Elizabeth Turner de Carlisle
Elizabeth Turner de Carlisle currently lives in the Shire of Coeur du Val. She is a bard and has served as the Bardic Champion of the Barony of Adiantum. She took her Honorary Oath of Citizenship in Adiantum at Egil's in May 2008 and served from April 2008 to July 2009 as scribe for the Barony. In September 2009, she passed the Cohort trials held by Baron Tadhg.
In most of her SCA activities, she is a herald. She was once known as Áine Steele, but soon realized that it might be prudent to have a period name if she was going to ask others to do the same. She writes letters for the Academy of St. Gabriel. She has served as Löwenmähne Herald, Sinister Gauntlet Pursuivant and Lions Blood Herald for the An Tir College of Heralds. Currently, her heraldic title is Sable Chime, and she comments on letters that have made it to the Laurel Sovereign of Arms.
Elizabeth received her Award of Arms in October of 2006 from Prince Tjorkill and Princess Sylva of the Summits. At 11th Night, 2006, she became a protégé to Master Finngall McKetterick, a Companion of the Order of the Pelican. At May Crown 2008, Elizabeth received her Goutte de Sang from Their Majesties Cedric and Elizabeth.
She received her Order of the Grail of the Summits in Arts and Sciences from Prince Brian and Princess Acacia as well as an Order of the Silver Barberry from Her Highness Acacia at Summits Summer Investiture 2009. Later that year, she received the same accolade for Service from Prince Brogan and Princess Johanna at Summits Fall Coronet.
At Summits Fall Coronet, AS 47, she was consort to Luciano Foscari, who was victorious in the Coronet List. They were invested as the thirty-fourth Tanist and Tanista later that evening.
She is disturbingly attached to Hello Kitty and the color pink.
Her persona is very late 16th Century English, but she is in the process of moving it to Venice and enjoys all cultures and loves to meet new people.
