Pazia is tall, slender and muscled. she has very defined arms and legs with a toned stomach. she has smaller shoulders and long legs
Pazia has a strong face with a sharp, pointed chin and pointed cheekbones. She often contours her face to make it seem even more so.
a solid dark, dark brown

She has a medium sized nose with a rounded tip
Pazia has large, dark lips that are usually coated in natural matte lipstick
there's small scarring around the corners of her eyes from where the glass of her eyes as scratched at them when Pazia uses them for emergencies. she also has small scarring on her knuckles from too long spent in the training room with a punching bag and wall.
n/a
Pazia stands tall with perfect posture and arms either clasped behind her or folded in front of her chest
Pazia is a strong individual with an iron mind and steel will. She's confident and when she puts her mind to something, it's impossible to stop her. She's commanding and knows how to lead effectively. Sure, her brash attitude may set others off but there's no doubt that Pazia's often the best one in a room to lead.
Pazia puts immense pressure on herself to always be a leader and to always be Number One. She heavily overworks herself (though she says that she can handle it) and will not stop until a job is done. She's studious and calculating, never going into a situation without a plan in mind.
Pazia is also irritable, but it takes a lot for her to fully lose her patience. She tends to naturally believe others are under her. She's the best, she's the smartest, she's the strongest, she's the most powerful. This confidence isn't just a façade. Pazia is extremely intelligent and disciplined.
Pazia's need to be Number One has driven her to her breaking point on a few occasions. It's rare to see her in a moment of weakness, but it has happened before. It's shocking to see Number One uncomposed and unprofessional.
Despite all of this cold professionalism, Pazia does have a heart. She cares for The Six like her own family, but duty comes first. Her dutifulness is her fatal flaw.

Lawful Evil
Fight
Pazia is never one to back down from a challenge. She will prevail and nobody's going to best her.
- Failing Donovan
- Not being Number One
efficient, strong, the best
rigid, straight-laced, commanding
To be Number One
Not only because of the number assigned to her, but also because of her personality and perfectionism, Pazia always feels to the need to be the best. If she isn't the best then she isn't worth it. She pushes herself day in and day out to be the best at everything.To succeed
Pazia's always been someone where duty comes first, emotions come later. Whatever mission Donovan places in front of her, she must carry out without question and without hesitance. Donovan's given her everything in life, including her title of Number One. She cannot disappoint him.To kill Shea
Shea, Pazia's former friend and fellow assassin, has a target placed on her head by Angel Donovan. Donovan tasked the remaining five assassins to slaughter Shea and bring Donovan her head. Pazis, infuriated that Shea left in the first place (Shea threw Pazia's entire life off, and that is a huge no), wants to be the one to kill her. She wants to make Donovan proud and set her life back on track.

she might fix her makeup or re-do her hair
and then she'll use her power to remove all glass from the corpse, shake them clean, and reassemble in the form they were previously in
ex: if she used a window to break into shards and kill some CEO, she then fixes her lipstick in the reflection of the largest shard stuck into the CEO's neck. Then, she removes all glass from the CEO and manipulates it so all blood/other stuff gets shaken from the glass and then it's all put right back into the window and sealed up, as if the window had never been touched in the first place.
September 30th
the Utopia City of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
She went to a nice private school and also received some schooling from her father in linguistics at home.
When she was 11 and after she was kidnapped, she learned from the tutors at The Compound and also furthered her own education independently.
Paisley was born the only child to Hassan and Samirah Abbas in the Utopia City of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Her father was a well-known lawyer and her mother was a saleswoman who often left the country for business trips.
Growing up, Paisley had always been the star pupil. She was always the smartest in her classes, one who spoke three fluent languages by the time she was seven. Paisley had plenty of good friends, but her closest one was Zaid Hadid. Zaid was bullied for stupid things as a kid. Paisley always stood up for him and from there, a friendship was born.
By the time Paisley was ten, she had been offered to move up two grades in school, but she declined. Her father was slightly disappointed but understood his daughter's decision.
When Paisley was eleven, walking home from school with Zaid, a white van pulled up next to them and from it, four people in all-black. They had wrestled Paisley into the van and pushed Zaid to the ground.
Paisley was drugged and transported halfway across the globe to the new country of Concordia, nestled between the United States and Mexico. Here, she woke up with six other children in the same room as her. She was the first to be taken into the mystery room. She was strapped to a table and had all of her memories wiped from her mind.
The Compound, located in Eastern Concordia in the Sonoran Desert 1500 feet underground
Paisley's Room:
Paisley's room is very modern with sharp edges and mostly monochrome colors. Everything is perfectly in order and perfectly cleaned.
Duty-Driven Antagonist
Static
never quite changes. her mindset remains the same: fulfill Donovan's orders.
After being brought to the Compound and having all of her memories wiped, Paisley quickly proved that she was a force to be reckoned with. She learns quickly and already knows three languages by the time she's eleven. She had a natural leader-like presence about her and it was obvious that she would be Number One.
Donovan saw this potential to be great in her, and never hesitated to bring that to her attention. Donovan put Paisley through the most rigorous training out of any of The Six because he believed that she could handle it. He was right, but it was only a matter of time before the pressure became too much.
Paisley was constantly pressured by Donovan to be the best, which eventually turned into a fear of disappointing him. ("You're better than this, One." "Is that the best you could do, One?" "Paisley, we both know your potential's being wasted here." Are a few of the things Donovan would say to her when supervising her training.)
Over the years, Paisley learned to internalize all of this pressure and stress. She was sent out on various missions, slaughtering her target quickly, efficiently, and without leaving any trace behind. There's a reason Paisley's Number One. She isn't a loose cannon like Abel, solely long-range like Rhyda, fighting with her power like Shea, battling with internal conflict like Grace, and stopping every ten feet to seduce someone like Felix. Paisley is really the best. She's strong, she's intelligent, she's fast, she's sneaky, she's powerful.
Everything was perfect.
Until Shea escaped and flipped Paisley's world on its head.
The truth is, Paisley cares for each of The Six like her siblings. She may be their leader, but that doesn't mean she isn't their friend or their sister. She's aloof and commanding, but it doesn't mean she's heartless. Shea screwed Paisley's life over by leaving, but Paisley was willing to let it go and right her life back to normal.
But Donovan called. He demanded Shea's head. Paisley, bound to duty and forever loyal to Donovan, accepted the mission. Her goal is to kill Shea.
Paisley has the ability to reshape and manipulate glass within 100 yards of her. She cannot create glass, but any glass in the area is now under her control. She can send it hurtling through the air, use it to create shields, reshape it into knives. She can do practically anything with it except create more. Paisley also as her glass eyes if she needs them for emergencies.
How to beat Paisley in a fight:
- wear extremely thick and knife-proof clothing
- trap her glass in areas she's unable to manipulate (example: put the glass in steel boxes) or push the glass out of her range
- get rid of her weapons, you can close in on her
- but she usually has a back-up plan so watch out for that
How to avoid a fight with Paisley:
- don't be targeted by Donovan
- if you're a target, you're dead. no way out (unless you beat her in a fight)
Angel Donovan was sick of people blackmailing him and didn't want competition so he started the Six Initiative to create six superhuman assassins.
experimented on from ages 11-15
The glass looks like whatever glass she uses (usually clear, but if it's stained glass, it'll look like whatever color it has been dyed). The glass will also have a vague teal coloring around the edges to show that she's in control.
- extremely skilled with it
- only as good as the amount of glass in a room
- glass is fragile
Paisley has a low, intimidating voice to match her looks. She doesn't speak very loudly, but her voice instantly makes people shut up and listen. Usually it's on the softer side, but it can grow sharp in an instant.
A low chuckle, kind of reverberates off of walls and gets into the heads of others. Intimidating.
Is fluent in 20 languages. She grew up in Saudi Arabia speaking both English and Arabic, but her father also schooled her in Latin.
The other 17 include:
Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Catalan, Romansh, German, Hindi, Mandarin, Russian, Aramaic, Hebrew, Persian/Farsi, Urdu, Pashto and Kurdish.
Basically, if it's Latin-based or similar to Arabic or English, she can pick it up easily.
- hums quietly when deciding something
- doesn't swear a lot
- uses insults to refer to people a lot (ex: Abel is "Egg" and Felix is "whore" and/or "slut")
from bottom to top:
- black boots w/ 4-inch skinny heel
- dark gray slacks over the shoes
- black leather belt with a silver buckle
- crisp white button up tucked into the slacks with the top two buttons unbuttoned
- dark gray blazer
- black leather half-gloves that cover her pinky finger, ring finger, and thumb.
- two thin silver necklaces
- large silver glass hoop earrings
- her journal
- two pens
- six glass marbles
- communication device
- handkerchief
any sort of glass around her, and that's including her glass earrings. she forms them into razor sharp swords or spears and drives them straight through her target.
She'll use whatever Donovan supplies. Helicopter and private jets are her favorite way to go, though.
When covering short distances, she'll use a sleek, chauffeured vehicle that she can dramatically step out of.
Perfectionism. Everything must be perfect.
Paisley's eyes are made out of glass. Because of this, she can remove them from her sockets. She can only see when the eyes are in their correct place, but whatever she sees triggers no emotion at all. If she gets emotional, it's because of something she hears or thinks.

Father: Hassan Abbas
Paisley had a good relationship with her father. He was a successful lawyer in Saudi Arabia. Hassan spent his college days overseas in America, where he first learned law. He returned home to Saudi Arabia and settled down with his wife. When he wasn't practicing law, Hassan taught Paisley fluent Latin to the point where she was speaking it almost fluently with Arabic and English. Paisley admired her father and how strong he was. Even in seemingly unconquerable situations, he managed to persevere and come out on top. Paisley adapted his will into her own, and by the time she was nine, she was widely seen as the "top kid on the playground". Paisley and Hassan were close. Hassan would read to her every night (the texts growing increasingly difficult) and would occasionally quiz her on random things to help strengthen her memory. Paisley loved these pop quizzes and snatched the chance to improve herself every time she got. Hassan always loved to call her "zahrati", which means flower in Arabic.
Mother: Samirah Abbas
Samirah and Paisley were close, but not nearly as close as Paisley was to her father. Samirah was a travelling saleswoman who would often leave for long periods of times to sell her goods. When Samirah was home, Paisley loved to tell her mother what she had learned and how much better she had gotten at x, y and z. Samirah taught Paisley how to be a strong woman, even in environments where they would always have the disadvantage.
She is an only child, but she has a sibling-esque relationship with The Six
Grace Evans:
Paisley and Grace are closest to each other. Paisley loves Grace's calm demeanor and just the presence of the other girl is enough to take the edge off of Paisley's stress. Grace is neat and quiet and not agitating in the slightest. Out of all the chaos when it comes to The Six, Grace is always a safe person to go to when it gets tough.
Cagney Donovan:
Paisley practically adopted Cagney. Cagney is Donovan's youngest child and nine years younger than The Six. Cagney practically grew up in the Compound around the assassins and got somewhat attached to Paisley. Paisley was at first really reluctant to be working with a child, but upon seeing how well Cagney's molded, Paisley took it upon herself to teach Cagney how to become a strong woman. Paisley often schemes with Cagney what'll be the best way to take out Drew, but they mostly don't act on these plans.
Formerly, Zaid Hadid:
Zaid was Paisley's best friend growing up. They were practically inseparable. Zaid was sweet while Paisley was bitter, Paisley highly-intelligent while Zaid was stronger physically. They were foils and balanced each other well. They were always at each other's houses and hanging out at every opportunity. After Paisley was kidnapped, Zaid began searching for her, and 10 years later, he still hasn't stopped.
Abel Nakamura:
Abel and Paisley are close, sure, but when it comes to missions and plans, Paisley would rather not work with Abel. Abel has a tendency to do whatever they please at any given moment and a total disregard for plans. Paisley acknowledges Abel's strength and skill in killing, but his way of doing it completely infuriates Paisley. At home, when not on missions, they get along just fine. Paisley calls Abel an "egg" a lot and Abel just laughs and calls her a "bitch". Paisley may seem exhausted by Abel all of the time, but really she does care for him... But duty does come first.
Rhyda O'Connell:
Rhyda and Paisley are fairly close. Rhyda's very clean and organized, which Paisley appreciates, and she doesn't cause problems that much. Rhyda's cynical nature and sarcastic comments and puns often get on Paisley's nerves, but Paisley respects Rhyda for her outstanding marksmanship. Rhyda also sticks to plans which makes Paisley's life a lot easier when going out on group missions.
Felix Herrera:
Paisley can't stand Felix in the same way an older sister would hate their younger brother. Felix is annoying and is always up in Paisley's face, trying to pull a reaction from her. A majority of the time, Paisley manages to keep a straight face but sometimes Felix does get to her and she snaps. Paisley isn't the biggest fan of Felix's casanova ways. She often calls him "slut" and "whore" and Felix only laughs, only bothering Paisley further. However, during missions, Paisley and Felix often team up. Their powers working off of each other are nearly perfect and they can always get jobs done quickly and effectively. Despite all this, Paisley recognizes Felix's power and skill, occasionally (rarely) complimenting him.
Angel Donovan:
I'm not sure if Donovan counts as a friend, but Paisley's definitely his most loyal assassin. Donovan gives Paisley everything she could ever need, including resources and time to become the best at everything she sets her mind to. Donovan tasks her with killing his enemies, and Paisley succeeds every single time.
Drew Donovan:
Paisley's rivalry with Drew is completely one-sided. Drew is the Boss's Son and therefore the heir to everything Donovan has. This, of course, infuriates Paisley because she isn't Donovan's number one. She's debated killing Drew many times, but that would just end up with more problems and a broken trust between Paisley and Donovan, and she can't risk that. Paisley views Drew as a weak person. He's never killed anyone, he hasn't trained daily for hours trying to be the best, and yet he's handed everything to him by his father just because they're blood.
Shea Tomatuk-Desmond:
Who used to be considered her friend, Shea is now considered Paisley's mortal enemy. When Shea ran away, it threw a wrench in Paisley's perfect life plan. Shea disrupted everything, and Paisley almost lost control of her life. When tasked to kill Shea, Paisley didn't hesitate to agree and go after her sibling with an intention to kill.
Bianca Wong:
Bianca is also considered to be Paisley's enemy, for Donovan's also placed a target on her head, but Paisley doesn't see Bianca as nearly as much of a threat as Shea is. Bianca's just another person on Donovan's hitlist, but with Shea it's personal.
Paisley couldn't care less about people. She has no real attachment to them (lies, she's attached to The Six but she'll never say it) and if anything, they're just stepping stones to get to what she needs. Lives aren't that important to her.
Demiromantic Asexual
Paisley's toyed with the idea of love late at night in bed. She doesn't find it completely repulsive, but she always dismisses it as something she'll never obtain. If she ever gets a partner, they'd have to be equally as strong and powerful as her and they'd never hold her back. However, due to Paisley's perfectionism and high-standards, she knows that love is something she'll never obtain. It doesn't seem to bad.
Words of Affirmation.
It's rare that somebody will ever get praise from Paisley, but when they do, it shows a sign that Paisley considers you worthy of her time and good enough to catch her attention in the first place. You'll never get an "I love you" or "I appreciate you" from Paisley, but with The Six, there's always the occasional "nice move" or "impressive attack". It shows she was watching and she acknowledges their power. It's rare, but it does exist.
Gifts.
Paisley's pretty emotionally stunted, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care for the rest of The Six. For their birthdays every year, she tries to get them something subtle and something she could easily downplay. There was one time when Grace was having a really rough time and Paisley molded her some glass roses.
none
If Paisley was ever in a relationship, she wouldn't be touchy or feely, she would keep a respectable distance but there would be somewhat affectionate stares and the occasional gift. She would also compliment her partner a lot (a lot is considered probably once every three days for her).
sharp, modern edges, glass in the middle of the night, unwrinkled blazers, broken mirrors, cold, calculating
grays, blacks, whites and silvers with the occasional splash of teal
Paisley smells... sharp. It's hard to explain, but somehow she just smells like a knife, slightly metallic.

- professional environments
- reading
- formulating plans

her name is Pazia, but it was Paisley so if you see any uhh mess ups then ignore them
She grew up Muslim with her family, though she was always kind of hesitant towards the teachings. After getting her memories erased, Pazia is a firm atheist. There is no God, no Deity, no Higher Power.
Pazia believes that anybody with beliefs for a higher power are fools for believing so. There is no way there's a deity with a hand in everyone's fate. The only way to get what you want is to do it yourself and achieve it through hard work.
Assassin for Donovan Enterprises
Pazia doesn't really have a favorite food, but she definitely prefers things that are nutritious and good for her, but also have a decent amount of flavor. Grace's cooking is always good.
She likes cool grays. They're simple, quiet and just fine on their own.
Leopards have always interested her, especially snow ones. She finds their beauty, grace and strength inspiring.
Pazia's not one to get attached to material objects, but if she had to pick one, it would be her notebook. Pazia jots down random notes and checklists in Latin in a small black notebook that she can carry around in her pocket. It helps keep her on track and keep her priorities straight.
Pazia likes cool afternoons with clouds covering the sun. Perhaps a cold breeze. She enjoys this weather for it makes her calm and comfortable.
Pazia loves Ghost Cities, the ones with shattered windows and abandoned streets. Walking across the rubble with a threatening stare, not another trace of life. It's thrilling being the only one there. Ghost Cities give her a feeling of power.
