In Case of Court

Surprises are preferred. My partner comes to events very infrequently. Contact Iriniia Mieszkowna if you wish to ensure my friends or partner will be present.

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!
