Lissette de la Rose
I attended my first event in 1995 and fell instantly in love. Over the years I went through a lot of changes and growth as a person as well as in my persona.

Persona History
Lissette De La Rose is an early 16th century Woman born in Navarre who is the youngest daughter of a Textile Merchant and a french noblewoman of a minor house. Her mother died in childbirth and Lissette was raised by a series of governesses and household staff members while her father traveled. She learned the basic appropriate to any young lady of her time but she was wild and often ducked her responsibilities to ride in the woods or tend to her roses. She spent some time in the court of Marguerite de Navarre and was heavily influenced by her teachings on charity .Pierre Brantôme said of Marguerite: "She was a great princess. But in addition to all that, she was very kind, gentle, gracious, charitable, a great dispenser of alms and friendly to all." and Lissette strives to reach these same virtues.
Her father frequently contracted with the Iron Ring to protect his shipments heading to and from Italy. When she showed little to no prospects of marriage at home he struck a deal with the Iron Ring for her services. She was betrothed to Nicolai and they wed within a year. The life of a mercenary wife suits her taste for adventure and she often uses her fathers connections to secure supplies for the company.
