| '''HL Rashida bint Yusuf''' is mostly known for archery, marshaling, and asking how she can help you. She can also identify the insects in your encampment.

| |
| =Background and History=
| |
|
| |
| ==Historically Speaking==
| |
|
| |
| In July 1492, the Jews were expelled from Spain, and like many, Joseph the Tailor and his pregnant wife Mira left the country rather than convert. Also like many, they accepted the invitation from Sultan Bayezid II to settle in Ottoman lands and become citizens of the Ottoman Turkish empire.
| |
|
| |
| Said Bayezid II, The Just, in comment to Spain on the Inquisition and subsequent flood of Jews immigrating to his lands, "You venture to call Ferdinand a wise ruler, he who has impoverished his own country and enriched mine!" Indeed, Joseph and Mira found the Sephardic Jewish community in Istanbul welcoming, a place of learning and comparative religious freedom. Still a bit distrustful, given their recent experiences in Spain, Joseph and Mira decided that their new daughter should be integrated into the local community and named her "Rashida bint Yusuf", Rashida, the daughter of Joseph, according to Turkish convention.
| |
|
| |
| Rashida spent most of her time in the 1520s working with her father as a tailor`s assistant. As she made more and more deliveries to clients in the upper classes, she eventually found herself joining the ranks of Jewish women who were ''kiras'' to Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. A ''kira'' was a woman (usually Jewish, but also Greek or Albanian) who acted as personal merchants to the women of Suleiman’s harem, bringing them goods to buy from different markets.
| |
|
| |
| On these many trips to the Old Palace and the New Palace (Topkapi), buying and selling wares, Rashida would occasionally come across discarded items she might not have found otherwise….
| |
|
| |
| ==A Little More Modern==
| |
|
| |
| At some point, seeking greater freedom to travel, enamored with bow and armor scavenged from the streets, Rashida disguised herself and joined a caravan as a seamstress, seeking to explore a bigger world of possibilities. She eventually found her way to the northern isles, where an archer of great renown saw her shooting anonymously in a skirmish. He and his Lady took her under
| |
| their wing in their castle and estates.
| |
|
| |
| In these modern Middle Ages, Rashida is an Arcuarius-- a dependable target archer and a noted combat archer. When she stands still, a cloud of children sometimes forms around her, awaiting the next youth activity. When she`s on the move, and not doing archery or watching kids, she might be marshaling, dancing, beading, armoring, embroidering (sort of), being a waterbearer, or looking for a place to sit down. She has also rediscovered a great love of group sing-a-longs.
| |
| All knowledge is worth having, and Rashida loves nothing better than learning something new.
| |
|
| |
| ====Alternative History====
| |
| Occasionally, you can find Rashida shooting with the Chandler's Guild Militia of Gent under the name "Beatrix Iager".
