Gera and Christopher at 12th Night 2022

Profile

Barunin Gera Gangolffin, OP, and her husband are currently the 13th coronets of Madrone. In a peerage context, she prefers the title "Meisterin", but being a landed coronet takes precedence over that.

Persona:

Born 1485 (currently 1535), Augsburg, Bavaria

Married to Christopher MacEveny, mercenary Captain and Wild Goose from Ireland.

Gera gave birth to two sons. First son Faris of Madrone, a wandering minstrel, was lost to the falling sickness. Second son, Zachariah of Moore, was born in 1507, is a mercenary soldier, and new father.

Gera is literate and numerate, owns land and conducts business, and serves her family and community. She enjoys tailoring, pattern-making, embellishment, minor metalsmithing and jewelry, painting, and reading.

She sometimes pulls her great-great grandmother's clothes from the attic and dresses in the houppelandes and kirtles of a century ago. She's also occasionally been known to wear Ottoman clothing in the heat of the summer.
