Not a heart, for once

Hi!
This is Clara (Judith and Joshua's mun) with a new character who's actually not a Heart, but a Diamond (a four like Joshua, though). Here's Hürrem, a Turkish girl in her late twenties that found the Deck after running away from her husband and her ultra-orthodox Muslim family. Even though she worked as an interpreter and translator (she actually found the Deck thanks to an old story she had to translate to Turkish) before arriving to the Deck, now she works as the Diamond's hairdresser and makeup artist.
She's generally a friendly girl with an optimist look on life, but be careful if you mention her family or her husband...
CR, anyone?

Isaac will side-eye her because he is the best hairdresser in the Deck and everyone should let him do their hair forever in his opinion.

But will still give her tea. And awkward cheer-ups when she's down.

She will have met Avery, who is in charge of HR and is bubbly, friendly and generally a sweetheart.

And probably asked Hurrem to do her makeup and hair for the Berthier-Heathcote-Willoughby wedding. XD

I'm sort of picturing all of them together being fab. Shishi taking care of the dress, Hurrem hair and make-up, (maybe Isaac doing something?) Wren being fab in the background (or something?) :D

Gossiping and fruiting all over the place. Aaah, so wonderful.

Avery. :|||| Are you taking this break-up this far? To the next level?

Sandy? Sandy will fawn and watch her do lovely things that are not being done to Sandy. Sandy is too much of a blur and bohemian to care about hair and make up for herself. But she knows that make up and hair styling is a form of art and it's beautiful and wonderful and watch her fawn as previously mentioned.

Christopher goes, "ohgodwomenthingsgetmeaway", I'm afraid (he doesn't believe certain movies his PB made exist). :| He's sure Hürrem is a wonderful person and he regrets not being able to ask questions on her background because cultural diversity is a wonderful thing and it would be good for his students. (Or possibly student.)

Does Hurrem still practice Islam in any form? Gabe'd probably be willing to help her with any religious needs she has. He's no imam, but he can acquire texts and any tools needed for rituals.

I can also see Claudy all up in Hurrem's business with hair and makeup, though the fact that she's an Outsider means there'll be some distancing.

Auuugh can't think of a reason how Hürrem and Andrea will know each other in Deck since Andrea still has this trained feeling of 'Diamond = Avoid" and all that.. ;__; Boooo too because Hürrem is awesome to me with her job being a interpreter and translator.

Fellow low-key Diamond Fours unite? Even if Mel is kind of hopeless as far as hair and makeup are concerned? Although that might be changing, now that she has a girlfriend she might want to impress on occasion~

Rachel is joyous over another Diamond! \o/

Calypso just over here sideeying her because she likely wasn't there before she left.

Interpreter and Translator, you say.

Could she and Cadogan have been friends before he cut off from everyone?

Sophie will be much more interested in Hurrem's language skills than her hair abilities. What? Let someone mess around with her hair and be noticeable? Ugh, no. She's finally managed to allow Isaac to fuss over her but only on important occasions.

But she could get behind someone who speaks many languages the way she does.

I'd have to look to see if Katya knows any Turkish. She has a few in there.

Does she tutor. Because Säde would like Leigh to branch out while she's still young enough to absorb languages. Beyond that, I think Säde will have seen her once or twice but never really interacted much with her except for interpreting/translating purposes. But Leigh might know her a bit better?
