Biography[]
Arab, surname unknown, was a young Asian American woman from San Francisco, California. As a teenager she fell in with the wrong crowd, and her actions ultimately led to her being shipped off to Camp New Horizons in New York. There she was paired with other low income kids from the wrong side of the tracks, as well as upper-class well-to-do kids. Arab did not go out of her way to build any lasting relationships, though she did express an intense interest in the male members of the campsite.
Another camper at Camp New Horizons was Maria Nicastro, who was actually the serial killer known as Angela Baker in disguise. Angela determined that Arab's bad attitude, lack of modesty and promiscuous demeanor made her a target of her rage.
Angela told Arab that campground co-owner Herman Miranda decided to switch Arab's camping troupe with Angela's. Angela escorted Arab to where the other campers were set up and baited her into entering a tent, telling her that two of the male campers were within. When she crawled through the entrance to the tent, she quickly realized that this was a lie. Angela booted her fully into the tent, then took up an axe and waited for Arab to re-emerge. When her head was visible outside of the tent curtain, Angela brought the axe down upon her, decapitating her.
