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.
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.
