View source for Persona

[[File:Maciejowski Bible Leaf 37 3.jpg|right|300px]]A "Persona" in the SCA is the history or "back story" people tell about their life. For some people, a Persona is simply the name they use; for others it is much more complex and involves elaborate costumes, registered name and heraldry, and much, much more. . .

A complete list of all "Populace" pages on the wiki can be found [[:Category:Populace|here]].
