ANST - Best Persona playing at events..

[Martin, Brian]

In Response to HE Octavia's question about some of the best persona 
playing at events - a great thread that has been lost in the 
discussion of possible principalities - I felt compelled to mention 
Lyonesse two years ago. That was the year that a Japanese contingent 
lead by Daffy-san was at attendance at the tournament.

Sir Daffydd playing a Japanese persona was brilliant, as was his 
interpreter, Octavia, (sorry, I don't remember the name that she was 
using at the event). Or those who weren't there, Daffy-san spoke no 
English, so his interrupter followed him everywhere he went and 
translated for him. She walked a few steps behind him and always spoke 
discreetly, as befits a good interpreter.

The best part of Daffy-san's performance, however, was when he went 
before the lady of his field and offered to  kill himself for failing 
to vanquish all of his foes in a melee. It was, as I said, brilliant!

later that evening, Kein, Alisha, myself and others visited 
Daffy-san's pavilion, drank sake and had a wonderful time. Well, I 
think that I had a good time. I was told that I had a good time. That 
sake is really something. :)

I would say that was one of many fantastic instances of persona play 
that I've seen in the SCA.
