Shahzada al-Zahra (fka Shahzada Isfahani) joined the Society at the age of 13 after attending a demonstration at her school. Shahzada is originally from the East Kingdom, in Barony of Concordia of the Snows. Shahzada moved to the Middle Kingdom, Barony of the Cleftlands, in 2017. Shahzada is known for natural henna body art, 'blinging out' her garb, her gregarious personality, a passion for demonstrations and welcoming new members, and for having a case of 'helium hand' for service.

== Persona ==
Shahzada al-Zahra (fka Shahzada Isfahani) is an Islamic Persian noblewoman from the city of Isfahan, the capital of the Safavid Persian Empire, during the time of Shah Abbas the Great. Isfahan is entering its Golden Age of culture, architecture, and prestige. It is here that she has learned of the court of the Mughal emperor, Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar, called Akbar the Great. He has a great love of culture of foreign peoples and lands, and surrounds himself with such in his Court. Shah Abbas has been trying to rekindle peace with the Mughals, and ambassadors and envoys go between the two capitals. Shahzada has gone with them and is currently at the Mughal court, where she participates in the culture and arts, and has begun to adopt some Mughal fashion (especially jewelry) into her own. There are even Ottomans at court whom she has befriended and swaps clothing with, even though their empires are enemies. She is enjoying exploring the traditions and culture of this new land. Shahzada enjoys the art and traditions of henna adornment and has welcomed many into the art through various henna classes.

Shahzada is both an apprentice and protégé to Dame [[Elizabethe Alles]].
