 ===== Persona ===== ===== Persona =====
- +Lydia of Tyldenne (she/her) hails from the Cinque Ports in Kent, England, and delights in the riches of the wool trade and ready access to goods from the Continent, all thanks to a wise husband who had the good sense to establish wealth as a merchant before a genteel death at a young enough age to allow Lydia to enjoy her widowhood.  She is a bit of a time traveler, and is focused on the Tudor and Elizabethan for the moment, but she greatly enjoys wandering up and down the timeline as her interests and sewing skills direct her.

 ===== SCA History ===== ===== SCA History =====
-Lydia was born and raised in the territory of the Barony of An Dubhaigeainn, Kingdom of the East, and upon entering university, discovered that many of her cohort in the Stony Book University Science Fiction Forum also waxed joyfully about their "medieval fighting club." With many demands on her time, she was unable to take them up on their invitations to join in, but enjoyed listening to their stories of some extremely intense sounding camping event in Pennsylvania.  After her marriage and relocation from the East to Ealdormere, she and her spouse decided to take up the invitation of her spouse's dear friend Lady Amalthea to attend Paardenbloem in AS LVIII.  That made her remember the tales from her youth which, combined with the many kind welcomes at Paardenbloem, led her to decide she had found a very good place indeed.+Lydia was born and raised in the territory of the Barony of An Dubhaigeainn, Kingdom of the East, where upon entering university discovered that many of her cohort in the Stony Book University Science Fiction Forum also waxed joyfully about their "medieval fighting club."

-Since that first event, Lydia has become a regular attendee at Caldrithig dance practices, has begun sewing garb (with some fits...or misfits, as it were), researching historical knitting and dusted off her drop spindle for the first time in a decade.  She has volunteered to take on the role of Social Media Office, and set up and is part of the moderator team for Caldrithig’s Discord.  She has dabbled in a bit of archery, is reading a great deal of history, and is constantly on the lookout for the next interesting thing to try.+Since that first event, Lydia has become a regular attendee at [[branches:canton:caldrithig|Caldrithig]] dance practices, has begun sewing garb (with some fits...or misfits, as it were), researching historical knitting and dusted off her drop spindle for the first time in a decade.  She has volunteered to take on the role of Social Media Office, and set up and is part of the moderator team for [[branches:canton:caldrithig|Caldrithig]]’s Discord.  She has dabbled in a bit of archery, is reading a great deal of history, and is constantly on the lookout for the next interesting thing to try.

 Lydia's persona grew from genealogy research, sparked by curiosity in the women of her family line.  Throughout her childhood she heard stories of the ancestor who first left England for North America, but nothing of his wife. She now knows Lydia’s name, as well as the names of her daughters, sisters, mother, and grandmother, and many ancestors previously unknown to her.  (She figured Lydia would not mind sharing her name, especially she has found a bunch of other Lydias up and down the family tree!)  Lydia hopes, through her time in the SCA, to expand her knowledge about the Cinque Ports region where that line of her family originated, the events her ancestors experienced, and maybe be so bold as to try to experience some of what they might have known themselves.  Lydia's persona grew from genealogy research, sparked by curiosity in the women of her family line.  Throughout her childhood she heard stories of the ancestor who first left England for North America, but nothing of his wife.

 In her research Lydia has discovered that in a churchyard in Kent, there's a grave belonging to a many-times great aunt who shares her mundane name, and someday she's going to visit it so she can tell her all about everything she's learned. In her research Lydia has discovered that in a churchyard in Kent, there's a grave belonging to a many-times great aunt who shares her mundane name, and someday she's going to visit it so she can tell her all about everything she's learned.
