Persona:
- Jehanne is from the town of Bruges in the duchy of Burgundy and works in the Sanders Bening's workshop, the father of Simon Bening. In 1486 my employer was known to have joined the Bruges Guild of St. Luke. This workshop produced many things for the Dukes of Burgundy. Sadly he died in 1519.
This was a decadent era, with most worldly supplies passing through or near Bruges. The clothing was opulent, but not so fitted I can't sew it myself.
My motto is "Gloria in Facto", the justice is in the doing. The thing I like doing most is creating scrolls for Calontir's Monarchs to present to their populace.
