Nahia Buday

Nahia Buday is a character in the Rosedale universe and is currently enrolled in RUA.

Physical Description
Nahia is a slightly-below-average height woman with a naturally tan complexion and a pear-shaped physique. Her dark-brown, curly hair reaches past her chest and her face is adorned by a pair of gold-frame prescription glasses. Nahia's sense of style is primarily characterized by knitted cardigans, flannels, baggy sweatpants, maxi-skirts, etc., predominantly in earthy shades of orange, green and yellow.

Personality
People prefer to avoid Nahia due to her almost infectious negative attitude, as she walks the halls of RUA with so-called 'resting bitch face syndrome'. Nahia does not think highly of her peers and prefers to stay uninvolved in other people's business, with the exception of the select few people she has no issue being around. Being heavily involved in her degree and maintaining a strong interest in painting and art, she frequently views her less committed classmates as below her and thus spends a lot of her time inside her dorm room in absolute solitude, working on her craft. This guard she has put up prevents Nahia from enjoying exhilarating and fun activities with people she avoids interacting with.

Family
Nahia was raised by both of her parents until her father tragically passed away. Since then, her mother has moved on and remarried, leaving Nahia with a stepfather and stepbrother to whom she does not have the best relationship with. Nahia's late father was a painter himself and even taught her whenever he was still around. As Nahia had a difficult time moving on from his death, she continued to pursue painting by herself in order to still feel connected to him.

Interests
Pursuing a degree in Traditional Art, Nahia naturally has an interest in art, particularly painting and drawing, occasionally dabbling into the territory of sculpting and pottery. She also enjoys listening to indie music and collecting vinyl records occasionally as well as taking trips down to the local parks and going on hikes on forest trails near her. A frequent subject of her art is nature and animals.

University Life
Nahia is majoring in Traditional Art at RUA and is currently in her third year. With years of practice and a socially-sacrificing amount of dedication, Nahia has almost no difficulty getting through her modules, electives and assignments. The only challenges that arise deal with either a switch in medium away from painting or drawing or a repeating issue which concerns a lack of emotional depth and value in Nahia's work which is a result of her uninvolved and antisocial nature.

Trivia
