===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
====2019 - 2020====<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====2021 - 2022====<br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

===Populace Provided Information:===<br />
====[[Zubeydah]]====<br />
Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />
<br />
===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />

===Affiliations:===<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
===Mundane Information:===<br />
I'm a full time college student; History major. My schedule is, despite being extremely regular, also somehow extremely unpredictable. If you need me to be somewhere or do something for an event, please tell me WAY in advance.<BR><br />
<br />
That said... if you'd like digital art made of your heraldry or achievement, toss me an email at chufuhuzhen@gmail.com. Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about an hour or so, DEPENDING ON what else I may have to do (if I'm at work it has to wait), since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Special Needs:====<br />
* I can't have much caffeine. It makes my anxiety worse and causes some heart issues.<br />
* I have anxiety and panic issues. If a serious conversation (pertaining to me in a negative way) needs to be had, please try to have it in private. This is because I often start crying during such conversations due to ingrained responses. I am working on it.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====In Case of Court:====<br />
PLEASE tell me in advance that I'll need to be at a particular event. How you say it is entirely up to you; make up some sort of job you 'need me to do' or something. I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are basically none, for the vast majority of events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

====Arthur Blackmoon====<br />
For those of you who never had the pleasure of knowing William Blackfox, he was an amazing man , talented in many fields, and he could always see the funny side of anything . I've been a manic depressive most of my life, but to be honest, I firmly believe that no one could be near Blackfox for more than a few minutes and still be depressed. William Blackfox was just that kind of person. I miss him still. : ( - ''[[Arthur Blackmoon]], Barony of [[Northkeep]]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====[[How William Blackfox Got Me To Court]]====<br />
(See link above)<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====Master [[Chidiock the Younger]]====<br />
''''WILLIAM BLACKFOX'''<BR><br />
The pipes are stilled, no longer will they sound,<BR><br />
To herald the beginning of a court,<BR><br />
No more with joy will revels now abound,<BR><br />
Nor will his voice of songs raise in support.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
The quill laid down will not be used again,<BR><br />
To tell Warthaven's tale in simple frames,<BR><br />
No longer at his wit shall we all grin,<BR><br />
Nor smile at his parodies of names.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Such a great soul gone, in but a blink,<BR><br />
And we are left to mourn in sorrow deep,<BR><br />
And though to his fond memory I'll drink,<BR><br />
For now I can do nothing else but weep.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Oh William, it was too soon to depart,<BR><br />
We who remain will hold you in our hearts.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====Why Blackfox Was Known as "Catkiller"====<br />
by [[Ragnar of Ragnar's Rock]]<BR><br />
Well, because he played the bagpipes. And when you don't play the bagpipes well at the beginning, everyone says, "oh, well, he's killing the cat." So anyway - Namron - out at the lake. 1980s. We're out there, and there's this huge mundane party across the lake that's got rock n roll music, and is just harshing the vibe. Messing with our medieval. So people started yelling, "Send down Catkiller!" So they send Blackfox down to the edge of the lake, and he just lets go. As loud as he can be. And before you know it, you hear from across the lake, "What the hell IS that?! Let's get out of here!" And the music stops, and you hear cars start up, and they leave. They'd been frightened away by the sound of him playing the bagpipes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====Trivia====<br />
* Per Master [[Robin of Gilwell]], "William Blackfox made sashes for all the local marshalls back in the early 1980s." (11/02/2023)<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* Best known as the artist for Warthaven.<br />
* To honor his memory, the Office of the Society Chronicler sponsors the annual Master William Blackfox Awards to recognize excellence in the work of Chroniclers and newsletter contributors. In 2007, the award was extended to recognize SCA Websites.<br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
====2019 - 2020====<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====2021 - 2022====<br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

===Populace Provided Information:===<br />
====[[Zubeydah]]====<br />
Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />
<br />
===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />
<BR><br />

<br />
===Mundane Information:===<br />
I'm a full time college student; History major. My schedule is, despite being extremely regular, also somehow extremely unpredictable. If you need me to be somewhere or do something for an event, please tell me WAY in advance.<BR><br />
<br />
That said... if you'd like digital art made of your heraldry or achievement, toss me an email at chufuhuzhen@gmail.com. Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about an hour or so, DEPENDING ON what else I may have to do (if I'm at work it has to wait), since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Special Needs:====<br />
* I can't have much caffeine. It makes my anxiety worse and causes some heart issues.<br />
* I have anxiety and panic issues. If a serious conversation (pertaining to me in a negative way) needs to be had, please try to have it in private. This is because I often start crying during such conversations due to ingrained responses. I am working on it.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====In Case of Court:====<br />
PLEASE tell me in advance that I'll need to be at a particular event. How you say it is entirely up to you; make up some sort of job you 'need me to do' or something. I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are basically none, for the vast majority of events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />

===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />

<br />
===Mundane Information:===<br />
I'm a full time college student; History major. My schedule is, despite being extremely regular, also somehow extremely unpredictable. If you need me to be somewhere or do something for an event, please tell me WAY in advance.<BR><br />
<br />
That said... if you'd like digital art made of your heraldry or achievement, toss me an email at chufuhuzhen@gmail.com. Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about an hour or so, DEPENDING ON what else I may have to do (if I'm at work it has to wait), since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Special Needs:====<br />
* I can't have much caffeine. It makes my anxiety worse and causes some heart issues.<br />
* I have anxiety and panic issues. If a serious conversation (pertaining to me in a negative way) needs to be had, please try to have it in private. This is because I often start crying during such conversations due to ingrained responses. I am working on it.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====In Case of Court:====<br />
PLEASE tell me in advance that I'll need to be at a particular event. How you say it is entirely up to you; make up some sort of job you 'need me to do' or something. I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are slim, for most events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
====2019 - 2020====<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====2021 - 2022====<br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />

Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />
<br />
===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
===Affiliations:===<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
===Mundane Information:===<br />
I'm a full time college student with a job. History major. My schedule is, despite being extremely regular, also somehow extremely unpredictable. If you need me to be somewhere or do something for an event, please tell me WAY in advance.<BR><br />
<br />
That said... if you'd like digital art made of your heraldry or achievement, toss me an email at chufuhuzhen@gmail.com. Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about an hour or so, DEPENDING ON what else I may have to do (if I'm at work it has to wait), since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Special Needs:====<br />
I think I can't have caffeine. It makes my anxiety worse and causes some heart issues.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====In Case of Court:====<br />
PLEASE tell me in advance that I'll need to be at a particular event. How you say it is entirely up to you; make up some sort of job you 'need me to do' or something. I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are slim, for most events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
====2019 - 2020====<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====2021 - 2022====<br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />

==Reign Overview==<br />
====[[The Removal of Prince Aaron MacGregor]]====<br />
Removal of Crown Prince of Ansteorra<BR><br />
SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 | SCA COMMUNICATIONS<BR><br />
On September 4, 2023, at a Special Meeting of the SCA Inc. Board of Directors, the Board voted without opposition to remove Aaron MacGregor as the current Crown Prince of Ansteorra. The Board reached this serious decision after significant deliberation and with the advice of our Officers.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
At this time, Ansteorra remains under the stewardship of the Stellar Crown, King Gabriel and Queen Sonja. We would ask that people extend all courtesy to Her Royal Highness Nicollet as she contemplates what will be best for the Kingdom in the next reign. Any further announcements regarding the next reign will be made at a Kingdom level.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
As this matter is ongoing, no further public comment will be made by SCA Inc.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
It was further announced on September 9th at Kingdom Arts & Sciences Evening Court by Their Royal Majesties that a second Crown Tournament would not be held; that her Highness Nicollet would Reign unaccompanied.<br />
<br />

===Royal Whims or Declarations===<br />
Emailing: When emailing the Sovereign, please use the following address: sovereign@crown.ansteorra.org<BR><br />
<BR><br />
This will ensure that I am receiving your correspondence and responding in a timely manner.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Award Recommendations:<BR><br />
Please have your award recommendations submitted for consideration 2 weeks prior to the event that you are requesting the awards to be received at. Please keep in mind that all of the Scrolls for this reign are unique in their wording and there is no bank of pre-painted charters to choose from. Our amazing artisans need time to paint and prepare charters.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
For the polling Orders:<BR><br />
Please have your candidates with resumes and photographs where applicable to the Sovereign at least 2 weeks prior to the circle. Proxies are always welcome as I completely understand that you may not be able to attend every gathering of your respective orders. In that regard, proxies are due by midnight, the Friday of the event. To be clear, if the event is on Saturday, the 16th then the proxies are due by Midnight, Friday, the 15th. <BR><br />
<BR><br />
May the new year bring peace and prosperity to each of you. <BR><br />

===Words of the Crown===<br />
*October 14, 2023 - During [[The Eclipse Coronation of Ansteorra]], at the closing of Her Premier Court, Our Sovereign Queen Nicollet II had the following words to say: <br />
<br />
"Now I would like to talk to you all about a very serious topic and it is something that I made a promise to this Kingdom about when I decided to stay in this position and lead you forward. I promised the population of Ansteorra a DEI(B) plan and an initiative to move forward and I would like to present that to you now. <br />
<br />
At Border March Autumn Melees (BAM/[[War of the Rams]]) We will have our first of two Kingdom-level Salons. At the first Salon, We will be discussing the concepts of disabilities, seen and unseen, and how We can make our Dream more accessible to those who suffer from disabilities. This will be a forum that anyone can participate in. We intend to have a scribe there to write down the ideas so that we can put them into a working document and send them to our DEI(B) Officer so that the ideas that come from these salons are accessible to all of our groups so that you may move forward in supporting the Dream at the local level and making sure that people are able to come out and play. <br />
<br />
The second Salon We are hosting at Winter Kingdom where We will be discussing marginalized communities and again We will be taking notes and creating some ideas to be able to make our Dream more accessible and more friendly to marginalized communities with the hope that We can continue as a Kingdom to move forward and to grow our populace in a manner where everyone is welcome and accepted.<br />
<br />
Moving forward, I will not require, but I will politely request, that if you are bidding on a Kingdom-level event that you please consider having an area available for a quiet space. We did this at Kingdom Arts and Sciences where it was very successful. We all love out friends, but sometimes we need a break for a few minutes to re-center and re-ground ourselves. It is not a hard thing to do. There is really no special requirements, just a small space away from noise, where people can go and have a moment to themselves. So, We will be requesting that idea to be included in your Kingdom-level bids. <br />
<br />
Additionally we are asking our local officers and Landed to please watch your populace and bring to Us the names of those who exemplify acceptance and assistance in the SCA. We are hoping that by the end of this reign We will be able to establish a new Kingdom-level award for inclusiveness. The DEI(B) Office is not a weapon to be used against our friends, or even those that we perceive as enemies, rather it is an office that We use to organize ideas to educate ourselves on the challenges that we ALL face. There will be those who will stand out among our populace as being exceptional in these skills and qualities. Please make sure that those people, their names, get before Me for proper recognition. <br />
<br />
And so, my friends, this is the initiative for this Reign that I wish to present to you. Hopefully for your input and approval because along We cannot do this alone. We have to work together. If you have additional ideas, if you have thoughts for a Kingdom-Level award on inclusivity, please bring Me your concepts so that We can see how we can implement them to best serve out Kingdom. Thank you!" <br />
<BR><br />

Greetings to Our Fair Kingdom,<BR><br />
As the fall season and cooler weather are finally upon us we turn Our thoughts to the season of gratitude and of gifting. Let us each take a moment to remember the good acts and good people in our lands that have shown brightly throughout the year. I would like to especially thank all those that have lent their support and words of encouragement throughout the past few months. The people of Ansteorra continue to make me proud and humble at the same time with their generosity of time and talent. <BR><br />
I would like to express my gratitude to the event staff of my Queen's Champion Tournament. It was an amazing day filled with feats of skill and valor. I am so looking forward to our Rapier Community displaying their prowess on the field at Gulf Wars.<BR><br />
Speaking of War; another War of the Rams has passed us as well. I am extremely proud of the Ansteorran Army. We will be a force to be reckoned with at Gulf Wars this year. At WotR, we also hosted our first DEI-B Salon to discuss how to make the Dream more accessible to those with disabilities. I want to thank all those that participated. We will continue to strive to make our Kingdom accessible, welcoming, and safe for all.<BR><br />
I wish each of you the happiest of holidays. Feast and Rest during these winter months. Come spring, the trumpets of war will sound and you will be called to defend your homeland once again!<BR><br />
In service to Dream,<BR><br />
Nicollet, Sovereign Queen of Ansteorra<BR><br />

===Words of the Crown===<br />
*October 14, 2023 - During [[The Eclipse Coronation of Ansteorra]], at the closing of Her Premier Court, Our Sovereign Queen Nicollet II had the following words to say: <br />
<br />
"Now I would like to talk to you all about a very serious topic and it is something that I made a promise to this Kingdom about when I decided to stay in this position and lead you forward. I promised the population of Ansteorra a DEI(B) plan and an initiative to move forward and I would like to present that to you now. <br />
<br />
At Border March Autumn Melees (BAM/[[War of the Rams]]) We will have our first of two Kingdom-level Salons. At the first Salon, We will be discussing the concepts of disabilities, seen and unseen, and how We can make our Dream more accessible to those who suffer from disabilities. This will be a forum that anyone can participate in. We intend to have a scribe there to write down the ideas so that we can put them into a working document and send them to our DEI(B) Officer so that the ideas that come from these salons are accessible to all of our groups so that you may move forward in supporting the Dream at the local level and making sure that people are able to come out and play. <br />
<br />
The second Salon We are hosting at Winter Kingdom where We will be discussing marginalized communities and again We will be taking notes and creating some ideas to be able to make our Dream more accessible and more friendly to marginalized communities with the hope that We can continue as a Kingdom to move forward and to grow our populace in a manner where everyone is welcome and accepted.<br />
<br />
Moving forward, I will not require, but I will politely request, that if you are bidding on a Kingdom-level event that you please consider having an area available for a quiet space. We did this at Kingdom Arts and Sciences where it was very successful. We all love out friends, but sometimes we need a break for a few minutes to re-center and re-ground ourselves. It is not a hard thing to do. There is really no special requirements, just a small space away from noise, where people can go and have a moment to themselves. So, We will be requesting that idea to be included in your Kingdom-level bids. <br />
<br />
Additionally we are asking our local officers and Landed to please watch your populace and bring to Us the names of those who exemplify acceptance and assistance in the SCA. We are hoping that by the end of this reign We will be able to establish a new Kingdom-level award for inclusiveness. The DEI(B) Office is not a weapon to be used against our friends, or even those that we perceive as enemies, rather it is an office that We use to organize ideas to educate ourselves on the challenges that we ALL face. There will be those who will stand out among our populace as being exceptional in these skills and qualities. Please make sure that those people, their names, get before Me for proper recognition. <br />
<br />
And so, my friends, this is the initiative for this Reign that I wish to present to you. Hopefully for your input and approval because along We cannot do this alone. We have to work together. If you have additional ideas, if you have thoughts for a Kingdom-Level award on inclusivity, please bring Me your concepts so that We can see how we can implement them to best serve out Kingdom. Thank you!" <br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====December Black Star====<br />
Greetings to Our Fair Kingdom,<BR><br />
As the fall season and cooler weather are finally upon us we turn Our thoughts to the season of gratitude and of gifting. Let us each take a moment to remember the good acts and good people in our lands that have shown brightly throughout the year. I would like to especially thank all those that have lent their support and words of encouragement throughout the past few months. The people of Ansteorra continue to make me proud and humble at the same time with their generosity of time and talent. <BR><br />
I would like to express my gratitude to the event staff of my Queen's Champion Tournament. It was an amazing day filled with feats of skill and valor. I am so looking forward to our Rapier Community displaying their prowess on the field at Gulf Wars.<BR><br />
Speaking of War; another War of the Rams has passed us as well. I am extremely proud of the Ansteorran Army. We will be a force to be reckoned with at Gulf Wars this year. At WotR, we also hosted our first DEI-B Salon to discuss how to make the Dream more accessible to those with disabilities. I want to thank all those that participated. We will continue to strive to make our Kingdom accessible, welcoming, and safe for all.<BR><br />
I wish each of you the happiest of holidays. Feast and Rest during these winter months. Come spring, the trumpets of war will sound and you will be called to defend your homeland once again!<BR><br />
In service to Dream,<BR><br />
Nicollet, Sovereign Queen of Ansteorra<BR><br />

<hr />
<div>By Baroness [[Montega Blackdragon]], reprinted from her Facebook page with permission.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
Is it your first war or do you just want to see a few tips? The main thing about Gulf War is to pack for every kind of weather and it usually rains at least one time. Here ya go!<BR><BR><br />
* Mundane Clothes and Garb - Put your “going home” clothes in a plastic bag with a dryer sheet. You will appreciate that at the end of war. It keeps the camp smell out and you will feel cleaner going home.<br />
* Socks and underwear and a plastic bag for dirties. Bring lots of socks for a wet war. Dry feet are crucial.<br />
* Umbrella one for rain and one for sun. *You must – must- must have a sunbrella. It is sunny and a parasol is fantastic. If you don’t have one they always sell them at merchant row from 8 -10 bucks.<br />
* Shoes (mundane and period) There is LOTS of walking at war. Sometimes a different shoe can refresh tired feet. Lots of walking. Did I mention LOTS of walking?<br />
* Mugs - One regular, one small - If you don’t have a small shot glass style “tasting mug” get one at merchant row. You will be offered lots of “drinks” being able to taste and toss is good.<br />
* Girls bring your personals (even if you aren’t expecting Mother Nature to visit. You never know)<br />
* Bra’s – Bring several. No one want’s to be around that “smells like peanut butter, War Bra”<br />
* Boys – Bring Condoms and deodorant. Seriously. Because you won’t need one unless you have the other. ;)<br />
* Lanterns- Bring battery style and period style if you like. A must have are the solar powered garden lights. Bring one or two to put in the tent at the end of the day so that when you come back late, you don’t have to fish around to find light to light the real lantern. We also put these around each tent stake for safety at night. Nothing sucks more than to trip on a tent stake.<br />
* Saving the soaps, shampoos and conditioners from hotel stays helps save packing room and isn’t a big deal if you leave it behind in the bathroom. Otherwise visit the sample isle at the supermarket.<br />
* Scrubbie brush – It helps to have clean feet and hands. A scrub brush from a manicure kit is perfect. After only three days at war you will feel like you need to visit a German spa and be scrubbed clean with a wire brush by a lady named Helga. This brush really helps get the war dirt out of finger and toe nails.<br />
* Towels and wash cloth- Bring at least three. Keep one in your plastic bag for the last going home shower. Don’t forget to hang your towel after each shower so it will dry. Moldy smelly peoples are icky.<br />
* Belts, pouches, baskets – You will have stuff to carry. You need something to carry it in. Bring an empty basket so that you have something to take stuff home in later. Shopping is huge here and if you plan to do a lot, don’t forget to leave room to take the goods home in. We bring an empty tote when we know we are shopping a lot.<br />
* Hair pins, ties, brushes, and snoods etc. – Plan each day with a mental note of what you are wearing head to toe. Bring all the accessories for each outfit.<br />
* Jewelry, coronets – Bring your bling girls, this is a great time to be fancy. (If you aren’t a blingy type that is fine, but bring your best garb.)<br />
* Camp Heater – This is a must but also be careful about carbon Monoxide. I recommend Mr. Heater. It comes in two sizes and can have an adapter to use a large propane tank. Bring propane for cooking and heat.<br />
* '''****Carbon Monoxide Detector''' – This is a small item that looks just like a smoke detector. It’s not expensive. Get it and use it if you are using propane and such in the tent. Dead friends aren’t much fun.<br />
* Tent – A period tent is THE best investment we ever made in the SCA. If you know you are going to be a “lifer” in the SCA this is a must. I recommend Panther, they have a layaway plan. If you have a mundane tent, bring an extra tarp for rain. Nothing sucks more than a wet tent and went things. Keep things away from the walls in a mundane tent, it helps it leak. You must – must - must bring an extra tarp. Rain flies do NOT work. Bring extra tent stakes in case some break. Bring extra rope as well.<br />
* Shovel – You may need to remove a root or two to help get a flat spot. You will also need to “trench” your tent. This will keep rain from getting in. this is a pain in the ass but totally worth it. Girls going alone, if you don’t know how to do this, find me, I will show you.<br />
* Bed – If you must use an air mattress bring a wool blanket to put under your sheet. The air in the mattress is about like sleeping on a water bed with no heater. It will suck the heat right out of your body. That wool will help stop that. (cover the wool with a sheet if you have a wool allergy)I use a futon mattress and a Hollywood bed frame with wooden slats. Works perfect, travels well. Take lots of covers and don’t forget your cloak works as a blanket too. Tip, cover your pillows before you leave for the night. Dew makes them feel wet.<br />
* Battery operated air pump for your mattress. It will leak during war and you will need to refill it.<br />
* Hangers – bring hangers to hang your cloths. If you don’t have a way to hang them just leave them in the tote. (Another reason to have a period tent is that you can have a shelf with a place to hang clothes.)<br />
* Febreeze – Don’t be stinky. Just don’t. It’s icky and makes you look like a weirdo. If your clothes start funking it up, use the Febreeze. Fighters, this means you. It is also refreshing to Febreeze your sheets and tent.<br />
* Phones and chargers – bring a charger for your phone. Don’t forget.<br />
* Pee bucket – Yes it’s a dirty topic but someone has to talk about it. You need a pee bucket. No joke. It is 9 kinds of suck to come in after a night of drinking, get in bed, only to wake up two hours later needing to pee so bad your eyeballs are going to float off into the night. 32 degrees outside and raining. You don’t need that trip to the porta john if you have a pee bucket. A 5 gallon bucket, trash bag and kitty litter. Use the bucket, then take the bag out and tie it up. The litter soaks up the pee. DO NOT crap in the pee bucket. It’s gross. This is just a “Holy balls I gotta pee so bad and don’t want to freeze” tactic. It’s just for emergency situations. Don’t make it a tent toilet.<br />
* Trashcan – It’s a must, we are trash producing peoples. They have portable ones. Bring lots of trash bags.<br />
* Safety pins and sewing kits, duct tape – You can McGuiver your way out of most things with these items.<br />
* Powder – Walking… lots and lots of walking. Chaffing can happen and sucks when it does. Lots and lots of walking. Did I mention lots of walking?!?!<br />
* Bring your normal toiletries. Brush your teeth, people. Do your very best to be a clean person. Just because you are in the woods and on vacation doesn’t mean you should go around funking up the war!<br />
* Loofa – Even if you are a wash cloth user, a loofa will help make you feel super clean. After three days at war you will be glad you have this.<br />
* Paper plates – You won’t need regular feast gear unless you are going full on period and such. It is very easy to be able to toss stuff in the trash. You have classes and fighting to get to. So, disposable things are good.<br />
* Paper towels – Another must. Good for lots of things.<br />
* Zip Lock Baggies – So many reasons you will need these. Just bring it.<br />
* Lint Roller – A MUST. Especially if you are a pet person.<br />
* Lighter – You need this even if you don’t smoke. You need a source of fire making for lighting lanterns, making fires, etc.<br />
* First Aid Kit – Because Tega’s are clumsy.<br />
* Tent broom – Things get grimy, clean it up.<br />
* Tent Mats – They make plastic mats that look like period style rugs. In Tulsa you can get them at NamHi the asian market for about 20 bucks. Totally worth it. You will appreciate this lots. Good for in and outside of the tent.<br />
* Registration receipt for Gulf War. Our troll folks are awesome. Just in case there is some kind of snafu bring your registration paper.<br />
* YOU MUST HAVE YOUR ID! Not just for trolling in but to get in to the cool parties too.<br />
* Camera/phone camera – You will want to take pics. (After several years the pics all look the same. Lol)<br />
* Batteries – Your battery operated lantern will not last the week. Bring fresh batteries for it.<br />
* Food- bring all the things to make your food or the money to buy it all week. Bring dish soap and a way to clean up after yourself. Don’t let your camp spot get icky.<br />
* Vitamins, meds – Don’t forget these. Fighters bring anti-cramp stuff such as potassium (check w your doc first if you have issues)<br />
* Sunscreen – It can get pretty warm and sunny at War.<br />
* Dryer sheets- To help keep the tent smelling nice. Fighters should put these in armor boxes. Speaking of that, make sure you fighters hang your fight clothes to dry, leather armor too. It’s stinky nasty if you just keep it wet. Trust me when I tell you fighters are sexier when they stay clean.<br />
* Baby wipes – These are handy if you are in a hurry and need to freshen up.<br />
* Hand sanitizer and sanitizer wipes – Because porta-potties after Ansteorran chili night are scary.<br />
* Nail clippers, tweezers – multi use.<br />
* Cloak and warm hat.<br />
* Camp chairs are a must. Put your name on it.<br />
* Get cash before you get to site. The ATM fees on site are stupid high.<br />
<br />
So there you have it. Some must have things for Gulf war. I’m sure there are lots of other great ideas out there. Have a great war and if you have questions, let me know!<br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
====2019 - 2020====<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====2021 - 2022====<br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

===Populace Provided Information:===<br />
====[[Zubeydah]]====<br />
Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />
<br />
===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />

Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about an hour or so, DEPENDING ON what else I may have to do (if I'm at work it has to wait), since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Special Needs:====<br />
I think I can't have caffeine. It makes my anxiety worse and causes some heart issues.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====In Case of Court:====<br />
PLEASE tell me in advance that I'll need to be at a particular event. How you say it is entirely up to you; make up some sort of job you 'need me to do' or something. I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are slim, for most events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
====2019 - 2020====<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
====2021 - 2022====<br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

====[[Zubeydah]]====<br />
Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />

===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />

I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are slim, for most events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

<BR><br />
<br />
===Populace Provided Information:===<br />
====[[Zubeydah]]====<br />
Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />
<br />
===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />
<BR><br />

===Affiliations:===<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
===Mundane Information:===<br />
I'm a full time college student with a job. History major. My schedule is, despite being extremely regular, also somehow extremely unpredictable. If you need me to be somewhere or do something for an event, please tell me WAY in advance.<BR><br />
<br />
That said... if you'd like digital art made of your heraldry or achievement, toss me an email at chufuhuzhen@gmail.com. Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about an hour or so, DEPENDING ON what else I may have to do (if I'm at work it has to wait), since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Special Needs:====<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====In Case of Court:====<br />
PLEASE tell me in advance that I'll need to be at a particular event. How you say it is entirely up to you; make up some sort of job you 'need me to do' or something. I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are slim, for most events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script. It doesn't have to match the scroll art; feel free to use a fun Gothic hand with a Chinese scroll design.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

===Populace Provided Information:===<br />
====[[Zubeydah]]====<br />
Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />

===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />

I'm a full time college student with a job. History major. My schedule is, despite being extremely regular, also somehow extremely unpredictable. If you need me to be somewhere or do something for an event, please tell me WAY in advance.<BR><br />

That said... if you'd like digital art made of your heraldry or achievement, toss me an email at chufuhuzhen@gmail.com. Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about an hour or so, DEPENDING ON what else I may have to do (if I'm at work it has to wait), since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />

===Timeline of Activity:===<br />
Fall 2019: Began going to [[Namron]] populace meetings and some rapier practices, considered a good move by me and several friends.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Spring 2020: Started participating more, went to lots of (online) events, won Namron's teen Iron Artisan competition by being the only person to enter.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
June 2021: Attended first in person event - [[Myrgenfeld]] Collegium. It was a nice, slow event, to my memory. It was good meeting some friends. Note to self: frozen grapes are amazing, BUT only bring as many as you'll eat. Do not freeze the entire huge bag of grapes.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fall 2021: Attended more populace meetings with the Barony of [[Namron]].<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 11th, 2021: Attended the first Vindheim Coronet Tourney, hosted by the Province of [[Mooneschadowe]]. It was SO GREAT getting to see everyone! Over 500 people, it was so big! We had Royals and Baronage from out of Kingdom (the King (maybe Prince, then?) of Gleann Abhann, the Baron and Baroness of Vatavia, in Calontir, and a Queen, who I *think* was from the Outlands). Áshildr hosted an impromptu bardic circle, near the end, and we sang for a little while. Several of my friends got their AoAs, which was AWESOME to see.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
December 18th, 2021: Attended the Primere Princess' Rapier Tourney, hosted by... either [[Wiesenfeuer]] or [[Mooneschadowe]]. Had a good time, Her Excellency [[Zubeydah]] made some tasty soup to share with people. I brought more food this time. The cookies were good.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
February 26th 2022: Went to Provincial Games, hosted by [[Mooneschadowe]]! I was a chess piece in the human chess game (fought and died well. My team won!). Got to speak to Mistress Margherita, before she was inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Was a very long drive home, but I had a lovely time.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 9th, 2022: Oh boy... I thought Mooneschadowe was a long drive. I was very, very wrong. I went with my boyfriend and another friend. Turns out [[Bjornsborg]] is a grand total of over 7 HOURS AWAY FROM [[Namron|NAMRON]]! My back was spasming by the time we got to San Antonio. We dropped my friend [[Malkyn Hawke]] off at their crash space, and trundled on to our own. Lord [[Robin de Chantenay Carrot|Robin]] is a wonderful host, by the way. Seriously, he's great. Highly reccomend him as a friend; he's a hoot and a half.<br />
<br />
We got to see Her Excellency [[Caterina Giovanni di Gilead|Caterina]] be announced for the Order of the Pelican! In my opinion, such an honor is VERY well deserved. It was good fighting. Shame a couple people went down on the field (I don't remember who or why), though I think both ended up alright, in the end. As always, my dear friend [[Áshildr inn Hárfagri]] did a STELLAR job at heralding. At one point she did a whole song and dance! I carried a banner in Her Excellency Caterinas' procession into Crown Tourney, which was quite nice. Baroness [[Dominique Michelle le Vasseur|Dominique]] played her drum, and another good gentle did some belly dance as we processed in! Very fitting.<br />
<br />
I attempted to teach (did more learning than teaching, lol) a dance class at the evening revel. We had a few newcomers dance with us! There's a lot more Bransles than I was aware of.<br />
<br />
The whole thing was a lovely time. Thank you all so much for making it so enjoyable.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
April 30th, 2022: Namron Beltane was great! So much to do. Lots of tasty food, good music, and little lemonade water flavor packets that I had to hunt down a waterbottle to use. I threw a hammer right about 15 feet during Celtic Games! That's about 15 feet further than I was expecting! I was the lead Site Herald for Beltane this year, which was actually pretty fun. I had a wonderful team, and we got all the announcements made, as needed. And there were so many newcomers! They were all so great. And then there was Court. Where I gOT MY AOA! THAT I HAD EARNED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR BUT I WASN'T AT THAT EVENT DUE TO LAST MINUTE MUNDANE ISSUES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Very happy, thank you all so much)<BR><br />
<br />
2022 summer Coronet: It was HOT! Also, 5 newcomers is too many newcomers to manage at one event, for me. I think I'll stick to one or two at a time... Congrats to Their Sanguine Highnesses, and thank you to Their Excellencies!<br />
<br />
Pennsic 49: OMG WHERE TO START?!? I screamed when I first saw the flags, rounding the corner of Curie road. I relished the 'Welcome Home' of the people working at Gate. I was slightly confused on what to do next and it took me 10 minutes to find my camp (the map is hard to read at first!). One of my lovely, wonderful, AMAZING camp mates had already set up my tent before I got there (thank you to HL Kel Sorenson of Rosenfeld!). I crashed quickly. And that's just day one!<br />
<br />
[[Skorragardr]] Axeman 2022: I had a great time! I was given the Torsade of Namron for service, a bunch of my friends got awards, I was the Herald in Charge, I got to be pleasantly surprised by the presence of Their Royal Highnesses (I knew about Their Sanguine Highnesses, but was surprised by having ALL of the Highnesses!)... I love my friends :)<br />

<br />
===Populace Provided Information:===<br />
====[[Zubeydah]]====<br />
Rarely have I seen someone immerse themselves into our Society with the excitement and passion of Hu Zhen. When she learned about the wiki, she immediately reached out to me to find out how she could help. I told her that I had a number of "really big, really boring" projects. Her response was that such a thing was perfect for her. Since that time, she has completed several ([[Special:Contributions/Shimmersky|really big, really boring, REALLY important]]) tasks for the Wiki, such as bringing all of the pages to a more cohesive format, fixing OP links, and searching out grammatical and spelling errors. I deeply appreciate her help and her contributions. <br />
<BR><br />
====[[Ivo Blackhawk]]====<br />
I don't know too many people who have embraced the world of heraldry quite as frenetically as Hu Zhen, or as passionately.<BR><BR><br />
At first, she was tracking down all of the group heraldry and badges so that she could help create digital versions of them. Then she was asking about voice heraldry, and the next thing I know she was coordinating site heraldry at Beltane. She still does heraldic art on request, and is my go-to person for color and line drawings for heraldic submissions. Right now, she is the first to offer help, and the last to quit on most projects, and I've seen her pull up to an event with her car full, including offering rides to not only new players, but long time ones as well.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
She is a credit to the society, the kingdom, Namron, and the heraldic community.<BR><BR><br />
<br />
===Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:===<br />
* I GOT MY AOA AT NAMRON BELTANE 2022 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (very happy)<BR><br />
* Was awarded a position in the first Pennsic Young Adult Internship - Cultural Affairs Department. I was one of the 4 people chosen for the first year (Pennsic 50), and the only from outside the 3 primary 'Pennsic Kingdoms' (Middle, East, Æthelmearc).<BR><br />
* Site Herald at... a couple events now. I know one was some Namron Beltane or another. Do I remember which events exactly? Absolutely not.<br />
* Site Maintenance Manager at Namron Protectorate 2023<br />
* I've done a tiny bit of Court Heraldry, too, and am hoping to learn more about it soon. Please don't make me do paperwork, but I can do the shouty!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:====<br />
* Baronova [[Uliana Haiduk|Uliana]] sent me a necklace that Baroness [[Kyna Terricsdottir]] said should go to a deserving newcomer, and I think I'll be happy about that forever!<BR><br />
* I've gotten Largesse from a few friends, and I treasure each piece.<BR><br />
* Received the [[Torsade of Namron]] for Service from the hands of Their Excellencies, [[Kolfinna Egilsdóttir]] and [[Mani Alfsson|Yancy]] at [[Skorragarðr]] Axeman, November 2022.<BR><br />
* Recieved the Flint and Steel of Wiesenfeuer at... Wiesenfeuer Baronial 2023? I think?<br />

<br />
===Mundane Information:===<br />
I'm a full time college student with a job. History major. My schedule is, despite being extremely regular, also somehow extremely unpredictable. If you need me to be somewhere or do something for an event, please tell me WAY in advance.<BR><br />
<br />
That said... if you'd like digital art made of your heraldry or achievement, toss me an email at helena.a.hedges@gmail.com. Sketches, previous examples, or some such thing are much preferred as an example of the device, as my blazonspeak is rudimentary at best. This is free of charge, I do it for fun. For devices, the usual turn around time is about 2-3 days, since I have homework and a job to do. Achievements will take considerably longer due to the complexity of many of them.<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====Special Needs:====<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
====In Case of Court:====<br />
PLEASE tell me in advance that I'll need to be at a particular event. How you say it is entirely up to you; make up some sort of job you 'need me to do' or something. I have a chronic case of helium hand, so unless I seriously can't attend the event, I'll probably be there. That said, southern region events are HORRIBLY far for me, and the chances of me going south of the DFW area are slim, for most events.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
If I am going to, miracle of miracles, be given a scroll of original design (or really awesome penmanship)... please DO NOT USE A 'HACKHAND' SCRIPT. Any effort put towards using a hackhand would be MUCH better used finding someone who speaks the language and can translate. They exist. If a scroll in another language is deemed too much effort, please use a STANDARD, NON-HACKHAND English script.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Additionally, my full name and title are pronounced (by me; this is not necessarily correct!) as follows:<br />
'Choo-Fu Who Zhen', Choo being like the train sound, fu as in 'Kung fu', Who as in 'Who's there', and Zhen sounds similar to 'shin', but with a Zh sound instead of a Sh sound. These pronunciations do not take into account the Chinese Tones System, because I don't know how to speak Chinese, and as such these pronunciations may be inaccurate.<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Chu fu is my title (it's equivilant to Lady), Zhen is my personas' personal name. Hu is the family name. However, I answer to either part of it, or both parts together.<BR><br />
