She has been an active member of the Barony of Seagirt ever since, enjoying dancing and rapier combat and gaining the Order of the Silent Harp for her embroidery and garb making skills. Aline is often found in the company of Pan Krzysztof Sirtaski. Please take caution not to call her by her Mundane name, as this is both irksome and potentially deadly.

Persona History
Aline is the second daughter of an innkeeper in Elizabethan England. Her mother Elizabeth died several years ago, but her father has not remarried, and Aline takes care of a younger sister as well as helping with the running of the inn. She isn't particularly fond of her father, an avaricous man who insisted on Aline's elder sister Katherine's marriage to an ill-tempered but fairly wealthy merchant. Aline frets over Katherine's unhappiness as she watches her sister, in frail health, struggling to produce the male heir her husband craves.
Aline herself has little hope of marriage; after Katherine's dowry was scraped together, there was almost nothing left for Aline––certainly not enough to attract the sort of successful or well-connected husband her father would prefer for her. Like her father, Aline dreams of greater prosperity some day, but knows not whether it will ever come to pass.
Although she dislikes brewing (and the inn sells but very indifferent ale), Aline manages to tempt travellers with her cakes and pies. Indeed, it is sometimes whispered that Blakwode's Inn would have shut after Bess Blakwode's death were it not for her daughter keeping the chambers clean and baking fine dainties for the guests.
