Tuaa

Tuaa was an Egyptian woman who lived in Soknopaiou Nesos during the reign of Ptolemy XIII.

Biography
Tuaa was originally from the city of Krokodilopolis in the Faiyum Oasis, working as a weaver sewing carpets for her father. However, Tuaa was not willing to sew carpets for the rest of her life and thus left the city. She later met an Egyptian man, whom she fell in love with and was later married to. Together, they settled down in Soknopaiou Nesos and would ocassionally climb up a cliff outside the village to watch herons feed their young.

Their marriage was short-lived however, as Tuaa's husband was later killed by a scorpion in 48 BCE. Deeply affected by her beloved's death, Tuaa attempted to commit suicide at the very cliff that she and her late husband would occasionally visit. However, she was stopped by the Medjay, Bayek, who caught sight of her when he left the village.

Bayek later gave Tuaa a heron feather, meant for her late husband. He explained to the widow that feathers were often used in Siwan rituals as a way to help the deceased move on to the afterlife, convincing Tuaa to give up the thoughts of suicide. Tuaa agreed, and was later escorted down the hills and later to the village docks. Tuaa thanked Bayek for his help, and informed him of her intentions to head down south or return to Krokodilopolis.

Tuaa eventually returned to Krokodilopolis, where she began narrating poetry as a way of comforting herself. Sometime later, while performing in the market, she was found by Bayek, who was suprised to see her. Tuaa later explained to Bayek she had yet to speak to her father and that poetry reading helped her to move on from her past.
