Persona History
- Born in 15c Germany
- Learned divers textile arts from friends in my early days in Mooneschadowe (2005)
- Apprenticed to a Dane/Saxon Silversmith of the Kudzu (October 2009)
- Married a 15c Milanese Centurion (July 2010)
- Learned Glass from Bea (April 2011)
As written out for the Sable Swap Round 2 (9-27-12):
Elsa was born in Germany to a family of lesser nobility who discarded their honors in sympathy with the Hussite Rebellion (c. 1410 CE). Suddenly dispossessed, Elsa (somehow) met and fell in love with a Milanese (c. 1450 CE) soldier, and married him when he became a Centurion and therefore able to support her studies as an apprentice.
