Biography
Salom! I'm Umid Zumradov. I'll relate my story to you. My father was the son of a merchant in Khorasan and inherited a fortune, but soon squandered it. One day, he saw a beautiful slave girl, Zumurrud, at the market teasing the men who tried to purchase her. Ali Shar decided to buy her. Zumurrud helped Ali Shar gain a lot of money by making curtains for him to sell, but one day, she sold them to Barsum, the brother of one of the men who wanted to buy Zumurrud. He kidnapped her and imprisoned her in his harem. Zumurrud escaped from Barsum's harem and disguuised herself as a male soldier. She soon arrived in a city where there was a tradition that after the king dies, the first stranger to arrive at the gate is to be the new king. She thus became king of her own kingdom. She caught the men who tried to buy and kidnap her and had them executed. Ali Shar eventually came to the city, and Zumurrud revealed herself to him and took him as her husband.

And, to complete my parents' joy, they have three children. First are my two sisters, Shahnoza and Gulchekhra, and then last is me. I like being the only boy because I'm heir to my mother's kingdom. Our palace is located not far from Bukhara in the dry deserts of Uzbekistan. It's quite far from the sea.

My expertise lies in sewing. I am very skilled at sewing, and I love making curtains. It's fun working with all the beautiful cloths with ornate patterns. I learned sewing from my mother, whom I'm very close with. I've been selected to be the next Zumurrud, which is why I'm going to Ever After High.

School is treating me well. There's all sorts of people here, and I like the variety. The climate takes a bit of getting used to, since it's a lot wetter here than back home. I don't mind at all, though. There's lots of good food in the cafeteria as well.

Like everyone, there's problems I face in life. I have a bit of a strained relationship with my dad due to my love of sewing. He's always been concerned about me doing what he calls "women's work" and is afraid that I'm going to get teased. I keep reassuring him that no one here teases me about it. He always tries to talk me out of it. It took him a long time to accept the fact that I don't like sports, but he still doesn't like it when I sew.

I also tend to fidget a lot. I was diagnosed with autism when I was little. I take medications to help ease the stimming, but it can be hard to manage. Sometimes I carry fidget spinners around and play with them. Unfortunately, some of the teachers don't like them, so they often get confiscated. I always get them back at the end of class.

How do I feel about my destiny? It's both good and bad. I'll probably end up getting sold, but at least I'll get to be proactive. I'll get to plan my own escapes and travel to faraway cities. There's some kind of destiny conflict here, which seems to be a big issue. I personally don't want any part in it.

Trivia

 * Umid's surname is derived from the Uzbek word for emerald, zumrad. (Zumurrud's name means emerald.)
