The character titled Bloody Nasreen is a 27-year-old girl-next-door from Pakistan who dispatches villains with sword and gun while tackling corruption and human trafficking.
Designed and conceptualized by Shahan Zaidi, Bloody Nasreen wears skull-printed kameez with churidar and sneakers – none of what girls her age would wear and shockingly even smokes.

Zaidi said that he chose to give her a common name that everyone can relate to. According to the artist, Nasreen fights a war against terrorism, human trafficking, corruption and injustice, and thinks that stupid is more evil, than evil.
Zaidi hopes to publish the novel by October this year, while a film is already in the pre-production phase.

Nasreen has attracted enormous attention on social media and generated plenty of debate, especially over her outfit, which does not include a dupatta (scarf).
