I had known of the SCA for many, many years - since about high school. My first attempt to join was not successful as there seemed to be a lack of organization in my local group at the time. I kept on the fringes, attending random events through the years. Finally, at long last, I have found a place to play and have enjoyed becoming more involved, learning, teaching, and growing.

Gnaea Celera is a 1st century Roman, of the middle class, who comes from a family of glassworkers. Being naturally curious, and as one who loves to work with her hands, she persisted until being allowed into the glass house.
