I found the SCA in 1982 in the Kingdom of CAID. My initial name was Erika of the Blue Rose. I didn't know then what I know now, obviously, as that name proved to not be period and I decided not to be Norse. So after playing on and off in numerous places, I resurrected myself in 1999 as Anne Brynley, an Irish lass and joined the Barony of Tarnmist in the West. I held offices of Webminister and Chronicler and was also nominated for a Black Fox award in AS 39 for The Mermaid's Tale, Tarnmist's Newsletter. I was also a merchant and traveled with my wares. I moved to the Kingdom of An Tir in 2005 and joined the Barony of Dragon's Laire and quickly went to work serving my new Barony. After years and years of being a seamstress, I discovered the scribal arts in 2006 and have been pointed in that direction ever since. I am currently the Guildmistress for the Dragon's Laire Scribal Guild.

My persona has changed a number of times but the past few years I have been a French woman from the early 1400s. I was living near Agincourt and my husband was killed in the battle. An English soldier, Oliver Tarney, took pity on me and after gathering up my belongings, found a way to bring me back to England. We married and although I long for my homeland of France, I have learned to bring it to me in other ways.
