The Honorable Lady Mora Ottavia Spadera has an identity which is a cross between cavalier and courtesan. She resides in the sunny Shire of Isles, and can generally be found at events on the rapier field or, formerly, carousing at the Inn of the Crimson Spade as one of its most dedicated patrons.
Persona
Mora was born and raised in Venezia, the eighth daughter of a former courtesan and her prosperous merchant husband. Rather than continuing to follow in her mother's footsteps, Mora did some traveling, and met Angus le Todde Mac Donnell while in Flanders. After deciding to wed, Todde and Mora have embroiled themselves in a variety of small business ventures, some of which take them regularly to Caid. They founded a merchant company, Calix Inundans with some other businessfolk, and can often be found doing business with the White Star while loitering at the Inn of the Crimson Spade.
Background
Mora has resided in the Shire of Isles since she found the SCA in 1999, her freshman year at UCSB. She immediately took up the rapier, learned to manufacture garb for large swaths of the Isles rapier community, became Shire Exchequer within a year, and was well on her way to the Order of the Dolphin and potential burnout. Meanwhile, she fell in love with and married Angus le Todde Mac Donnell and sealed her fate as a lifetime member of the society. Compulsive volunteering by his side led them both to Crescents at the 2007 King's Hunt.
Mora is a serial dabbler when it comes to the Arts and Sciences. Her Fifty-Year Challenge is to acquire the rudiments of fifty different arts. Her most continuous interests have been in rapier (she is a companion of the Duellist of Caid), garb construction, and persona play, with a good bit of dancing and some bardic arts thrown in for good measure. Her largest A&S project yet is the creation and upbringing of offspring in the society.
She has not yet found a good reason to leave the temperate and sunny Isles, but with Todde and others, operates a small merchant company, Calix Inundans, which travels often to do business (and play persona) with folks in Downtown Caid.
