Ill Omen: There is no concept of luck in Islam, but Khadijah's mother lived a long time ago, and carried with her certain superstitions. Like children being born in the first 13 days of the month of Safar. Guess when Khadijah was born?
Jumped-in Ventrue: It's a long story. She'll tell you someday. But she was never intended to be Ventrue and lacks the more stereotypical qualities most Lords possess.
Tried as a Witch?: CLICK BAIT!! ha ha She almost was, but her sire managed to smuggle her out of Iran and into Saudi Arabia where she was eventually successfully presented to the Ventrue there.
Did She Mention?: Not to brag or anything, but Khadijah knows three languages: Farsi, Arabic and now English.
Mad Skillz: During her time in Saudi Arabia, she studied a lot and made a lot of contacts she still has tonight. Specifically, jewelers and arms dealers.
Did Someone Say Arms Dealers?: If so it definitely wasn't Khadijah... <.< >.>
Coming to America: Mister Sebastian Barlowe's sire helped connect the two so Khadijah could help deal with some domain in the Downtown Los Angeles area.
Friends in Low Places: Khadijah is intimately connected with the Calle 13 street gang who help her get her product to market in the United States.
And Even Lower Places: And Calle 13 is intimately connected with the Arab Mafia in the Anaheim/Orange County area.
Treasures and Trinkets: On the brighter side, the very fashion-conscious Khadijah does a booming import business of jewelry from the Middle East. She even designs pieces herself.
