Persona
Aine is the far more carefree version of myself flitting through time, doing whatever catches my fancy. Vaguely 14th century Irish in so far as the name, but with good skin care comes good ambiguity on age, pay no attention to the portrait of my crone self… If you ever want to get excited about art, talk through a new to your aspect of the SCA, be boasted into court, or engaged in general, benign shenanigans, I am your gentle. I even founded a fancy new Herbalist Guild to join for all your plant enthusiasm needs!

Backstory
My time in the SCA has also coincided with a couple of cross country moves in my mundane life. I was introduced to the SCA in Middle Kingdom, where I hosted the thrown weapons practice and assisted and observed as much of the founding of an incipient shire, Grenemere, as I could before my move. It was my first glimpse into service in the SCA. I then moved to Meridies, where I was fully embraced by the shire of Phoenix Glade, from which I get part of my name. While my years there were few, my experiences and friendships were many. I found my home in Caid in 2020.
