Photo credit to Butterfly Diary.Huda Abu-Orabi is a Special Agent of the TNG National Police Agency currently assigned to the Violent Crimes Division in the Asteria City field office. Previously, she was working out of the Therrier-Paix field office, focusing on hate crimes investigations through her assignment to the Special Crimes Division. After nearly being dragged before the review board following an incident with queerphobic hecklers at the annual pride parade, Huda got her ass chucked to Asteria in the hopes her budding radicalism would fade out a bit. Clearly, headquarters chose the wrong place to send this radical feminist. She's grown quite enamored with the radical activist communities in Asteria, though there's always the tension between pressure to leave her job as a tool of the capitalist state and her own drive to fight for the victims whom she suspects would very much be ignored if not for her rather literally loud protests at the Special Agent in Charge, who's finally begun to realize why Therrier-Paix all but kicked her out.
When not still out in the field or slouched over her desk at some ungodly hour for the sake of one case or another, Huda can be found loitering in any of the various coffee shops downtown with a cup of joe in one hand and her trusty laptop in the other. Her Tumblr-based blog, increasing in popularity every so often, is where she speaks her mind on being a queer, feminist, hijabi Muslima transplant originally from northeastern Hafirjan. Huda lives in a Southwest apartment with two cats who occasionally get along and frequently demand (in loud meows) to know why she's not around all the time to give them cuddles and attention. (It used to be different, but after a rather nasty breakup, Huda's partner isn't around during the day anymore to satiate their bottomless cuddle quota.) Huda's sometimes proud of her alma mater, Hampshire College, but like everyone else in her life, there's no one who doesn't deserve a good calling out every now and then. Sometimes, people are just fucking racists.
