Lady Astrid Skalphæna, previously known as Astrid Einarssdottir.

Astrid attended her first event in 2012, the Barony of Calafia's Potrero War. Currently, she is a resident of Lyondemere after having lived in Gyldenholt for several years, and is active in the scribal, rapier, and archery communities.

Astrid is a member of The Tavern of Lost Souls, fights as a member of Gyldenholt's rapier unit (The Grovers), is known for her poor life choices, and has been licked (and therefore claimed) by several members of the Shire of Isles. She is apprenticed to Mistress Aliskye Rosel, and is the rapier student of Dona Grainne ingen Lasrach. Astrid is also a member of the crew of the Argent Falcon.

Persona

Astrid is an early 10th century Danish woman from the trading city of Hedeby (Haithabu).
