Baroness Asakura no Mashi (her preferred name, previously known as Artemisia di Serena)
Persona
Asakura no Mashi is an Edo Period (16th Century) Japanese potter who befriended the local Portuguese and Dutch tradesmen. Because of her European friends, she is taught about the world beyond the potteries where she lives and trades.
A&S Interests
While Ceramics is her main focus and interest, Mashi (or Mercy as some do call her) also does Metalworking, glass (fused and slumping), cooking, brewing, cheesemaking, gardening, painting, drawing, photography, and papercraft.
