Captain Raniya Ali (age 18). Her home unit is the Fifth Flight Group of the United Kingdom of Jazira's Allied Arabian Air Force, her callsign is Griffon 6, her nickname is the hunting dog of the desert, her strikers are MiG-31s, and later F-15DJAs. Her standard armament consists of the Minimi light machine gun and a shamshir (curved sword). Her familiar is the jackal. She was born to a Bedouin tribe on the outskirts of Mecca. Her magical power isn't particularly eye-catching, but she's always had very sharp eyesight. She became a witch of the Allied Arabian Air Force at age 15, and also participated in foreign air forces to beat back the Neuroi. To that end she distinguished herself as a top Jaziran ace with over 40 kills. During her fifth kill she lost her right eye, but amazingly it recovered and she gained the power of clairvoyance. She was deployed to the Sinai peninsula on a defensive mission at the outset of the Gulf Coast Neuroi War, and was quick to join up with the multinational Mediterranean forces. However, she had already lost her family in an air raid on Mecca. Afterwards, she was given the role of wingman to princess Samira, and fought until the capital was recaptured. She has it all together and is very reliable. Thus, she's frequently forced to do unreasonable things. "Princess, that's dangerous! Please, watch out for yourself! .....Oh, fine!" ◆ I know it's terribly self-centered of me, but since not always being able to think of good responses and due to various other things, Dirty Fox is going to have to stop responding to comments for a while. However, I've always read every comment that comes in, so please feel free to send me messages with your thoughts and questions.
