Ramallo
From Dune
This article or section refers to elements from Original Dune.
Ramallo was the Fremen Sayyadina, or rogue Reverend Mother of Sietch Tabr. She lived during the time House Atreides came to administer Arrakis under Imperial decree in 10,191AG.
Ramallo was a Fremen woman who had taken the Water of Life and changed it successfully, thus unlocking her Other Memory. She was a mother figure and a woman of wisdom for the Fremen of Sietch Tabr.
Upon her death from extreme old age, Ramallo was succeeded by the Lady Jessica, a Bene Gesserit adept.
[edit] Behind the Scenes
There is evidence that Ramallo may have been a Bene Gesserit herself that went rogue from the Missionaria Protectiva, who had planted myths and legends on Arrakis eons before the arrival of the Atreides. However, no direct evidence for this exists.
