THLady Khalida al-Khansa'
THLady Khalida al-Khansa' received a [[Crescent]] on 01/08/2010 from TRM [[Patrick and Kara]].


From a very young age, Khalida lived aboard her father's merchant vessel. Sailing mostly around the Mediterranean, Khalida learned drop spindle spinning(mostly wool, cotton and silk), weaving (Inkle and tablet) and how to put her observation skills to good use; training to become a spy. A quickly moving storm surprised the crew resulting in shipwreck. All were lost, except for a bedraggled Khalida, washed ashore the coast of Libya/Egypt. Rescued by a nomadic tribe, Khalida adapted quickly to her new life. Since her rescue she traveled into the Persian Empire where she  found employment in the household of Duchess Faizeh al-Zarqa. Her inkle loom trim adorns the entire household of Raq's b'Saif, as well as Sir Halldorr, Dame Ismay, Dame Luta and Dame Teka. Her newly developing skills in silk dying was accepted and worn by Her Excellency Eildih while on the Throne. Her Grace, Duchess Faizeh noticed Khalida's love of dance and has been instructing her in Persian court dance (as well as modern Orientale Middle Eastern dance).

THLady Khalida al-Khansa' received a Crescent on 01/08/2010 from TRM Patrick and Kara.

From a very young age, Khalida lived aboard her father's merchant vessel. Sailing mostly around the Mediterranean, Khalida learned drop spindle spinning (mostly wool, cotton and silk), weaving (Inkle and tablet) and how to put her observation skills to good use--training to become a spy. A quickly-moving storm surprised the crew, resulting in shipwreck. All were lost, except for a bedraggled Khalida, who washed ashore the coast of Libya/Egypt. Rescued by a nomadic tribe, Khalida adapted quickly to her new life.

Since her rescue, she traveled into the Persian Empire where she found employment in the household of Duchess Faizeh al-Zarqa. Her inkle loom trim adorns the entire household of Kabila al-Raqs B’Saif, as well as Sir Halldórr Þórhallsson, Dame Ismay of Giggleswick, Dame Valla Luta Kolladottir and Dame Teka Turmanov. Her newly-developing skills in silk dying was accepted and worn by Duchess Eilidh na Tire Dharigh during her first reign, along with Duchess Faizeh. The women of Raqs b' Saif also wear head veils dyed by Khalida in household and heraldic colors. Her Grace Duchess Faizeh noticed Khalida's love of dance and has been instructing her in Persian court dance (as well as modern Orientale Middle Eastern dance).

Lady Khalida lives in Persia in the 900s, although she can be seen every once in awhile in Viking.
