Restless, daring, and an expert in fireworks.

Aisha is a bright, curious, and restless girl. She can't stand the long and boring hours she spends with her father learning calligraphy, a family craft he has tried to impose on her since her mother's death. However, Aisha is much more active and dreams of becoming the best pyrotechnic artist, like Master Hao, whom she admires deeply.

Cunning, imposing, and with an insatiable desire for power.

Muhtadi is the uncle of the young caliph and Nura, and serves as the qadi of the city, being the highest authority in justice. He is an elegant man, with an imposing presence and great strength, but he hides an excessive ambition: to take the throne of his brother, the former caliph, whom he has always envied and whom many suspect he may have killed.

Sweet, cautious, and with a noble heart.

Nura is Aisha's best friend and the califa's sister. She is a kind, attentive, and obedient girl. The sudden loss of her parents has made her more cautious and careful in her actions and how she perceives her surroundings. She always accompanies Aisha on her adventures and mischiefs, but from the background, maintaining a prudent distance from any potential danger.

Wise, patient, and guardian of knowledge.

Ahmad is Aisha's father, the scribe of the grand and prestigious palace library, and a trusted man of the young caliph. For him, knowledge is the only path to becoming a better person. Reflective, methodical, and patient, only the rebellion of his daughter Aisha is capable of driving him crazy.
