La Petite Princesse: Hala Amir

Hala Amir
Daughter of the Prince
Parent's Story: Le Petit Prince
Roommate: Massak
Secret Heart's Desire: There's so much I don't understand about this universe. I want to understand this world and why things are why the are.
My "Magic" Touch: I can see things in a different light, in a different perspective, that most folks wouldn't even imagine of.
Storybook Romance Status: I'm currently seeing Akito Takenaka. We share an odd connection that I've come to recognize as "love". It's... nice.
"Oh Curses!" Moment: I said before I see things differently. It's sort of bad here, though, since this culture is so confusing and people can't understand me, nor can I understand them.
Favorite Subject: Astronomy. I love space, the cosmos, anything beyond this atmosphere.
Least Favorite Subject: Princessology/Damsel-in-Distressing. I'm not really a princess, am I?
Best Friends Forever After: Why should one friend be more special than the others? I like all my friends.

When I first spawned Hala in the back of my mind, laying awake one night, I knew who she would be right away. An oddball, a stranger, a fish out of water. She's spacey and never lets go of a question until you give her an answer; she's very curious and asks questions that are simple and obvious, but they're so obvious that no one thinks to question them.
Hala believes in happiness for everyone, but she doesn't understand anyone on this planet. Adults are confusing. Teenagers are weird. She can really only get along well with children. But just because she has a childlike mind, don't mistake her as being dumb or immature. She just has a different mind with an imagination that has no limits. She remains unaligned, bewildered by this turn of events but disliking all the bad blood and fighting.

Because the little prince, her father, dies on the one-year anniversary arriving on Earth and on his eighth day spent with the narrator, I wondered how she would come into existence. Then my lovely friend Tsukiko-koe and I devised this: the narrator (I'll call him Antoine for the author) asked about a little man with gold hair that asked a lot of questions for six years after his encounter. He continued scouring the desert, going as far north as Anatolia and as far west as Iraq. The narrator's calls were answered. But it was not a little man that fit the description a woman directed him to, but a child, found in Sudan. The spirit of the little prince was captured in a little child who appeared out of nowhere.
No one understood the child who asked so many questions, who rebuked the concept of religion and instead questioned the sky and stars and why things were the way they were. No one could satisfy the child, until the narrator of the previous story of Le Petit Prince turned up. A strange, bedraggled looking man came one day and the child was easily attracted to he who could answer all their questions and more. He didn't tell the child to stop or give them a quick answer to get them off his back; instead he engaged the little one and didn't tire from all the inquiries he faced from them.
He asked to take the child with him, to tell them about the world and who they used to be. The child had no parents to speak of and they were under the care of a woman in the village who didn't know what to do with them. The village gave him their blessing to give the child a proper home and thus the little one traveled the land with the narrator.

Hala's first name means "halo around the moon" in Arabic and her surname is a popular one that means "prince" or "commander" in Arabic. 70 percent of Sudan's population is made up of Sudanese Arabs, an Afro-Arab ethnic group, so obviously she's one of them. She isn't Muslim (religion makes no sense to her, having seen the cosmos in her past lives, and generally not understanding the cultures of any land on this earth) but still wears the layers that she saw in her short time spent in the mostly-Muslim village.

Finally, her outfit is very simple. She draws from the various cultures of countries found in the Sahara, alongside Anatolia or "Asian Turkey", which is framed by three seas, one of them being the Mediterranean that faces the Sahara. A galaxy print top with lots of layers, harem pants, a jacket, scarf, and slippers with Anatolian themes, and cosmic accessories make her outfit simple, tasteful, and fashionable all at once.
