Rojda, the spirited daughter of King Kardox and Queen Zilan, was a child of boundless curiosity and unyielding determination. From a young age, she displayed a fiery spirit that set her apart from the traditional expectations placed upon princesses. While other girls her age were content with delicate dresses and proper manners, Rojda preferred to run wild in the vast expanse of Kurdistan’s untamed wilderness. Her adventurous spirit led her on countless expeditions through the dense forests and rolling hills. Rojda had an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and she would eagerly learn about the plants and animals that thrived in the natural world around her. Her favorite pastime was chasing butterflies, their vibrant colors mirroring the intensity of her own spirit.

She would sneak off to the training grounds, determined to master the art of combat, just like her father, King Kardox. The clashing of her wooden blade against imaginary foes echoed the defiance in her heart. As she grew older, Rojda became increasingly aware of the limitations imposed upon her by society’s gender norms.

Her skills with the sword soon rivaled those of seasoned warriors, earning her respect and admiration from her father’s soldiers. As time passed, Rojda’s bravery and defiance became the stuff of legends throughout Kurdistan. She had become a symbol of female empowerment and a fierce advocate for gender equality.
