Sabiha



Sabiha (born circa 10197 AG) is a member of the clandestine Sietch known as Fondak (formerly Jacurutu, the niece of Namri, and the cousin ofJavid. She had dark hair and fair skin, deep-set blue-in-blue eyes with a greenish cast, a small nose and wide mouth above a sharp chin.

She and her father act as guardians for Leto II Atreides while he stays in custody of Gurney Halleck, and she nurses him when he is forced to undergo a spice trance. In the trance Leto foresees that he and Sabiha could become lovers in the future, but chooses to avoid this path in order to realize his own destiny and, after telling her of the vision, sending her into a confusion, sends her to sleep before escaping. They later meet again at Shuloch, where Sabiha is surprised to find him alive (he left into the desert with a sabotaged stillsuit in the midst of a sandstorm) and resentful to him for disgracing her and causing her banishment from Fondak. She later recognised his genuine feelings for her when he cried for the future with her he had forsaken at the goading of Muriz.

She was one of the first to see Leto's new skills at the beginning of his transformation.
