== In Case of Court ==
In case of court, please notify Berakha via email or message their personal Facebook. Advanced notice is strongly preferred over surprise. Her persona is female, but gender-neutral language is also welcome. If relevant for any awards or scrolls, she would greatly enjoy Hebrew or Aramaic as the language of choice, but otherwise English (or any other language) is also well and excellent. '''Please note, that while languages and runes and alphabets of all sorts are well and excellent, hack-hands are to be preferably avoided.'''
 
Berakha is an observant Jew, and as such is uncomfortable with kneeling before the Royal Majesties in Court when Court takes place in or at a Church. If nominated for an award, please bestow it at events that do '''NOT''' take place at a Church.
