she is wearing or anything else she is touching. She is 'naked' for the time she spends in sand-form, and must reform herself in her clothes to reappear clothed.
