Annika Björnsdóttir hails from the Barony of Iron Bog. Some call it... ''New Jersey''. Annika has so far fallen in love with the SCA; her local barony especially. She feels that the people of Iron Bog are amazing, and that she is lucky to live in such a place. Annika (called Nika for short), is a scribe, and loves creating artwork for people. While she does love getting positive reactions to her work, she really feels that it's a special thing she can do for her barony (and the Kingdom) in contribution to the whole of what we do.


I'm Annika! I live in Iron Bog, and have fallen in love with just about every other Boggie I've met so far. They're such amazing people, and I feel lucky to live in this barony. I'm a scribe, and I love creating artwork for people. Of course I love getting positive reactions to my work, but really I feel that it's something special that I can do for my barony (and the Kingdom) in contribution to the whole of what we do.
Annika joined the SCA in 2015, and still has much yet to learn of it. Her first event was May-Be in her home Barony. There she saw, for the very first time, a large display of the Scribal Arts, and the beautiful works of art called award scrolls. Right then and there Annika knew she needed to be a part of the scribal world. She was immediately driven to learn all she could of the scribal arts, and for the very next year's May-Be in 2016, she had created her first two scrolls, which were awarded at that event. After the 2017 May-Be (for which she'd done 3 scrolls, and gave a class on Scribal Arts), she felt ready to do Kingdom level scrolls and has since become a full-fledged scribe in service to the Crown. Annika is of a mind that learning never ends, so she continually works to advance her skills, and increase her knowledge, so she might better serve both the good gentles of her Barony, and the greater realm of the East Kingdom.


I'm still new to the SCA, and I have much to learn of it. My first event was May-Be in 2015. At the next year's May-Be event in 2016, I had done two scrolls which were awarded at that same event. After the 2017 May-Be (for which I'd done 3 scrolls, and gave a class on Scribal Arts), I feel I am ready to move on to Kingdom level scrolls, and explore more aspects of the SCA.

Introduction

Annika Björnsdóttir hails from the Barony of Iron Bog. Some call it... New Jersey. Annika has so far fallen in love with the SCA; her local barony especially. She feels that the people of Iron Bog are amazing, and that she is lucky to live in such a place. Annika (called Nika for short), is a scribe, and loves creating artwork for people. While she does love getting positive reactions to her work, she really feels that it's a special thing she can do for her barony (and the Kingdom) in contribution to the whole of what we do.

Annika joined the SCA in 2015, and still has much yet to learn of it. Her first event was May-Be in her home Barony. There she saw, for the very first time, a large display of the Scribal Arts, and the beautiful works of art called award scrolls. Right then and there Annika knew she needed to be a part of the scribal world. She was immediately driven to learn all she could of the scribal arts, and for the very next year's May-Be in 2016, she had created her first two scrolls, which were awarded at that event. After the 2017 May-Be (for which she'd done 3 scrolls, and gave a class on Scribal Arts), she felt ready to do Kingdom level scrolls and has since become a full-fledged scribe in service to the Crown. Annika is of a mind that learning never ends, so she continually works to advance her skills, and increase her knowledge, so she might better serve both the good gentles of her Barony, and the greater realm of the East Kingdom.

Main interests include blacksmithing, metalworking, calligraphy and illumination. Other interests include All The Things.

Persona

My persona is'nt fully developed. It's a portrayal of a Hiberno-Norse woman of Ireland, living roughly near the 11th century. Basically an Irish Viking.
