• Alternate/former names: Saerlaith l'Estrangere

Persona:

• 15th century Frenchwoman living lavishly beyond my means until my husband's inheritance runs out.
• <;D (That's an emoticon of me in a steeple hennin - world's smallest selfie!)
• I sew clothing and do embroidery, calligraphy and illumination, ceramics, metalsmithing and casting, and dumpster diving when I think nobody is watching. I play the recorder (poorly), dance (occasionally), and I am not to be trusted in the kitchen!

From Melanie de la Tour: I sent a wooden chest home with Sancha so that she could fix a broken hinge, and it came back with my arms painted on the front and both ends. Sancha has mad skills!
