Johanna van der Velde
Early Life

Beginnings
Her first home in the Knowne World was Seagirt. It was there Johanna developed a thirst for the lively practices of the wordsmith and the songsmith, and performed her first song at the Yeoman trial of Rashid al-Qasim. There, also, she first took to the list field, intially entering under the name 'Nemo' to covertly compete. She devotes most of her studies to these two practices, while also learning the womanly art of brewing.
In A.S. XLV, at Tir Righ's September Coronet Tourney, Prince Alden and Princess Katherine saw fit to award her arms, because they agreed she was pretty cool, and totally worthy.
After settling in her new home of Lions Gate, and crossing sticks with the locals for a few months, she decided the local bardic scene needed some of her special kind of love, and put her mettle to the Defender's Tournament. After taming the crowds, a sassy Seneschal, and a limerick battle, she emerged with the hearts of the judges, and a nifty new job with matching belt.
