Fatima is a girl that Santiago meets at a well at the Oasis. Originally, she seems uninterested. She somewhat dismisses everything that Santiago says. It seems like she doesn't want to be rude to Santiago. Santiago tells Fatima that he loves her, and she doesn't seem too excited, but she is startled by the news because she drops the water jug. Santiago tells her that the war is a blessing in disguise because he has met Fatima. She automatically looks for a reason to convince him otherwise. She says that "the war is going to end someday", as if the only reason he loves her is because of the war.
