Recently, while other people from my area are going to Mainland France or other regions in my country for their studies, I choose to stay back home for the sake of my family and it's only a matter of time before I start going to university in 6 days.
Also, now that yesterday's solar eclipse is over, I have something to announce about a new series that I've been working on since prior to the season finale of Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi, which unlike the latter series will feature Yamini and Vidal as the main protagonists.
Starting from now, this series will now be known as Necromantic Phronesis, which reflects the different personalities of the protagonists.
Speaking of Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi, I'm also currently working on writing a prologue for its second season, which will be posted within the next few weeks except that the second season will be coming out sometime between late 2026 and early 2027.
Anyways, so moving on from Necromantic Phronesis and Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi, here's a brief recap between last month's character introductions and today's character introductions.
3 weeks after I drew Laurin, between the end of July and the beginning of August, I drew two new male characters within a week of each other, who we'll call Khalil and Hanan, and they both come from two completely different worlds.
Without further ado, let's introduce them right away.
1) Khalil (July 30th, 2026)
A somewhat lively university student of mixed Arab-Hausa descent, who's actively working towards his dream to become a hairdresser.
Growing up, despite spending most of his life in Spain, he came from a working class background with origins in the Maghreb and West Africa, and unlike other men his age, he loved caring for all kinds of hair and travelling abroad with his family.
In addition to his very passionate character, he also cares about other people around him and will try his best to help anyone in need when he can.
2) Hanan (August 6th, 2026)
An aspiring swordsman and a former student at the same magic school as Frostine and Makena.
Unlike the two of them, he comes from a family with roots in a former village located south of the Mount Elyria region and has a very complicated past with his own family.
After his mother's passing and his father's arrest, he lived in said village with his paternal grandparents until they and their family friends escaped north to rebuild their lives in Florian after losing their entire village in a wildfire caused by dangerous fireworks during a midsummer festival combined with decades of illegal slash and burn farming.
Fast-forward years later, after graduating from a magic school, he started training with a sword and decided to pursue his dream to become a swordsman.
Exceptionally, since I have a scheduled appointment with an ophthalmologist alongside my father and younger sisters tomorrow morning and going to university in 6 days, that's all about Khalil and Hanan in this post for today.
Aside from that, a summary of my first 3 days in university will be posted by the next weekend after my classes are over, so please look forward to it as well.
Until then, stay tuned for more updates from us, be it about my latest series Necromantic Phronesis and Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi or the unique stories involving the new characters or not.
UPDATE (as of August 22, 2026):
Wait, but this is not the end of Khalil and Hanan's story, as there's an another male character who will be joining them and Laurin soon.
Unlike them who are humans, he's a genie who will be appearing in Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi Season 2 alongside Reshma, so let's introduce him right away.
3) Talal (August 13th, 2026)
A long-lived genie, who currently lives inside Nahla's scrunchie.
Prior to becoming a genie, he was the grandson of the marabout who Najwa sought help from to get revenge on a neighboring kingdom for massacring her family.
Growing up, despite being manipulated by his father and uncles who were a bad influence on him by feeding him lies about her, he was the only person who was on her side and cared about her to the point where he had a falling out with his father and ran away from home only to never look back.
Some time after moving in with a distant cousin, he got into a fight with said cousin who turned him into a genie and sealed him inside a scrunchie over some vile accusations that she made up over him siding with Najwa over the inherited land from their grandfather.
Years later, the scrunchie where he was sealed inside by the distant cousin came in the hands of Nahla and her family, with him now working alongside her to help him break free from his curse.
That's all about Khalil, Hanan and Talal for today!
