Biography
Merhaba! My name is Mustafa Korku. My father is the boy who found fear at last. Well, he was - he hasn't been a boy in many years! I'll tell you a bit about Dad. One day, when Dad was young, his mother asked him to shut the door during a storm because she was afraid. Dad did not understand what fear was. He set out to find the fear. Dad saw many things over the years and never found fear - until he came to a city where the king had died without an heir, thus ending the royal dynasty. A pigeon perched on Dad, which meant that he was to be the next king. He had a vision about being king, and he was terrified. Dad decided to become the new king.

Once Dad was crowned king, he went to find his mother and brought her over to live with him. Two years later, Dad found a beautiful woman who really loved him, and he took her as his wife. First, they had three daughters, my sisters Inci, Keriman, and Zubeyde. Then they had me. I love my parents, my grandmother, and my older sisters very much.

I'm not that popular at Ever After High. It's because I'm autistic - I'm socially awkward and sometimes I do rather weird movements. But I do have a few friends. I have a roommate named Milan, who gets along with me well. I'm also friends with Orhan Sessiz, who is also Turkish. We get along well and play together a lot. Now he is part of my family since his brother Celal married my sister Inci (the two dated when they were at Ever After High). I even scored an autistic girlfriend, Isabel Habil. At first our parents were unsure of it since our cultures are very different, but they accepted it eventually.

I try every day to understand my fears, because I really want to know what's causing me to be afraid so much. I get scared a lot, though I don't know why. Sometimes I think it's from being afraid of being rejected, but it could be something else. I'm pretty philosophical about my fears, though. Despite this, normally I'm pretty happy, and I go outdoors frequently - fresh air does me good.

I consider myself a Royal since I really want to understand what fear is - I feel like I don't understand that well.

Trivia

 * Mustafa has a pet - a male pigeon named Aydin, which is a Turkish name meaning "enlightened" and is pronounced IE-din, not AY-den. Aydin was named after Mustafa's paternal grandfather. Mustafa often uses Aydin for performing - Aydin can do backflips.
 * Mustafa is allergic to pecans, hazelnuts, and macadamias. Pecans trigger the worst reactions.
