Further Information
Nadiya is a young woman (apparently about twenty) of mixed broader-Mediterranean descent, medium height and slight build, with traces of a New Jersey accent. She's frequently seen in jeans, hijab, and a cream leather jacket, although she's not averse to dressing up on occasion as long as it's something she can move in.
- 1962: Born in New Jersey to immigrant parents
- 1980: Mortal records stop (enters the Mountain)
- 1983: Becomes a ghoul
- 2000: Embraced
- 2011: Leaves the mountain with her sire, immediately after the Beckoning and before the main exodus
- 2012: Visits Trenton; lured somewhat out of her shell by Michael de Luca to discuss arcane issues
- ~2013-2016: Attends a few parties with [The Garden], but clearly would rather be home with her books; she tends to drift quietly to the edges while her sire mingles
- 2020: No longer traveling in the company of her sire; rumors vary as to the substance of the falling-out, or whether one even happened
- 2022: Moves to Boston
- 2023: Moves to Springfield
Nadiya Ibrahim is a young plant witch, out from under her sire’s wing for the first time after spending most of her adult life cloistered in the Mountain.
Much of her history is therefore not a secret from other Banu or those they talk openly with, but not common knowledge more generally.

Only a few years after arriving in the Mountain, Nadiya was claimed as a ghoul by an eighth-or-so generation sorcerer called Al-Hasida, "The Reaper". Somewhat of a political force in the Mountain, Al-Hasida chose only women to join her magic research cabal (primarily her descendants and ghouls but not entirely), and men were not allowed in her personal territory past the front parlors and weapons showrooms. Nadiya swiftly showed an aptitude for the Green Path, Al-Hasida's primary focus, and those who paid attention to other people's ghouls around the mid-90s might recall rumors that she was slated for the Embrace in another few decades, possibly by Al-Hasida herself or one of her childer. As it happened, however, she was Embraced shortly after the return of Ur-Shulgi by Yasmin bint Hafsa, Al-Hasida's great-grandchilde and a relatively new member of her entourage. A loremaster, a bit of a social butterfly, and an expert on magical geometry (but not a practitioner of Green Path), Yasmin was fairly active both in and out of the mountain from the late 19th century onward (ties welcome).
Ties sought:
- other Banu Haqim who might have known her during her time in the Mountain
- Camarilla (or others) she might have worked with since leaving- did you investigate something together? Did she help clean up a scene?
- She and her sire were dating, and recently broke up.
- No, they weren't dating, they were traveling together because she was secretly still under some Banu equivalent of Accounting.
- No, they were mutually blood bound, but in a platonic way.
- She only started wearing a hijab regularly after the split, clearly it was some kind of religious falling-out
- She bought ten identical jackets so she can switch them out whenever one gets destroyed.
- She has no problem with the Banu Haqim being in the Camarilla ... but she personally would rather be an Anarch.
- She's rather competitive with the Tremere blood mages. She doesn't hate them or anything ... she just knows she's better.
- Can't figure out how to work Tiktok
- Seriously though, has anyone actually ever seen her use Quietus?
- Has been seen on the arm of Danika "Dani" Astor
- Stole a first edition Paracelsus from Karl Devereaux in Malta
- No, it wasn't just the archivist, she snuck into the Chantry and snuck out with a book to prove she'd been there
- Wait, does Malta even have a chantry?
- No, it wasn't Paracelsus, it was something more sinister...
- Held her own against Nissim Melamed in Vampire Truth or Dare
- "I've regrettably only had the pleasure of meeting a few members of the Banu Haqim over the years, which makes it all the more unfortunate that my duty kept me from speaking at length with such an interesting member of her clan during her visit to New York City. Despite that, Ms. Ibrahim's willingness to risk her existence and go into battle against the Infernal in a city that is not her own is commendable. Fighting alongside her told me more about the kind of Kindred she may be than an evening of conversation ever could. Now that we’ve been properly introduced, I’m looking forward to getting to know her better when I visit Springfield." - Danika "Dani" Astor, April 2023
- "Nadiya Ibrahim is brave, resourceful, composed, and... a 'friend of a friend,' I'll say. All are points in her favor, but she proves more interesting on a regular basis. She represents everything an up and coming Neonate should be, and I'm looking forward to watching her ascent." - Yarrow Yoon
