Home

The Barony of Aquaterra, in the Western region of the  Kingdom of An Tir, has been my home since I started in the SCA in 2011. I’ve mostly spent my time volunteering as much as life allows but have been working towards a better balance between that and my efforts at the arts as time goes on. Helping folk navigate this Dream and finding their joy within it, while also exploring and being challenged in my various artistic interests, has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life.

Persona

Born in Florence to a banker who arranged my betrothal to another banker’s son for the sake of strengthening both families.  Together, my husband and I moved to Venice to build the family’s investments in real estate.  Now it’s the 1560’s and I’m widowed and spending my time and energy supporting the arts, doing my best to add to the prestige of my family by continuing to run the estate and support the local artisans of various types.

(I can more often be seen wearing my basic tunics than my persona’s gowns for the sake of convenience or suitability for volunteering, but I do have plans to remedy this!)
