#only bigger

she’s currently dating a fireman, kaleb, from the department down the road from northeastern

(they met after one of her college roommates at the time set fire to a bag of popcorn in the microwave at 3am and he was on duty)

(they did not like each other)

(their dislike for one another was only fuelled after she joined the pd, bc you know police and fire officers are sworn rivals)

(this only changes after an incident where small fire turns out to be the work of an arsonist who ends up holding kaleb at gunpoint as he’s clearing the house)

(farah’s unit are called in and things almost go sideways but they manage to get kaleb out safely and arrest the guy)

(farah freaks out, kaleb also freaks out just a little bit, they become actual friends)

(then they develop actual feelings)

(but don’t be mistaken, they may be dating but that does not mean they are not still rivals when it comes to working in the field)

she played tennis at college 

she’s a very bad singer

she sings anyway

farah does a round trip to visit her ammi and mama in nyc and her dad in brooklyn at least once a month 

as i’ve mentioned before her and nursey have a weekly skype call session, every thursday at 8pm 

their conversation topics range from homework to homicides but often end up revolving back round to badgering the other for deets on dex/kaleb 

she grew up speaking a mix of english and urdu at home so she’s fluent in both 

but unlike nursey, who was born just before her ammi and dad split up and grew up with their mama around and can therefore speak in english, urdu and spanish, she’s extremely average at her third language and often finds herself pointing at random things she’s talking about and cycling through the word in english and urdu until finally shouting the correct translation in spanish

like her ammi and nursey she is muslim but unlike her ammi she chooses not to wear a hijab

she’s a really good cook so whenever her and nursey are visiting their dad she’s always in charge in the kitchen because nursey definitely inherited his ability to burn water from their father

farah doesn’t understand hockey

she tried really hard to learn the rules but in the end she’s just taken to cheering whenever nursey has the puck, booing whenever he gets checked, and yelling whenever he scores a goal

she figures that’s enough

she’s currently rereading holes

for the seventh time

she was ‘the horse girl’ growing up

nursey will never let her live it down and often brings up the number of rosettes she has in the attic

(he’s also using this as an excuse to brag about his sister but shh)
