Dear Ayesha–
the Truth comes out!

You’re secretly Canadian! 
Canadian?? Here’s the quote:Central to the novel [Rider Haggard’s “She: A History of Adventure”] is a mysterious and implacable queen called Ayesha, the ‘White Witch’ of a fearsome tribe called the Amahagger who ruled a lost African kingdom in the isolated valley of Kor.
The story proved extremely popular, and Haggard, who also wrote King Solomon’s Mines and was knighted in 1912, went on to write a further three books with the all-powerful female character at its centre.

However, Ayesha is quite versatile - she’s also a Washington, D.C. restaurateur:
Yes, RTFirefly–but if you read the article, she’s based on a Native American woman from Canada.
The movie kicks ass. Amazing sets. A-ma-zing.
Now Bosda baby, you know that your own darlin’ Aye is pure Texas heat.
Call me Canadian again and I will be forced to punish you. Wait. no I won’t because I know you love it when I do.
Not that there is anything wrong with being Canadian, some of my best friends are.
Hey, cool. Thanks for highlighting that article. Dease, hunh?
Not really surprising, though. The First Nations women up here are ummmm, strong of character. One of the best ways to encourage jerks of First Nations descent to find other places to be is to tell 'em, “I know your Gramma. Don’t make me go talk to her!” (The fact that Gramma can straight-arm her grandchildren two feet into the air may have something to do with it.)
Wonder if it was Rhondie’s great-great grandmother…I’ll have to ask her sometime.
