A lifetime of remarks about her ancestry, fire related puns, and jokes involving luminescent punchlines gave Afqala a mildly resentful inclination to subvert obvious expectations. For a short time she was able to focus her natural passions on study, a lifestyle that afforded her a chance to refine her tastes and to redirect her natural flair to a more subdued quality.
