Farah Sabri, a character in The Deadliest Game series, is one of Nick Gallant's closest friends. She is also one of your love interests. She is first seen in The Deadliest Gambit, Chapter 1.
Appearance
Farah has long curly brown hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin. She wears a purple and golden sparkling dress with a matching necklace and matching earrings.
Personality
Farah initially comes across as a very flirtatious and somewhat airheaded party girl who only cares about having a good time. She either takes nothing seriously or responds overdramatically to minor inconveniences, and she resists anything that resembles work unless it's in pursuit of her own entertainment.
Once she drops the act, she reveals herself to be intelligent, highly intuitive, and extremely cautious about tipping her hand to anyone who doesn't know her true self. She's fiercely passionate about her chosen cause and works hard to maintain the skillset and public persona which allow her to pursue that cause. Farah's a loyal friend, and she's able to compartmentalize well enough to think highly of people even if they haven't earned her trust. Most of her relationships have to remain shallow in order to safeguard her secrets, and she admits that loneliness is the hardest part of her criminal lifestyle.
Background
Farah's parents died when she was young and she was raised by her artist grandfather. He was a loving guardian, but his paintings of Cairo didn't sell well enough to cover his debts. His creditors took his studio and all his artwork when Farah was seventeen, leaving him so heartbroken that she resolved to get the paintings back at any cost. She took years to find them and months to get close to the businessman who now owned them, but she was eventually able to steal the paintings back by simply borrowing a nice dress and walking into the man's parties like she belonged there.
This sparked off a career of sorts as an international art thief who specializes in repatriating artifacts looted from their home countries during colonization. As far as the public is concerned, Farah is a jet-setting socialite who's famous for being famous, but all her travel and high-society partying is merely a cover for her to carefully plan and enact her art heists.

Your Character
Farah is one of your love interests.
Nick Gallant
Nick is one of the very few people Farah ever trusted and the only one who knew the full extent of her criminal activities before she's forced to reveal that information to you, Dante, and Jun. Nick caught her clumsily attempting to steal a statuette early in her career, but instead of turning her in as she'd expected, he wanted to know what she was doing and why. Once she explained the history of colonial art theft, he again surprised Farah by agreeing with her and deciding to bankroll her efforts. Aside from being criminal accomplices, however, the two of them truly enjoyed each other's company and became very close friends. They often communicated in a sort of informal code made up of carefully-chosen phrases, slightly-stressed individual words, and significant eye contact.[2] Farah was one of the only people who knew of Nick's plans to give up all his wealth, as well as his moral reasoning for making that decision, and she's both saddened and angered that he never got the chance to change his life the way he wanted to.
Jun Seong
Farah has a high opinion of Jun despite her certainty that he would turn her into the authorities if he became aware of her criminal activities. Much of this is a simple acknowledgement of his abilities, as she always took extra precautions to maintain her cover around him and still wasn't entirely able to avoid rousing his suspicions, such as when he assumed she was responsible for a locked door opening behind his back in Chapter 2 of The Deadliest Gambit. However, she also seems to like his company and particularly enjoys teasing him, which she continues to do relentlessly even after he learns her secrets.

Trivia
- Her crimes include theft and smuggling.
- If you compare Farah to Catwoman upon learning she's a professional thief, Farah replies that would be accurate if Catwoman were a bi Egyptian woman without the tolerance for latex or cat fur. This confirms both her canon bisexuality and her country of origin.
- In a Chapter 10 premium scene, Farah reveals that she researched you because Nick talked about you so often, and that she already knew details like your age prior to meeting you. If you ask her age in return, she'll only reveal that the two of you share the same birth year and that she's a Scorpio.
- In the same scene, Farah explains that she studied tapes of herself to learn her own tells. Once she noticed her tendency to nervously fiddle with her earrings, she began wearing sharp diamond studs to dissuade herself from playing with them.
- Reading Medhani's medical notes in Chapter 11 reveals that Farah reported environmental allergies such as ragweed and pollen. She broke her arm at age seven and has a long history of sprains and other minor injuries, but Medhani otherwise characterized her as being in peak physical condition.
