[dash=#348AE0]
Rakhshan El - Sayed راخشان ش - سيد
19
Male
Prince of Saudi Arabia أمير السعودية جزيره العرب
[/dash]
Appearance
Rakhshan is a tall young man standing at 6'0" and weighing 175 lbs. He has light brown eyes that appear almost golden, and he has smooth pitch black hair that he cuts short. His eyebrows are thick and he has long lashes. Rakhshan prefers to go neatly shaven, and has facial hair. He normally wears a red and white checked Keffiyeh.
Personality
Quite the
charmer, Rakhshan knows what to say to get what he wants. Some might call him
manipulative, but he'd describe himself as
strategic and
resourceful. He is a
friendly guy who likes to be surrounded by good friends, whilst looking on the bright side of life. He's a
lover not a fighter and often attempts to find ways to mediate without involving needless violence and harsh words.
That being said, Rakshan knows of his role as a prince but he spends most of his time
goofing off and running wild with his friends. In the face of his mother and father however, he is quite
serious and
calm, almost as if he is a different person.

Brief History ░
Rakhshan wasn't supposed to be the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. His mother was the fourth wife of the King of Saudi Arabia, and so Rakhshan was always destined to be an esteemed business owner at most. His father's first wife had given him twin boys, while his second and third wife had given him daughters. This never bothered or concerned, Rakhshan because as the youngest child, he was usually overlooked and left to his own devices which he enjoyed. However, his mother was constantly irked by his lower status and she believed that her son deserved to be crown prince rather than one of the twins.
Her fierce desire to see her son on the throne overthrew her rational thinking, and Rakhshan's mother set fire to the twin's sleeping quarters a week before Rakshan's ninth birthday. The twins and their mother who had tried to save them, perished that night, and although he was enveloped in grief, the King of Saudi Arabia had to name Rakhshan as the next heir.
The next few years of Rakhshan's life were unhappy ones as he had to learn royal etiquette while attending public events constantly. His father who worried that his son might be killed next, hired numerous bodyguards to watch over the boy and so Rakhshan grew up to a smothered lifestyle where he was watched like a hawk.
When it came time for him to go to the Prestigious Academy, Rakhshan was overjoyed at being able to spend a few years relatively unattended and scrutinized.

Inyoni Motala
17
Female
Princess of South Africa
[/dash]
Appearance
Inyoni is a medium height girl standing at 5'7" and weighing 160 lbs. She is a bit curvy and relatively plump in the hip area, but that doesn't bother her. She has shiny brown bouncy curls, that she let's hang loose around her shoulders and beautifully dark brown eyes couple with thick lashes.
Personality
If there was a crisis and every student had to be evacuated from the room, Inyoni would be that forgotten kid. She is incredibly
shy and tries her very best to melt into the shadows and stay there. She's pretty
skittish and often stumbles and stutters over her words no matter how many times she's practice them in her head. When caught off guard she resembles a paralyzed rabbit or a deer in headlights. However she only acts that way with the public and people she doesn't know.
When she's with her friends, Inyoni is very
sweet, reassuring and generous. She loves to cheer people up and encourage them to achieve their goals. She can be quite inspiring in small groups, but as soon as the spotlight is placed on her, sounds akin to squeaks and whimpers fall from her mouth.
When she's with her family, Inyoni is
loud, talkative and witty. She cracks jokes constantly and roughhouses with her brothers much to her mother's dismay. She also goes hunting with her father, and that's where her silent persona works best, as she is great at tracking and creeping up on her prey.

Brief History ░
Inyoni was her parents miracle child. Her mother and father had had three boys already and after the last boy her mother was told that she would not be able to have kids and in a show of solidarity to her, Inyoni's father got a vasectomy. However after one night of spontaneous love making (turns out the vasectomy failed!) Inyoni's mother got pregnant and they had her. Inyoni's parents doted on her and treated her like a precious gem, although they didn't neglect the boys, they tended to keep Inyoni close. This backfired on them seven years later when Inyoni was introduced to the public for the first time and she vomitted from anxiety and could only manage a painfully stuttered, "Hi."
Despite her extreme anxiety, Inyoni's parents didn't love her less and tried to cure her of it but to no avail. In private Inyoni was a loudmouth and wild but outside she was like a quivering statue. Originally they didn't want to sent Inyoni to the Academy because of her intense anxiety, but after awhile they decided it might good for her and might cure her of her disability.
