Past:
Señor Carlos was famous for stillborn offspring. After three wives and a discouraging history of stillborn and miscarried potential heirs, the household may have been unfairly surprised when Hadil was born to his latest wife’s nurse, al-Zakiyya. Of course, this being his first living, healthy, robust child, the Señor was overjoyed – even if she was a bastard, and girl to boot. He spoiled her, making no secret of her parentage. Pertty al-Zakiyya was sent home with her shame and a handsome pension, and would die of a fever before ever seeing her daughter again. Meanwhile Hadil spent a happy babyhood as a spoiled little lady – that is, until the birth of her half-brother, Álvaro. Reality descended like a storm, for the fifth wife of Señor Carlos had given her own life bringing his legitimate son and heir into the world.

Hadil’s world changed. No longer her father’s little pet, the servants ceased to treat her like a princess and began to treat her as one of their own (some nicely, some with piles of chores.) The Señor cared only for his son and idolising the noblewoman that had died giving birth to him, and Hadil’s initial tantrums were brusquely punished or completely unheeded. Eventually, Hadil settled reluctantly into her newfound role of servant, dreaming of a time when she could break free of the indignity. When she was thirteen, she was approached by her father’s mistress: Doña Maria. Maria was a courtesan who had long dazzled Hadil with her beauty, style and grace – and so when Maria told Hadil that she was the daughter of a fisherman, the young woman was astonished. How did one become such a lady?

So it was that Hadil picked up with Doña Maria, who taught her everything she knew in return for half of her wages. It was a hard living, but as she gained skill in her new trade and a name in the business, she was able to assert her independence. When she was seventeen she had saved enough to break free entirely, and she left for Granada. There she successfully plied her trade until she turned twenty-five; it was then she decided that her prestige had reached its peak for her profession, and that in order to increase it, she needed a certain amount of respectability. She wanted to become marriageable. She secured a position in the palace training and managing female slaves destined for male entertainment. She took on the nickname al-Mu`allima, ‘the teacher’. She was a strict mistress, driving the dancers to exhaustion each day and broaching no argument. She became quite talented with devising punishments that left no marks on the valuable bodies in her charge.
