FATIMA
Fatima is the proxy for Famine and as her
sickly and emaciated appearance might suggest, she suffers from severe body
image problems. She constantly views herself as hideously overweight even
though she has a smaller waistline than Todd, and he's just a skeleton! She
refuses to listen when people try to convince her that she's too skinny,
believing instead that they're all just patronizing her. She also often has to
inform people that her name is pronounced fuh-TEE-muh, and will break
down in tears if anyone calls her FAT-uh-muh. She tends to dress mainly
in black since she read in one of her beauty and fashion magazines that black
was a slimming color. Despite her low self-esteem, Fatima is obsessed with
looking good, spending a small fortune every month on manicures, hair
treatments, cosmetics and luxury designer-brand clothing and accessories.
