Born in crowded Beirut, the daughter of a merchant and a former thief, Naila Haniyah Kartal was raised aloof and vigilant. Granted some wealth, if not status, she functioned as a craftswoman and trader for her community -- while dealing with a rather tumultuous family dynamic.

Her father Levent Kartal's various infidelities and predilections caught up with him eventually: first in the arrival of Naila's young half-brother, Benjamin, and later in an awkward chance meeting with a wealthy merchant on the Athens trading route. These transgressions, as well as general family-related stress, led the Kartal children to seek a less densely populated home.

The Kartals departed for North America in winter of 2015, before the storm season, and enjoyed the east-to-west trade winds and warmer waters near the equator. They reached New Brunswick in March 2016 and sought shelter in Sapient in April after the meteor impact. They stayed throughout the spring and most of the summer, until a falling out between Faizel and Benjamin led the Beiruti Kartals to depart.
