Personal Imagery

Sparrows hold special meaning for Iriniia. For her, they symbolize adaptability, curiosity, productivity, creativity, joy in the simple things of life, and are fiercely protective of their flocks. They are also vindictive little buggers, and this delights her. Her colors are midnight blue, black, and silvery gray. Her scribal signature is a small, rotund black sparrow. Her metalwork signature is the same, with the addition of a black hand to represent her affiliation with and apprenticeship to Master Muin.

Affiliations

  • Member of Taigh Ruadh, or "House of the Red". A loose family of mercenary Artisans and Bards, at one time a part of Anglesey.
  • Member of the Gameday Taverne. A household full of Very Helpful People(tm) who live to serve and play games of all kinds.

Master Muin maqq Minain should be consulted and notified of any court appearances as well. If possible, please also notify THL Mairi Crawford or Baroness Mari Clock van Hoorne, close friends of Iriniia, and much better at making sure she is presentable than Lord Runi.
