Personality: Despite her life situation, Khadashee has unquestionable loyalty to those who prove their worth. Always carrying herself with grace, poise and dignity. There are times when to others this confidence comes off as haute in stature, most times she really doesn’t care what people think about. However, she has found it a necessary skill to be able to quickly dispel such first impressions. Normally the epitome of calmness, Khadashee rarely raises her voice. Her naturally friendly nature and easy spirit always seems to have a quiet calming poise about her. However, to take her kindness for weakness would be fool-hearty, for if she crossed or if her loves ones are hurt, despite her forgiving heart, Khadashee can be ruthless in her desires for revenge. And when her eyes glow green fire, all hell is about to break loose. Her temper (if she looses it) is fierce, cold and calculating. However since taught to always be on guard, her temper is something few get to see. Her husband Bakari is one of the few who has seen the savage beast. Hence why only her husband Bakari is the one who can soothe it. Having worked hard to survive, Khadashee is a fierce fighter and her sense of duty is strong…sometimes to a fault. Life has pushed out all sense of fear. She has a strong spirit and determined heart. She is cunning, manipulative when it suits her purposes, observant and very, very patience. She has the ability to simply wait and watch for hours when she needs to. A sharp tongue, with an even sharper wit, she can be hot-headed, stubborn, and determined, cocky and quite arrogant. Khadashee is well read and can retain much of what she reads. She is a quick study and is proficient in sewing[which not many know because she does it for pleasure or when she is stress]. Her attitude the product of a life full of betrayal. Life teaching her that in the long run power and defense are the only things that really matters.


Any special skills: Though adept in some hand to hand combat, Khadashee is more proficient with the two Swiss army knives she always has with her.





Khadashee happy only daughter of Dr. De’Sean and Dr. Khadijah Tamu, scholars in Geology and Agriculture respectively. Originally transplants from the United States who came to Haiti to help deal with the growing issue of soil erosion and desertification but decided to stay in and in invest in the poor nation’s real estate market.

Close friends the Haitian Prime Minister, both men had dreams that their children would wed. Khadashee grew up learning all the things that would prepare her for life as a diplomat’s wife. Schooled in all things that a governing body should be schooled in--diplomacy, foreign relations, strategy and tactics, war and command, charm and grace, languages both spoken and dead, her father was proud of that fact that he was she would make a fine wife, despite the tenderness of her age and her independent spirit.

Yet it was not to be. When she was just sixteen years old, both her parents died in Tropical Storm Jeanne. Now orphaned, Khadashee was left to fend for herself. Working odd jobs to survive, using her natural charm to garner strange friendships and even stranger alliances in order to live, survive and thrive.

However a chance meeting with a New York City Fireman volunteering in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake would come to change her life. After an unexpected courtship to someone she thought she hated upon first meeting, Khadashee found herself married, pregnant and on a plane to America to meet the family of her new husband.

Nothing could have ever prepared either him or her for the carnage they would find.
