Introduction

Lady Urrāka al-Tha`labiyya (the wiki apparently can't handle accents for page names). Fencer and sewer-of-things, now a resident of Atlantia.

Persona

14th century Andalusian. By day I work on a horse farm, by night I train avidly with my sword that I may be ready to answer when my kingdom calls me to battle.... And yeah I guess that could probably be period accurate for my persona too ;P
