Introduction
Active off and on from 1999 to 2010, she really began participating around 2010 and hasn't stopped since. She has trouble not stepping up when jobs need doing or she has one her "ideas".
She is a member of Darostur and can often be found with the trouble makers from Quintavia plotting to take over the kingdom. /joking
Between running events, teaching classes, judging competitions, creating scrolls, and generally being helpful, she is often found pondering how to do things differently in an effort to make the future better.
She became an apprentice to Master Xandra Rozina Xiberras Galea (Rozi) at Gulf Wars in 2015, and is of the Ygraine of Kellswood line of scribes, though only as a student.
She also runs a scribal supply store named Crafty Mice that pops up at Birka, but will travel to events where it makes sense. She will gladly sell you a new hobby, or add another layer to your existing hobbies.
Interests include: (in no particular order) Every day material culture, Embroidery, Casting, Carving, Preserving food, Archery, Scribal Arts, Mice, Chickens, Cats, and Enabling.
Persona
