 ====== Dorothea af Holm ======
+ ===== Persona =====
+Dorothea af Holm (Pronounced: dor-o-TAY-ah af Holm) is a fisherman's widow. She is from Holm, a tiny island fishing village granted a special fishing charter by King Christian I of Denmark to fish the Schlei (a fjord). The nearest large town is Schlesvig, home of St. Peter's Cathedral and Schloss Gottorf, and if Dorothea went into the big town, sometimes she saw the Duke and Duchess of Schlesvig and their entourage going by. In the past, Norsemen settled the area at Hedeby before crossing the water and settling in Schlesvig, so she sometimes dug up 'Viking' items when she works in the garden. Her husband drowned while eel fishing in the Schlei, and she finds herself needing to do whatever she can to make ends meet. Her house has flowers in window boxes out front, facing the cobblestone street and the cemetery in the centre of town, while out back her yard, with its herb and kitchen gardens, slopes down to the water; the boat that used to be moored there sold for rent money. She is a devout Christian woman, and works as a lay cook and baker for the nuns at St. Johannes cloister. She would be horrified to learn that some of her daily rituals and superstitions have deep roots in old Norse Pagan beliefs and practices. She has left her tiny town and all the people she knows to travel the 'wide world' and learn what skills she can, to bring back home and thereby support herself. During her travels she has met Barons and Baronesses, Counts and Countesses, Dukes and Duchesses, and even Kings and Queens.
