In the real world I am Andrea. I love historical costuming and baking. I play in the SCA, but I’ve been on a several year break. I’m planning my wedding to my fiance, who currently lives in Canada. We’re trying to get through the hell that is the US immigrations system, for more info see my immigrations page.
In the SCA I have a bit of multiple persona disorder. My two primary loves within the SCA are costuming and dancing, they change around a lot over which one is my primary focus at that particular event or moment. My two most visible personas are based on my love of those two things. Let me introduce you to them.
Maysun Nura al Ishfahani al Samarkandiyya is a noblewoman of late 16th century Persia. She has a deep love for Sufi poetry, particularly Hafiz. She can usually be found wherever there is good music, firelight, and dancing going on. She has an affinity for wearing lots of colors all at once and long flowing sleeves.
My alternate persona, who strangely enough is usually called Maysun as well…fancy that…is a Venetian cortigiana onesta, an intellectual or honest courtesan. She is well educated and independent. She loves to dance, learn, and has an affinity for good food.
