Childhood

Rashid was born the second child to Nasim and Radhja Daetrys, king and queen of Xaila. After his birth, Radhja had been able to hide her distaste for bearing a son from the public eye, even from her own family, but Rashid always felt like she would much rather have another daughter instead. While the queen never made this very obvious, the woman left little hints for him to catch during his years of growing up. Besides, she never paid much attention to him, and it became clear that she did not care much about what happened to him.

As a young boy, Rashid’s bold and courageous personality gave him a knack for getting into all sorts of problems, sometimes even dangerous situations. He was much less careful than his sisters were, obviously. Radhja blamed his boyish nature for this, and whenever she heard stories about his adventures, she could not bring herself to show even a hint of worry in her eyes. This wounded the boy, feeling like he could not count on his mother to care about him like any mother should. He never called her out on this, nor did anyone else who noticed this. He did care deeply about his sisters, and much rather enjoyed their company, ignoring his mother for most of the time.

Teens

Eventually, when he became older, Rashid found himself in the battle ring, training to become a warrior. Only that way, the boy could still be of use to his family. He started throwing his anger and his frustration into fights. This is also where he met his ‘family by choice’, a couple of other boys from dubious backgrounds, who hated each other at first before they began forging a deep friendship based on trust and mutual respect. They were bastards, spit out by society, but great warriors. Somehow, they bonded, and Rash started relying on them. In the meantime, they also made him question his views on societal norms, and his weakness began to grow for people not born equal to the eyes of others.

This made him grow closer to one of his cousins, who was also born a bastard and was therefore frowned upon by many, even his own family. But he decided not to judge Briseis, treating her with kindness instead. At the same time, he also grew closer with one of his other cousins, Yasmin, all because her mother had lost one of her sons shortly after birth, a son she had longed for. Due to this, she had always adored Rash, feeling like he was the son she never got to keep. He felt more motherly love from her than his mother, so he liked spending time with her. Sadly enough, she died when he was eighteen years old during childbirth, and he stayed around to help Yasmin deal with her grief, having lost both her mother and another brother.

Adulthood

Growing up, he became pretty self-sufficient in playing acts, keeping his own personal agenda from his family. His mother continued to dislike him, making him feel like he was secretly a disappointment to her on every front, but he did not care about this anymore. He simply kept playing along with her charade while making it seem like he was not bothered at all by her disapproval. And, due to his reputation, some of his sisters could trust him with their mistakes while he tried his best to keep them from making more.

When the news was brought to his attention by Briseis, trying to master her spying, that his other cousin, Yasmin, was actually a bastard as well. Rashid took it upon himself to silence this rumor. A woman had apparently found out about the other father and threatened to make this known to the world. One way to keep her quiet was by sharing her bed, to keep her from talking, sacrificing himself for the sake of keeping his cousin safe from the same shame and ruin Briseis had to endure. After all, this gave the woman the attention she desired - being as devious and power-hungry as she was, she was more than satisfied to have a prince caught up in her sheets. Yasmin never knew about this, nor did her father, as her true heritage had been a secret that had been very well kept.

This, however, did not improve his reputation, with his people now calling him a whore behind his back. He had learned to live with his due to his dedication to keep his loved ones from getting hurt, always putting others above himself. And Yasmin, he very much loves. She is almost always around him, being his wingman when his friends are not around, keeping him sane most of the time. He protects her more fiercely than others, beating up every man who tries to hurt her feelings. The same can be said about his friends and his sisters, although, he knows his sisters are, most of the time, able to protect themselves.
