[VIDEO]; @fatima
[Fatima's life dictates that she has to carefully manage and regulate her appearance. It's a bit of a neurosis, really. She's had to dedicate much of the last few years to proving that she's every bit as capable and mature as a bunch of vampires who have seen more than a few centuries. The mortal girl is not going to sit at the kiddie table, thank you very much. Which means not looking like a kiddie.
She wears a lot of make up. Like, a lot. It's well done and attractive, certainly. But noticeably an inch thick. Her hair is pulled back in a braid today, draping over her left shoulder. But what really completes the "I'm not a child" look is the attitude. It's her carefully schooled expression, just the right amount of jaded blase, as if to say "I've seen too much to ever be wide-eyed again."
It's her first network post. She figures first impressions matter. Although this is not how she imagined greeting the network.]
Hey, Fatima Merali here.
[She's got a thick, West Coast accent. She even says her name in a disgustingly Americanized way.]
Los Angeles, 2009, for any of you keeping track of that kind of thing.
Listen. Has anyone seen or heard from Ray Palmer lately? It's like he just vanished.

And some assholes killed a bunch of people in the name of said religion.
Ergo, they assume I'm an asshole.

Sounds like what Christians think of us Vikings. Barbarians that want nothing but to raid and kill. Of course, we fairly earned the reputation we got.

Unfortunately, that same prejudice carried over to my time.

It's people who...don't.
[Also, who has robots? She wants robots.]
