[Elfsea] Baronial Questions?

[Kate Rayburn]

I want to be Baroness because:
I once went to a fighter practice.
I didn't know a soul there.
In fact, I didn't really know what the SCA was.
And I met the Baroness
Who invited me to her house to learn to make garb
Who pointed me in the direction to learn
Who supported my "weird" persona
Who taught me to overcome peer fear and that "hats" are people too
And who stuck up for me against a group of Laurels who nearly criticized
me out of the SCA.
She took a piece of her dream and gave it to me for my very own.

I want to be Baroness because:
I once went to a fighter practice.
I didn't know a soul there.
I knew the SCA, but this was a brand new kingdom.
And I met the Baroness
Who helped me find where I fit
Who gave advice on researching my "weird" persona
Who helped make this place my home
And she was a Laurel who showed me not all were like the ones I'd met
before.
She took a piece of her dream and gave it to me for my very own.

I want to be Baroness because I want to pass on the legacies I was given
by these two wonderful Baronesses as a Baroness, for that is the best
way to repay them.
