Bio Info:


To continue with my story, though this is hardly the place to launch into long tales, I traveled for many years. The friends I made during those journeys were few and far between. I was quite shy and my ears seemed to bring such considerable notice that sometimes it was easier to simply stay quiet. I got over that, however. It seems that some people can't accept a person until they're clubbed over the head with the truth of the matter. Oh dear, there I go again. Sorry. As it is, I've not seen any of my friends from those years for quite some time. One who was most dear, I've heard, was killed in battle in a distant land. The name of both land and friend will remain my own, as will the memories of such. Sometimes a woman is allowed a few secrets.

After quite some time…five years perhaps? No, I was twenty-two when I arrived here…Seven, then, I arrived in Ravensdale. There have been few places that I've found more welcoming, though I must admit that sometimes I refused to allow myself to be ignored. That, Leila, seems the way to go sometimes. The people that allow themselves to be overlooked are the same who complain of such. As it is, the patrons excused, and perhaps were amused by my exuberance and I've made a host of friends here that I will not seek to list. After all, my memory is poor and scattered, as I've mentioned, and to leave one out of the list would no doubt be a source of mild contention. I have lived in Ravensdale off and on for many years now, occasionally living on the small isle of Argo whilst married. That, now, is over, and I've sought to return to Ravensdale. Lord Smat has been kind enough to offer me a plot of land for a small farm, an offer which I most readily accepted.

I feel it important to mention in this frightfully brief introduction that I am not the only dustbunnie to travel these lands. And no, I do not speak of my people. There is another woman with my name, my face, and most of my history who also travels…who shares the friends and loves I do. Our stories are intertwined by her choice alone, but to explain such here would no doubt confuse the poor readers. Perhaps I'll add another chapter. No doubt I'd best write a brief history for her, as well, lest she never return to do such herself.
