Mina Qadir possesses a sturdy, muscular build shaped by a life of labor and survival in the deserts of Osman. She has olive-toned, sun-darkened skin with droopy hazel eyes. Mina’s thick, dark hair is often tied back in a loose bun or hairbun. Her facial features reflect her Sandarun heritage, with a broad nose, pronounced cheekbones, and slightly narrowed eyes adapted to the intense desert light. Her voice is calm and measured, reflecting her reserved demeanor.

Mina embodies the traits valued by her Sandarun heritage: pragmatism, resilience, and loyalty to family and clan. She is a quiet, introspective individual who carefully observes her surroundings, often evaluating situations before acting. Although initially guarded with outsiders, Mina is fiercely loyal to those she trusts, and her dedication to her people is unwavering.

Mina is practical in her approach to survival, driven more by duty than hope. Her loyalty to her clan and the Sandarun way of life keeps her grounded, and she carries a deep-seated belief in honoring her ancestors through resilience and dedication. While not averse to modern technology, Mina is cautious about losing touch with her traditions, often balancing new methods with Sandarun practices.

Mina Qadir was born in YE 16 within a Sandarun Osmani clan in the Tolmasch region of Osman, a desert world where survival is an everyday challenge. Raised in a community that emphasized cooperation, endurance, and self-reliance, Mina grew up learning essential skills like water conservation, desert survival, and barter negotiation. Her clan, like many others, adhered to a semi-nomadic lifestyle, migrating seasonally to find water and avoid dust storms. Mina was taught to respect her ancestors and the rhythms of the desert, which shaped her practical and spiritual worldview.

The NMX invasion of Osman in YE 45 shattered the fragile stability of her people’s way of life. Despite the clan’s efforts to resist, the overwhelming firepower of the NMX led to widespread devastation. Mina was among those captured by the NMX.

Mina Qadir has the following notable skills:

• Survival and Military: Growing up in the harsh deserts of Osman, Mina developed extensive survival skills from a young age. She is adept at finding water, building shelter, foraging for food, and using natural camouflage to blend into the landscape. She also knows basic desert self-defense tactics, having learned to protect herself and her clan in times of crisis.

• Biology: Mina has a basic but practical understanding of desert ecology, especially concerning plants and animals native to Osman. She uses this knowledge to identify edible plants, medicinal herbs, and animal behaviors essential for survival. Her familiarity with local flora and fauna allows her to make quick, informed decisions in the desert wilderness.

• Communications: While Mina’s primary language is a Sandarun dialect derived from Trade (though she has a basic understanding of Trade due to interaction with the FSC). She is proficient in both verbal and non-verbal communication methods essential for desert survival. She uses hand signals and other silent forms of communication to coordinate with others without drawing attention. Her experience with outsiders has also taught her the basics of inter-clan diplomacy and negotiation.

• Physical: Years of desert living have left Mina in excellent physical shape, with high endurance and agility suited for traversing rough terrain. She is a capable runner, climber, and swimmer when necessary, although water sources are rare. Her physical conditioning allows her to carry supplies over long distances and withstand extreme temperatures.

• Medical and Science: Mina has practical knowledge of first aid and herbal medicine, a skill passed down within her clan. She can treat common injuries and illnesses using desert herbs and basic supplies, a valuable skill in environments with limited access to advanced medical facilities. This includes treating dehydration, minor wounds, and sand exposure injuries.

• Rogue: Mina has learned basic survivalist “rogue” skills, such as hiding, moving silently, and blending into her home desert environment. She is proficient in bartering, which is a necessity within the resource-scarce Sandarun barter economy. Her ability to read people and navigate tense negotiations has been crucial for securing resources.

• Vehicles: Although formal vehicular training is limited among the Sandarun, Mina has gained practical experience driving and maintaining desert land vehicles, including scavenged or adapted transports. Her familiarity with desert navigation enables her to drive across dunes and rough terrain, often serving as a guide for her community or outsiders.

Mina Qadir is connected to:

• Terrence Nishimura - A Nepleslian Reds that was her cellmate for months. A fellow survivor of the NMX invasion.
• Qadir Clan - Her extended family and clan members, whose fates are unknown to her.

Mina Qadir merely has the clothes she had during her capture. Mina Qadir currently has no personal funds.
