Introduction

Her Ladyship Isolda Fairamay resides in the Canton of Seashire in the Barony of Ruantallan in the Crown Principality of Tir Mara as part of the Kingdom of the East. She has been a member of the SCA since March 2009. She is currently an "Aide de Camp" within Crimson Company. As of January 2017 she is apprenticed to Mistress Gwenhwyfar Dinas Emrys. Main areas of interest: Sewing period garments, gluten free cooking, illumination, creation of atmosphere with decorations at events, and a little bardic here and there.

Persona

No one quite knows for sure what the past has held for the shy and quiet fair maiden who entered a country inn on the southern shores of 14th century England one stormy night, drenched from head to toe and rather distraught, but not giving any specifics. The innkeeper was the first to meet Isolda Fairamay, providing her with a set of dry clothing and a warm bed for the night, not pressing for details.

Isolda's delicate manners coupled with the fineness of the linen and wool from which her clothes were made lead people to believe Isolda may have been of noble birth but she never treated anyone as if they were beneath her. Isolda was fiercely independent, rarely asking for assistance in any matter and her quietness gave her the ability to lend a good ear to all those who needed to empty their hearts.

Isolda soon left the inn to make a life of her own on these southern shores and has often been seen wandering the seaside, simply gazing upon the waves alone in contemplation. Locals have noticed, however, she has often been seen welcoming the company of a boisterous warrior with a mane of red hair into her humble abode, later giving birth to a beautiful girl of the same hair colour.
