Biography
Greetings. I'm Karim Kisamata, the son of Kupti.

My mother was the older daughter of a king. She was asked if she was satisfied to leave her life and fortune in her father's hands, and she said yes. Her sister Imani said otherwise. Imani was sent to live with an old fakir, where she made money by making cloth. Mom was one of her customers. When their father was going on a trip to the kingdom of Dur, Mom and her sister were asked what they wanted. Mom wanted a ruby necklace, which she received. Later, Mom heard that Imani was getting visits from the king of Dur, she became jealous. She paid a visit, and while no one was looking, covered the king's bed with poisoned glass. Her trick had poisoned the king.

Mom eventually found a prince from some small kingdom to marry, and that's where they had me. I am an only child. I have a cousin named Irfan, who is two months younger than me. Me and Irfan are pretty close, even though we're as different as day and night. We live in different kingdoms, so we aren't rooming together. It's also because our mothers don't get along that well.

I am skilled in chemistry, and I love working with poisons. I would love to make all sorts of potions, though I wouldn't want to use any for poisoning people. I'm also good at glassmaking, and I've made lots of glass sculptures for the school art shows. I'm also really good at chess and I'm a member of the chess club.

I am quite nerdy, and I love studying. Irfan, on the other hand, hates studying and finds it boring. He often forgets to study. I think studying is quite rewarding because you get good grades. Irfan prefers to goof off and hang with his friends. My girlfriend Ismene is also quite the intellectual, and we enjoy studying together. Ismene has a cousin that goes here too, but unfortunately Ismene and her cousin can't stand each other due to sharing nothing in common.

I'm a Rebel - I'd rather stand by Irfan's side instead of getting jealous.
