SCA History
Her first home in the Knowne World was the Barony of Seagirt. It was there Johanna developed a thirst for the lively practices of the wordsmith and the songsmith and devotes most of her studies to these two practices, while also learning the womanly art of brewing. She performed her first song at the Yeoman trial of Rashid al-Qasim.
Then one day it was not enough for her to merely sing the songs of battle and victory, so she strapped on a suit of armour and went looking for some of her own! She took to the list field, intially entering as 'Nemo' until she had decided on a name.
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 Bardic Defender's Tournament in AS 46. 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. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13_costumes/5488547175/
Her current enthusiasms (of which there are many) are brewing, heavy combat, 15th century costume and armour, bardic and overall sassiness.
She is goaded, taunted, and inspired by her good friend Cáemgen mac Garbith ui Andrais when he is around.
