Introduction

My name is Scolastica Capellaria. I have been involved in the SCA since May of 2019. I was once a medieval art history student, fascinated with art objects that sat on museum shelves undocumented, unseen and often unloved. I wrote my undergraduate Honors Thesis on Ivory Mirror cases from the fourteenth century and explored the topics of courtly love, chess, and ivory carving production which exploded during this period. Fast forward six years, a carrier change, and a move across the country, I was watching costume making videos on youtube and stumbled across Morgan Donner making a medieval cotehardie. For the first time, I realized I could not only do the things that I loved, making historical costumes, researching medieval artwork, and eating delicious foods, but I could do those things with other like minded people.

In the SCA I am most interested in the arts and sciences and I dabble (and I mean dabble) in archery. I specialize in historic garb research and patterning and to say I do embroidery in my free time is an understatement. Something about stabbing the needle through fabric gives me great joy. I don't know what it is.

Persona

Scolastica is a lady from no particular time or place. Her greatest joy in life is learning new things, researching very old things, and discussing these things with others. She loves to make things. Her favorite thing to research is garb, and she has a fondness of hats, mainly because she has to hide from the sun. She often can be found embroidering in the shade, eating cubes of cheese wherever they can be found, and smiling and waving at her favorite combatants on the field. She is a lover of games, and if you ask nicely she will gladly play Nine Man's Morris, Chess, or her favorite: fox and geese. Like many a medieval lady she enjoys sport on occasion and will try her hand at archery (though she is quite terrible at it, she does her best to have fun and enjoy the sport). Scolastica is a lover of poetry and the songs of troubadours and does very much enjoy discussing the rules of courtly love. After spending her life indoors among her books, Scolastica has recently found great joy in camping and being outside, though her constitution is often weak and causes her to seek shade and refreshment frequently.
