Introduction

Lady Maryna Borowska (mka Blueberry (yes, really)) joined the Society on a whim in May 2018. She resides in the Barony of Bhakail and hangs around with the Black Boot Company.

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Persona

No persona. The name Maryna is late-period Polish - interests lie generally in Germanic and Slavic regions and taste runs to the late end (13th-16th centuries). Don't let the Viking garb confuse you too much.

Pani Borówka (the Polish word for "blueberry") is a culturally appropriate nickname/cant.

In Case of Court

Surprises are strongly preferred. My wife does not play. Contact Mari Clock van Hoorne if you wish to ensure my friends or partner will be present. I would prefer not to receive awards in Ethereal Court.

I appreciate the hard work of the scribes of the East and will cherish any scrolls I receive, though if you really want to know, my personal taste runs to late period (the busier the better). I love all kinds of animals and flowers.

Preferences

I do not wear or use leather or other forms of animal skin.

Please use vegetable paper for scrolls and vegan/synthetic leather alternatives for garb or accessories. This is somewhat flexible if the skin can be determined to be ethically sourced (humanely treated and all parts used of the animal) but is a strong general preference. (Wool or other animal products that leave the animal alive are fine.)

I also have a sensory aversion to unfinished or "raw" wood.


Food: I do not eat beef. I am also very sensitive to many spices. In general, vegetarian or poultry-based options are preferred.

Drink: The sweeter the better!
