Persona:
A not particularly pinned down, vaguely Ottoman Turkish persona.. Needs much work.
SCA History & Outlook:
My first SCA event was at the age of 16/17-ish, in the brand-new Kingdom of the Outlands: their first Crown Tournament in which Gunwalt was crowned king. I was only active in the SCA in the Outlands for about 6 months, but have clear memories of serving feast at an event and having a lovely time doing so.
I didn't resurface in the SCA until after moving to Oklahoma in 2000. In 2001, I contacted the local SCA, and met Amanda Blackwolf and her family, becoming part of the Barony of Northkeep.
As the majority of my family still lives in the Outlands, I travel to events there once a year if not more - most recently Battlemoor II.
I am an active member of the Armour Archive.
I am happily and joyfully married to Abe Vivitar Von Gebric. Dutchess Vanessa de Verona is my personal hero; I want to be like her when I grow up. I count Thorgrim Bjornson and Sigen Fridreksdottir as friends and inspirations.
I love to dabble in various A&S types of things including scribal arts and beadwork, and enjoy coordinating and contributing gift baskets. I see myself more of a service type than an A&S type, though, usually expressed through my love of Waterbearing (I am sometimes referred to as Don Zubeydah of the Waterbearing Mafia, as something of a very silly Mooneschadowe joke (that should not be intended to imply that I fight rapier, much less hold a White Scarf)) and Making Stuff. I'm also known in the Northern Region as the Patron Saint of All Things Chocolaty.
Mundanities:
I am a complete and utter nerd. I'm also approaching Crazy Cat Lady status. :)
