Military service
During airstrikes on major cities in Sharifistan in December 2020 (resulting in the death of her father), she enlisted in the Royal Logistics Corps of the Royal Sharifistani Army. After completing her training, she briefly served as a logistics driver towards the end of the war.
Activism
She founded the organisation Sharifistani Women For Complete Equality when she was seventeen years old, to campaign for greater gender equality. The organisation campaigns for equalising the grounds of divorce, against the exclusion of women in the infantry and for more people to believe women when they claim they have been raped amongst other causes.
She is an LGBT activist, campaigning for people to be "taught to accept gay people for who they are" from childhood in schools and campaigning against the ban on homosexual PDA.
Her organisation petitioned for the abolition of the Islamic Religious Police when it was created.
Personal life
She dated Sharifistani liberal politician Aysun Demir from 2018-2021. She is Buddhist, having converted to Buddhism at the age of 18 and went on a Buddhist meditation retreat in 2019. She has been vegetarian since the age of 14 and is currently vegan.
