Biography

Ever since she first saw Handmaidens at a demonstration of their skills at the open house day of the Tabardariyya's Akhur House in Megido in 1993, she wanted to become a Handmaiden. She tried for the Al-Khansa Girls' Academy in Megido, but was not accepted as she didn't have a good enough test result.

Not one to give up on her dream, Saida graduated in 2004 and was drafted into Service, serving with the 6th Armoured Brigade as the loader on an Alsuyuf III Main Battle Tank. In 2006, she was placed into the Reserve, then joined a Handmaiden Academy for fulfilling her dream. There, she was mostly noted for her tenacity and perfectionism, which pushed her through.

As she had finished her education and training as a Handmaiden after two years, she was allowed to join the Handmaiden Corps of the Palace of the Ruby Hall in Megido in 2008. After another year as a trainee and novice, she was accepted as a full-fledged Handmaiden as part of the Musical Corps, playing at all sorts of festivities and concerts.

In 2014, Saida was assigned to Princess Fara bint-Dardan, who was freshly returning from her Service and began her studies at the University of Megido.

In 2019, almost a year later, she was in Teressien during the 2019 Ball at Schloss Zyng. Later that year, she accompanied her Mistress to the 2019 Festival of Holy Light.
