Persona History
- Born in 15c Germany
- Learned divers textile arts from friends in my early days in Mooneschadowe (2005)

- Married a 15c Milanese Centurion (July 2010)

As written out for the Sable Swap Round 2 (09-27-2012):
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.
