Profile
Farah Newman is many things to just a few people - lover, forensic scientist, family, insanely obsessive, hopeless romantic, and someone who has defied all the odds for survival. Farah is a graduate of King's College London, with a master's in Forensic Science and a member of TDA, a Britain detective office. For the TDA, Farah is a obsessive compulsive hoarder, cleaner, and one of the few members with a actual college degree. Farah is a extremely shy, confused woman; although graduated from a prestigious college with a degree, Farah sometimes acts more like a young teenager based on clarity and her own fears and doubts that rage psychological warfare on her. Sometimes she can come up with the most unrealistic ideas and sometimes she is off in her own fantasy-induced day-dream. After her time and after many things involving the TDA, Farah is not who she used to be anymore, but neither is she truly that changed. Left with the choice and the decision to go join the Sun in Japan or stay at home with the TDA, Farah closed her eyes and realized, that maybe, it was okay to give into her fears and find out ... so now Farah heads out to Japan, to find the answers to her questions, and to see if what she had before is truly still keep-able.

History
A Child in Hell
Farah was born July 7th 1984 to British doctor Benjamin and stay at home Arabic wife Almira. Their first and only child, Almira was claimed by ovary cancer. For six years, the trio led a quiet, calm, life... that changed when Farah entered first grade at the age of six. Then mother and daughter learned that Benjamin was much more than he was - he physically and emotionally abused mother and daugher over his rage at just having a daughter rather than a son - a revelation Farah was never supposed to hear.
This continued for six ears, Farah withdrawing more and more from reality, heart aching over What Ifs' about life as a boy, as the second child to a brother... not that it ever helped. The only thing that did was her drawing... her realities, where daddy couldn't find her, where Almira couldn't reach her. Eventually, however, Almira had it.
Banking out all the cash in their bank account, Farah and Almira fleed, and hid. Unable to find them, Benjamin would take revenge - by suicidial walking off a ten story garage.
A Recovering Teenager
So, life was set. Farah went to school, and Almira worked a small, under the table job. There was a trust fund set up for Farah by her fathers' insurance, but nothing until she was 21 - not that Farah wanted it. However, Farahs' grades in school were terrible, and she was terrified of any male at that point. Almira opted to pull her out, and she was homeschooled for the rest of her school years until her senior year, when she played the Persona game with some of her friends. She graduated high school in 2001.
College Fun
Almira died her freshman year at college, shortly before the hundread thousand dollers in the trust fund opened up to her. Farah didn't know what to do, so she just took some extra classes while trying to figure out what job she really did want to do - eventually landing in forensic science. She graduated into the Master's Program in 2005, and graduated with her Master's Degree in the fall of 2007. Farah went without a job for the next couple of months, until she heard about a opening at the Twilight Detective Agency...
Years of Perfection
Walking in for the interview, Farah nearly walked out. Alex she could deal with - calm, collected, quiet. Tom Magnusson, however, scared her. Daddy all over again. However. She had dealt with it. She could continue to do so, right? Thus, in the holiday season of 2007, she joined the team at TDA!
Tom would ask her out on a date a month or so later. Farah agreed. They have been dating since.
A Revelation, and a Realization
A year since her time, Farah was on a walk around Christmas-time of 2008. Farah didn't have a care in the world - until Tom shouted to watch out, and she was violently shoved away as a chained knife thrust past her right where she was standing. Battle on, right? Wrong. Farah didn't have any idea what to do. She tried, though. She tried - and paid for it. Scars all across her body. Tendons cut in her knees, muscles sore. Then she finally took what should have been a lethal shot after Tom was knocked unconcious ... except there was help.
Ophelia hovered over Farah, casting a Dia-based spell on the woman. Farah fell into a coma at that point, a seven month one ... she woke up on her 25th birthday, on July 7th. She was quiet, silent. Tom was in Japan at this point, and Alex didn't even know until the end of that month. At that point, she was given a choice: To stay in London, or go after Tom in Japan.
In the end: she went after Tom.
Time is a'Changin'....
Farah's arrival in Japan was met with a few interesting events. Tom was found on one of her very first nights. A few nights later, she would get her first taste of the truth about Persona when Takahisa Kandori cornered her, Fumiya Watanabe, Azusa Shimegi, and Shiori Hibiki, twisting time to fight them. A few days later, Farah would once again run into Kandori... and run into him again when he asked her to assist her in rescuing Azusa from Kirijo Corp. She did, and was officially pulled into the NWO... as the matron of the new group, K N O W, announcing it with a formal masquerade ball, where things went down with such people like Tomomi, Takaya, Thora... and Tom.
Get in the KNOW!
Farah is now the Matron of KNOWS, alongside several other people to make it run smoothly. Her relationship with Kandori is like a set of twins; they both know each others' habits and thoughts, and it has strangely turned into a familiar face for her ...
at the same time, risking her friendship with the rest of the world...
... including Tom.
What will happen? ... only time will tell the truth from illusions.
