Lady Jeanne Marie la Verriere
Name History: When I first joined the SCA in the Barony of Calafia, Kingdom of Caid, a friend gave me the SCA name of 'Rhiannon' after a science-fiction hero from a book that I apparently resembled. I had this name for about 2 years before I officially changed it to Jeanne-Marie and decided on a specific persona. **Although it is more correct to write it as 'Jeanne Marie', I prefer the hyphenated 'Jeanne-Marie.'

Timeline of Activity:
I began in the SCA in Caid in my junior year in high school in 1991. My best friend met an SCA'er in her after-school drafting program, and was invited to an SCA event (Potrero War.) She invited me to go with her, and for me it was love at first sight! I immediately got involved with the local group, the Barony of Calafia, and it was like suddenly have an extended family. I learned how to sew my own clothes, make my own armor, and had a group of friends willing to help and encourage me in all my SCA endeavors. Some of my most proudest moments were becoming Duke Guillaume's squire, becoming Baroness Siobhan's apprentice, and the five wonderful years I enjoyed being the consort of Sir Abu Nur Rustam ibn Abdallah. I took a break from the SCA in 2000, and returned to it again in 2005 upon moving to the Barony of Bryn Gwlad, Kingdom of Ansteorra. I have been active within Ansteorra ever since.
