Briana MacCabe has been a member of the SCA since May 2010.

== Persona ==
Briana MacCabe was born in West Breifne, Ireland in 1564. Her father, Michael, was bard and poet to Brian O'Rourke, the chieftain of West Breifne and Briana followed in her father's footsteps. After the recent troubles the O'Rourkes ran into with the English, Briana wisely removed herself to her adopted homeland of Caid and is working making a name as a Bard in the Crescent kingdom.

Her motto is "Seirbhís. Ceol. Croí." This is Irish Gaelic for "Service. Music. Heart."
