Aazeen ’ [name_f]Azia[/name_f] ’ Tahseenah [name_f]El[/name_f] [name_m]Omry[/name_m] [name_m]Lennart[/name_m] (24) is Monique’s wife. A Yemeni-American makeup artist, who’s still breaking into the field and primarily gets her income from sponsorship deals given on account of her successful video tutorials; Azia’s heavily involved in fundraising and spreading awareness of the war affecting the country she was born in. [name_f]Azia[/name_f] emigrated to San [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] when she was 2-and-a-half, after her father - a journalist - was offered a job regarding covering international affairs: one he accepted due to increased freedoms a career in [name_u]Texas[/name_u] would grant him and his family. The second of five children, she was the last to be born in Beihan - where her grandparents lived until 14 months ago, when they were granted asylum to live near her parents - but culture is still highly important to her.
A fluent speaker of Arabic, [name_m]German[/name_m] and [name_f]English[/name_f], Azia’s a very practical person who admits she’s not the most academic of people (especially next to her older sister, who’s a qualified optician), but she’s great at mending clothes, putting together furniture and cooking: tasks she takes primary responsibility for around her and Monique’s home. The two met when they worked in the same department store - [name_f]Azia[/name_f] on the makeup counter, [name_f]Monique[/name_f] gift-wrapping - and formed an immediate bond. It always relieved [name_f]Azia[/name_f] how her then-girlfriend never judged her or her family: who are considered unusual by those with pre-conceived stereotypes, thanks to Azia’s mother having been raised in [name_u]Germany[/name_u] thanks to her maternal grandparents moving, visiting them in [name_u]Berlin[/name_u] whenever she can.
