Bio Info:
I have always promised Lord Smat that I would add
to his archives and yet being rather untalented in
the way of the written word it seems I constantly
put it off in favor of less strenuous tasks. For
my daughter's sake, however, at the very least I
think it best to put a bit of my history into the
books here lest she ever wonder about her mother.
For those reading, and especially for you, dear
Leila shall you ever come across this, I apologize
now for the informality of this. I rarely tell
stories and prefer to leave such tasks to
Alexander Silvermane, friend and bard. However,
after reading over a few of the entries made by
some dear friends, and indeed some by complete
strangers, I don't feel quite so inadequate.
Still…
I prefer not to speak often of my homeland. I left
a long while ago and my memories of the island
prove themselves to be a mixed blessing. Let it
simply be known that I come from a small island
far to the south, populated by my own people with
a smattering of other such exotic men and women. I
left many years ago when I was still a girl to
seek out the rest of the world. Our island was
always quite enclosed, and the people, as I've
found now were rather close-minded. Sometimes,
though, I can't but think it's not such a bad
thing. The people there are, for the most part,
content with their lives and the lack of worldly
knowledge they carry. I was…oh…sixteen perhaps
when I left? My memory is really quite poor and
I've never found age to be of great importance
regardless. I traveled for many years, mostly
along the coastline of the mainland, occasionally
hopping to other islands, once in awhile venturing
very far inland. I was met as an oddity in nearly
every place I went. As it still follows today. It
seems rarely a day goes by that some traveler
doesn't choke on his drink as I walk past. One
would think that a woman's ears are hardly
anything to take any notice of and I find it
remarkable the number of people who find
themselves immediately superior because they have
the ears of an ape. And sometimes a pointed ape.
I beg your pardon if I sound bitter, I had a
rather irritating run in just the other day and it
seems to have affected my judgement further.
