A'isha Conway: She who lives. A curious combination, with her first name from the Arab speaking world and her last from the British Empire, like her name A'isha was more than an interesting person. On a research expedition to Egypt, Sir Owen Conway made the discovery of his life, a young Egyptian woman by the name of Amira Nejem. Within the two months of his visit to the sandy country, Sir Owen had fallen for his devilishly charming Arab mistress. Not but a week before he was due to depart the country he wed Amira and convinced her to accompany him back to England. A year into their relationship Amira bore a baby girl whom she gave the name A'isha.
All her life Amira had heard tales of the darkness that had once consumed her homeland, tales that told of twins separated at a young age to prevent their sacrifice, however in evading the sacrifice many were led to believe the evil would come to no end, do to the prophecies that foretold of twin girls being sacrificed on the third summer of the darknesss reign. Amira, upon holding her daughter for the first time was overcome with an uncanny sense of familiarity between herself, the child, and the old folktales. It is because of this that Amira bestowed the child with the name A'isha, meaning she who lives.
Though A'isha was an only child Amira's sister also gave birth to a baby girl on the same night. Nadeah, stricken also with the familiarity between her daughter and the old stories named her child Aamina, meaning safe, safety. Together the two children were, she who lives in safety, which by the old tales fit the prophecy's description of the twins who were to be sacrificed. With this in their superstitions the sisters vowed to never allow the girls to meet.
Unfortunately when A'isha was four her mother was killed in a car crash, her father sustained serious leg injuries but recovered within the year, while A'isha herself had emerged unscathed. Heavy with grief Sir Owen made the decision to move what was left of their family to America were he became a renowned historian and author. A'isha, after fishing the sixth grade and entering middle school was left to her own devices the majority of the time as her father was constantly away on business. Due to this A'isha had more freedom than any of her friends and was constantly on the look for new ways to entertain herself. Through this freedom A'isha developed into a very adventurous, spunky, however shockingly quiet teenager.
