I would suggest that the above sounds like a good starting description of 
"playing persona" with the particular culture bits for flavor the only 
thing lacking. That means your description could be that of a Lion -- and 
we have only 9 ladies who have achieved that award (only 18% compared to 
82% male Lions): Megan Andoniel of Glengalen, Aeruin ni hEarain o Chonnemara, Willow de Wisp, Sieglinda Syr, Mari ferch Rathtyen, Phillipa of Rookhaven, Thordis (Freydis) Hakonarsdottir, Gunnora (Halakarva) silfraharr and Tessa of the Gardens.

IMHO, we need more lady Lions! If you know of a good candidate(s), please 
send recommendation letter(s) to the Crown.
