Editing Parian (section)

==History==
===Background===
Sabah immigrated to the United States of America from Basra with her family before they moved to Brockton Bay. There she had been forced to learn English alongside other subject matter by herself as her parents were too busy. After graduating high school, she attended university where she studied the 'grittier' courses such as math and engineering.

Sabah drew attention from a boy in her class that became interested in her. She tried telling him 'no' multiple times but wound up being labeled as a 'bitch'. The other students wound up hearing and turned on her which lead to her schoolwork starting to suffer as no one wanted to work or study with her. She caved six weeks afterward and apologized to the boy, telling him that she had had a bad day. She began dreading going back to class and dealing with him.

Eventually, Sabah's father suffered a terminal heart attack. She triggered on what was only one in a long string of nights spent alone, stewing in frustration. It was the push she needed to get away from the boy as it gave her a new goal: success in fashion design.<ref name="I21.y"/><ref name="Cast1">'''Parian''' – A rogue, or a parahuman who focuses more on civilian life than on heroics/villainy, an aspiring fashion designer, she uses her telekinesis to maintain animated cloth puppets. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast (spoiler free)]</ref>

After triggering, she was described by [[Taylor]] as only using her powers for "business or entertainment". She sometimes partnered with stores in downtown Brockton Bay, animating mascots or other large characters for promotional purposes.<ref name="8.1">A scattered few independent heroes and villains were around as well.  Few I could name.  I saw a girl dressed up like an old fashioned doll.  Parian.  She was local, and she wasn’t hero ''or'' villain.  A rogue, who only used her powers for business or entertainment.  She could sometimes be seen doing some promotion for a store downtown, giving life to some massive stuffed animal or a store mascot.  She’d done an interview in a magazine I’d read back before I had powers, and I knew she was a fashion student, though she wasn’t revealing just who she was until after she was more established.  She looked as though she were trapped in a conversation with a curly haired, dimple-cheeked villainess that looked no older than eight, who wore a frock that was maybe from the same period as Parian’s.  The pseudo-child was Bambina, if I was remembering right. - [[Extermination 8.1]]</ref>

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Parian took up defending a territory, [[Dolltown]], after [[Leviathan]] attacked the city.

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
After the people she was offering protection to were surgically altered by [[Bonesaw]] to look like the members of the Slaughterhouse Nine, she took up [[Skitter|Skitter's]] offer to join [[the Undersiders]] in order to afford good doctors to reverse the result of [[Bonesaw]]'s attention.

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
She struggled to take control of Bitch's old territory, not having the respect or other villainous qualities of the other Undersiders. She was extremely cautious of Accord, wary for a trap at any moment.<ref name="I21.y"/>

However, she would negotiate with the local heroes, leading to [[Skitter's Surrender]]. As events were underway, she was finally joined by her friend and ally [[Flechette]], who changed her name to Foil and became Parian's lieutenant and lover.

===[[Timeskip]]===
Sabah was kidnapped by her lover's recurring enemy, [[March]], on the villain's second visit to [[Brockton Bay]].<ref>[[Interlude 5y II]]</ref> It is unknown what Parian did when March came to the city for the first time.

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
Attended the meeting of the former Undersiders, toasting their fallen comrades.

The year after the GM she asked [[Tattletale]] for consultation regarding her power.<ref>“Since last year,” Tattletale said<br/>[...]<br/>“Par always said it wasn’t intuitive, like most people find their powers,” Foil whispered.<br/><br/>“That… was essentially what she said, before she asked me for help.  Just in case.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/12/03/radiation-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.6]]</ref>

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
Parian was alongside [[The Undersiders]] and [[Breakthrough]] during the oversight duty of [[Titan Oberon]] and [[Fume Hood|Eve]]. During the battle of titans she stayed with the rear group, where she shielded people from the effects of the gas, and helped them to retreat later, saving [[Chastity Vasil]].<ref name="II18.5">[[Radiation 18.5]]</ref> Later she provided expendable puppets until she ran out of materials. She recovered [[Foil]] and [[Switch Hitter]] with leather-made bird. With Wardens approval and on [[Tattletale]] insistence she used bodies of the fallen capes to create a giant skin puppet and tie down [[Titan Skadi]].<ref name="II18.6">[[Radiation 18.6]]</ref>
