==Agata's History==
&emsp;''<small>by Hamelin L'Archier</small>''<br><br>
&emsp;Agata began her SCA journey in AS 9 (1974) as Genevieve Simone Christianne Buchannon de La Rochelle in Lions Gate. She quickly immersed herself in costume design and fiber arts while also contributing to ''The Northwind'', the baronial newsletter—-a role she continued until the formation of the Shire of Eisenmarche in 1979. During her time in Lions Gate, Agata joined the Lions Gate Minstrels, actively participated as staff for events and feasts, and could often be found in the kitchen. She also served as the Barony’s Minister of Arts and Sciences, taught costuming classes, and earned a ''Magistrae Ithra'' in AS XXII (1988).<br>


Amanda of Cold Keep<br>
&emsp; When Eisenmarche was founded, Agata became the first editor of ''The Toad'', the shire’s newsletter, and remained Chronicler for several years. She also held key leadership positions, including Arts & Sciences Minister, Deputy Seneschal, and later Seneschal.<br>


'''Currently living in the Shire of Coill Mhor'''<br>
&emsp;In the late 1980s and early 1990s, still known as Genevieve Buchannon, Agata participated in several Arts & Sciences competitions. She won the Kingdom of the West’s Twelfth Night lace-making contest and placed second in the Kingdom’s costuming competition, earning her a second ''Jambe de Lion''.<br>
