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


Khalida al-Khansa is the daughter of a seafaring merchant. She travelled frequently with him and the rest of the family from the British Isles to Italy and Egypt. However, a shipwreck killed all but Khalida, who washed ashore in North Africa. At first, taken in by a Bedouin tribe, she was eventually captured and sold into slavery. Sold to the household of Duchess Faizeh al-Zarqa, she is repsonsible for running the household and watching over the Rose.
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.  


Khalida is currently the protegee of Dame Ismay of Giggleswick. If not hanging out with her pelican, she could be with her once foster family led by Duke Edward and Duchess Mora.  
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).


Khalida's interests are in Persian dance, spinning, weaving, dying, illumination, research, anything coffee related and everything that pertains to the comfort of friends and kin.
Lady Khalida lives in Persia in the 900s, although she can be seen every once in awhile in Viking.

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).
