== Introduction ==
Anéžka Liška z Kolína (she/they) came to the Society in AS 51 because she collects hobbies and the SCA is basically just one big collection of hobbies; she stayed because it's also a monument to enthusiasm and interconnected communities. Her main passion is heraldry, with a specialty in Czech onomastics, though she recently began studying Italian rapier and has rapidly fallen just as deeply in love with it — look for her among the heralds or the fencers, at most events. 

Anéžka is also enthusiastic about weaving, calligraphy, music (particularly harp music), pottery, connecting people to other people, shenanigans, being useful, and probably plenty of other things they just haven't dipped a toe into yet. 


== Persona ==
Anéžka lives in late 14th/early 15th century Bohemia, in the town of Kolín; anything more precise than that is yet to be determined.

== In Case of Court ==
When planning awards for Anéžka, surprises are welcome but by no means required. Because community is important to them, however, please do not keep awards a surprise from their family and friends, particularly [[Gavin Kent]], [[Remy Delamontagne de Gascogne]], and Stephen Reynard le Strange. Please also notify the relevant Order prior to the award. Awards in Ethereal Court are acceptable.

Scrolls created and read by her friends are preferred, as are scroll texts based explicitly on period sources. Despite being primarily focused on Czech (and always appreciative of Czech sources!), she also has great fondness for Middle English and Latin, and particularly enjoys the many inconsistent spelling variations found in period texts.

A note about pronouns: as you may notice from this page, "she/they" is a fully interchangeable set of pronouns; neither one is more preferred than the other.<br>
A note about titles: should Anéžka receive a grant-level award, ''please'' do not use THL for them. They have strong opinions about this post-period form of address and will use Lady until they are entitled to something else. Most of the time, though, they go without a title, as the important titles to them are heraldic ones, and those aren't appropriate for every situation.

== More Information ==
Pronunciation: ah-NEZH-kah LISH-kah zkoh-LEEN-ah (IPA: [ˈanɛʒka lɪʃka z koliːna]) - the standalone "z" is very subtle, more like you're saying "lishka's koleena".  Yes, this is a nonsense Czech name. Yes, she did this to herself. No, she's not going to be offended if you get it wrong.

Anéžka does not have a Peer or official mentor at this time; if you have feedback for them, please feel free to seek them out and deliver it directly. However, the majority of their rapier instruction comes from Remy, so commentary on that can also be directed to him.
