About the new characater

While the makers did not confirm any details about Souheila Yacoub’s character, it can be guessed she is playing Shishakli. In Frank Herbert’s book, it's written that there's a Fremen named - Shishakli, who lives in Sietch Tabr. One important part of the story is when Paul Atreides, the main character, has to go through a special test called - the sandrider trial. During this test, you have to ride a giant sandworm, which is quite dangerous. Shishakli sees that Paul doesn't have the right tools for the job, so she gives him his own special hooks to help him ride the worm safely.
