<p>Lady Shannon: </p> <hr /> <div>=Persona=<br /> Unto all nobles and gentles to whom these present letters come, greetings! Tis I, Lady Shannon inghaen Bhriain ui Dhuilleain. I am a young noblewoman of fifteenth century Ireland. My father, Lord Bhrian O Dhuilleain, heads a small, prosperous household with my mother, Lady Anlaith ingen Taidc, in the earldom of Kildare.<br /> <br /> The youngest of their seven children and the only girl, I was born on the seventeenth day of May in the year 1460. My father, a free man, was quite loyal to Thomas Fitzgerald Earl Kildare, who became Lord Deputy Thomas when I was eleven years of age. As a girl, I loved to ride the horses of the estate across the rolling green fields. I received a noble's education growing up - I am literate, and I can speak English in addition to my own native Gaelic. In addition, I learned many things a woman is supposed to know - sewing and embroidery, knitting, and cooking, running a household. Most of these lessons seemed superfluous to me, since the house was always abuzz with servants doing all but the last of these very tasks for us.<br /> <br /> Lord Deputy Thomas' son Garret was only a few years my senior, and I fancied him greatly, despite knowledge that if he did marry, it would be for the good of the land and the advancement of his clan - neither of which he would achieve by choosing me. By the time Garret took his father's place, I was seventeen years old and I had all but forgotten my infatuation with him, as I had fallen head-over-heels for a mysterious fellow of eastern lineage who sporadically passed in and out of my life as his travels and my own caused us to cross paths many a time. This displeased my father, who wanted nothing more than to see me settled down and married to a good Irishman.<br /> <br /> =SCA Life=<br /> My very first SCA event was in July of 2000 in the East Kingdom -- I was eighteen, I was enamored with the &quot;real-live roleplaying&quot; going on around me, and I remember calling myself &quot;Luhapenterke&quot; for the event. Then I went away to Basic Training for the Army, and promptly lost track of the SCA for four years.<br /> <br /> Once I was discharged from the Army, I was looking for something to fill all the free time I suddenly had and I thought to myself, &quot;Hey! How about that SCA thing?&quot; So I hopped on the internet and, without any ''real'' hope of finding a group in Hawaii, I began to search. Lo and behold, there ''was'' a barony there! I paid for my membership that night, without so much as talking to a single member or attending an event.<br /> <br /> The rest, as they say, is history.<br /> <br /> I received my AoA from Their Caidan Majesties less than a year later at the Barony of Western Seas' Twelfth Night event. It was ''completely'' unexpected. Someone had just finished making a presentation, and the herald called my name. &quot;Oh no!&quot; I panicked. &quot;Am I supposed to be making a presentation? Did I forget about it entirely?!&quot; Not at all, it turned out. Her Majesty had to remind me to breathe as they read the scroll and I became ''Lady'' Shannon.<br /> <br /> I eventually moved to the Barony of Lochmere in Atlantia, which is the place I will forevermore call home.<br /> <br /> =Mundane Life=</div>
