his late mother was a kind woman who radiated warmth and affection to whomever had the pleasure of meeting her. honestly, shahzad's capacity to grow as a person and entertain the possibility of someday being a hero is down to her influence. he remembers fondly days spent sitting on her lap and watching her sew elaborate clothing, or of standing between her feet as she cooked dishes whose scent made him think of home. when she passed, he used his flames as a distraction from the cold and empty feeling in his chest

his father is an arsonist who made a name for himself in torrance's criminal scene. although he wasn't gifted with shahzad's abilities, he shared his obsession with fire and was skilled at engineering his own high-powered incendiary devices to satiate his ever increasing urges. shahzad has conflicting emotions regarding his father. he was a poor role model, but he was all the family he had after his mother passed and his sister moved away. he tried, in his own way, to be there for him as much as he was capable, which didn't amount to all that much at the end of the day. they'd bond over typical masculine father-son topics like cars, and also arson. he was eventually arrested and charged and is currently serving his sentence in prison. shahzad still calls, although they've become less frequent since he joined the phoenix program. he gets the sense that his father feels betrayed by him becoming another one of sdn's lapdogs

his sister is younger than him by a few years, although she always acted as the older sister. when their mother passed, she took the chance to escape their father's destructive influence and moved out of the state. shahzad doesn't blame her for choosing herself. if she had stayed, she would have ended up like him. she worked her way through nursing school and married a man who shared their mother's kind eyes. for many years she remained no-contact, although she did send shahzad a letter with an ultrasound photo of her unborn daughter attached in an attempt to sway him from the life his father had built for him and remind him that there was still joy to be found in the world. now that he's flambae, she's tentatively allowed him to integrate himself into her daughter's life. his niece inspires him to be a better hero than he was a villain. his sister dislikes shahzad's attempts to overcompensate his past behaviour by spoiling his niece, but she believes he has a good heart. he never misses a dance recital or sports class, and he makes whatever costume she wants for dressing up

[ TXT ]  :  11:37am  :  yeah  and  i'm  going  to  be  late  if  i'm  stuck  here  any  longer.   [ TXT ]  :  11:37am  :  if  you're  quick  and  this  works  i'll  buy  you  lunch.  i  don't  think  they're  going  to  let  me  back  into  the  store  after  this.    [ TXT ]  :  11:39am  :  if  anyone  asks  i  got lost.  not  looking  to  be  yelled  at  over  fighting  in  a  dollar  store. 

flambae strolls along the pavement, oblivious to the midday rush of finance bros and ladies off to hot yoga, and the clueless tourist who narrowly avoids smacking face-first into his bare chest. his head cranes to follow his fingers as they tap out the next message.
