Introduction

Lady Anna Elisabetta joined the SCA in 2013 after meeting Lady Olivia Baker during Queen Elizabeth's progress through the farms of Indian Ladder in the Barony of Concordia. Prior to this, Anna and family had traveled the world on various Naval expeditions, having seen both the lands of the Far East, and various ports in Europe. As a result, she amassed quite a collection of fabrics, as well as a taste for exotic spices and their various uses.

Anna Elisabetta loves to teach others about the stories, arts, and food she has learned overseas, particularly to children, as she has 5 of her own. If you don't see her and her family dancing at one of the late night revelries, you can find her either with needle or spoon in hand at House Asgar, or lending a hand in Willow’s Keep where she serves as protégé to Mistress Eikaterine tin Elliniki.

Persona

Daughter of a high ranking Spanish Naval officer, Anna grew up exposed to her father’s sea stories of far off lands. As a child, she was lucky enough to accompany her father on a trip to the Far East, where she not only lived in Japan, but picked up the language and a taste for their food.

Lady Anna met her husband, Lord Balthazar Meinhardt at a Naval Ball held by her father during trade negotiations. He was a German Naval Officer, in service to Queen Elizabeth I. They bonded over a shared love of overseas travel and food.

While her husband, Balthazar, is going on adventures with Privateers, Anna and her 5 children live at court, where Anna has been known to sneak into the kitchen and use her vast knowledge of exotic spices to make treats for the Queen.

Interests

Anna enjoys period cooking, embroidery, dancing, and making garb for her children. She makes soap from the finest oils from Spain and Aleppo. She recently picked up scribal and illumination, and dabbles in Pysanki.
