Introduction
I am Lady Thurayyā bint Sitt al-Sirr(thu-RAY-ah bint sitt al-SEAR)- also known as Melmyra (mel-MEER-ah), Mel, or Myra (MEER -ah) (she/her) - I spent my early time in the SCA attending only a few events socially and most of that time was learning and performing as a bellydancer. I have recently started to become more involved in thrown weapons and archery. I enjoy fiber arts, trying my hand at calligraphy and illumination, sewing, and have spent time researching how to build a vardo.
Meaning of Thurayyā bint Sitt al-Sirr- is Pleaides, daughter of lady of secrets
Persona
