Renée du bois d'Ambré
Is a matron of mixed ancestry, being of Franco-Scots, Alsatian and Sinti descent. She has now lived in An Tir for half of her life, something she finds odd to beieve, being a mere slip of a girl of 21.
Persona
Renée's paternal great-grandfather Donal MacBheathain came from the Cairngorm Mountains by the river Spey in Scotland to the continent as part of what is in modern parlance called the Auld Alliance between the crown of Scotland and France against the English, eventually falling in love with a local girl, Martine d'Artois and marrying her.
Renée's maternal great grandparents came from Alsace with other Sinti and Roma into France during the early 14th Century, eventually settling in the Artois region of Burgundy.
Partly as a result of her ancestry, she has traveled to and from Scotland, the Low Countries, France, parts of Italy, Switzerland and Germany.
House Amberwood/La Maison d'Ambre
Was founded by of Amberwood|Aislynn of Amberwood, and Renée is a member of this Household. She has hopes that other members of the Household will become active again, especially Aislynn.

I later lived in Atenveldt, Ansteorra and the then Principality of Drachenwald before returning to the United States, where most of my active time within the Society was spent within Kingdom of Caid in the former of Darkwell, where in another life (and persona earned awards and arms, which are irrelevant to Renée. In Anno Mundanis 1987, our family moved to Washington, and for many reasons, our participation within the Society ended not long after.
