Editing Parian (section)

==Personality==
She is not naturally violent, but found herself and her family drawn into the conflicts of Worm. She felt a great amount of responsibility to those who came to her for help.<ref name="Cast2">'''Parian, Sabah''' – Controls the northern end of the city.  Not an official member of the group, but tied to their alliance.  Once a ‘rogue’, Parian saw many of her friends, family and classmates die when the Slaughterhouse Nine attacked the territory she was protecting.  In the hopes of protecting and supporting others, and perhaps giving  the Undersiders a more moral voice, she has joined their alliance and taken control of a territory of her own.  Parian’s powers allow her fine manipulation of smaller and lighter objects, and can ‘fill’ larger vessels to render them effectively heavy, dense and heavy-hitting.  She has used this to fashion cloth dolls she animates.  Wears a frock as a costume, with a porcelain doll’s face for a mask, and a wig of golden curls. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (in depth)]</ref>

She is very socially conscious, planning to keep her true ethnicity concealed to promote dialogue regarding assumptions about capes.<ref name="9.2 c1">Primarily to make her disguise more effective, also to make a statement.<br/><br/>She was working on the assumption that she’d reveal her identity at some point. It was common knowledge that she was a fashion student doing Rogue work and getting exposure as Parian to gain some prominence. Hiding her identity in that way was a way of doing such (because of her distinct appearance). Allowing some connection between her real race and her appearance would only make it blatantly obvious, with the clues that were already out there.<br/><br/>Eventually revealing herself to be middle eastern, down the road, would give her room to open a dialogue on the subject and add some drama to what otherwiise(sic) be a ‘meh’ moment. -

=== Relationships ===
==== [[Lily|Lily]] ====
Her best friend and girlfriend, they are very close.

Their relationship was not predatory; despite being younger, Lily actually has the edge in terms of life experience and resources.<ref>'''Ill_Finding1055: Is the relationship between Sabah and Lilly predatory?'''<br>The whole idea of this college student having such power over Lilly freaks me out and it doesn't seem healthy.<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' No. Lily is an emancipated young woman with enough money to be financially independent, educated enough to have been taking university level courses, she's reasonably levelheaded for a person in a warzone like Brockton Bay. She takes it on herself to decide she wants to be with her girlfriend.<br><br>In terms of life experience and resources, Lily has the edge, if anything. - Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref><!-- https://redd.it/qyxwzz --><ref>'''The Edge:''' Lily has more overall life experience, she's been through more, she's grown up more, she's tapped into resources and worked within the various systems she's in (school, employment, legal) to a greater extent than Sabah, who is a late bloomer who has struggled with those same systems and been set back repeatedly by trauma and shifts in field of study.<br>[...]<br>Throughout the early phases of their relationship Foil is a support and confidante, a stable presence in Sabah's unstable life. She makes her visits, she helps out, and they have a mutual relationship of trust and respect.<br><br>This is why Sabah, who is still shaky from dealing with trauma, isn't prepared to be in the relationship- she fears a repeat of the events that led to her trigger, with that power imbalance, and Lily being stronger and better positioned than her. Lily joining Sabah serves to give Lily an escape from the PRT and the play-act helps to soothe Sabah's anxieties. Later on, this shifts away from villainy as their needs and relationship adapt. - Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref><!-- https://redd.it/qyxwzz -->

==== [[Taylor Hebert|Skitter]] ====
Feared Skitter to an extent. Eventually came to respect her. Was reluctant to accept her offer to join the Undersiders.

==== [[Bitch]] ====
Considered Rachel to be unstable and was constantly wary of her power.<ref name="I21.y e1">“There’s two major issues we have to deal with,” Tattletale said.  “Accord is going to be one.  The other is-<br/><br/>''Bitch.''<br/><br/>The girl entered the room, two large dogs flanking her, the wolf cub trailing behind, unmodified by her powers.  The young American bulldog, still not fully grown, an older pitbull that bore the scars of old dogfights.  The wolf cub was comparatively small.  ''Adorable''.  Adorable and capable of turning into a murder machine the size of a pony.<br/><br/>Bitch was imposing in an entirely different way than Grue was.  Grue was intimidating, but he was ''fair''.  Rational.  Bitch wasn’t either of those things.  Her blond hair was shaggy, having grown in, combed with little more than fingers, if appearance was any indication. The glimpses of her face that showed in the midst of the hair were a wary glower. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/interlude-21/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.y]]</ref>
