Lord Fionnbhar Silverhand (of Clann O'Choda and House Silverwood) Award of Arms; Order of Troubadour; Companion of the Maunche MKA: Finn O'Hern Region: Stonemarche, Belknap County Era: Beginning of Viking Age Joined SCA: Just before Pennsic 9 Activities: Bardic Arts (incl. Singing/Songwriting/Filking, Poetry, Storytelling), Minstrelry (primarily fiddle, harp, cittern, guitar, whistles, bodhran). Kitchen Prep Cook for Events. Knife/Dagger Fighting (aka Tavern Fighting). Beginning Fencer. [Heavy List Fighter, retired.] Satire, Pointing out The Obvious, Bad Puns, Telling the Truth, and... SINGING ABOUT IT. Persona: Finn's mother lived around 600-700 A.D., between the regions of modern-day Dublin and Cork, Ireland. A year before Finn's birth, his mother's town was raided by Viking Norsemen. His mother was taken prisoner by one of the Viking leaders, who liked her looks. As she did his, it should be noted. The long journey back to Norseland was without much in the way of diversion, but Finn's mother and the sturdy Viking who had taken her as his woman found much to talk about in private. Much indeed. Yes, indeed. The Viking who was to be Finn's father was seen to be visibly fading as the journey progressed. He remained cheerful, but suffering as if from lack of sleep, and the sapping of his energy. (Meanwhile, Finn's mom was walking around with a big, happy, satisfied smile on her face.) Finally, the Viking lord died, presumably of exhaustion. But not before fathering Finn. Finn was born in Norseland, and raised both Celt and Norseman. He has a love of arms, and of music (particularly Celtic). He has traveled rather widely, most notably into Eastern and Central Asia while among the Rus Vikings, into Persia, and South to Celtiberia (Spain). He has collected what songs and music he can during his travels, and loves best to play for dancing. He still prefers to wear his native Northern dress, except when serving as retainer to his Clann's Chieftain. He is betrothed to the loveliest lady in ALL the Knowne World, and will SLAY the dog who DARES say otherwise --- and then have a beer with him.

Iride Corsellini (Righteous Sister of the Priory of St Colin) MKA: Jen Hagan Region: Giggleswick Joined SCA: 2000 Era: Florence, Italy 16th Century Persona: Iride was the youngest daughter of a textile merchant who's mother died in a tragic horseback riding accident. When her father's business went belly up, his banker made a bid for her hand in marriage as a way to protect her from poverty. Her elderly husband took a shine to her pecular ways and allowed her to do most unmaidenly things, such as learning how to use a sword. He died early in their marriage, leaving Iride a wealthy widow able to scandalize Florence by carrying a sword, travelling extensively, and associating with some unsavory characters who seem to think they are 11th c. Vikings. Activities: fencing, sewing, embroidery, wood carving, cooking, archery, calligraphy and illumination, Viking studies, and a few things I haven't tried yet.
