Proposed name for SCA member Miley Spears: Ariel Lovechild
 
ARIEL
 
Ariel appears in the Bible in Ezra 8:16, Isaiah 29:1-2, Isaiah 29:7, and in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest (for a list of Ariel's quotes, see http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/characters/charlines.php?CharID=Ariel&WorkID=tempest).
 
Ariel of Glastonbury Tor was Calontir's first female knight and reigned three times as Queen  http://calontir.sca.org/herald/armorial/Pages/Lineage.htm
 
LOVECHILD
 
John Lovechild is listed at http://www.archive.org/stream/englishsurnamest00bardiala#page/572
 
The name was used by William Lovechild circa 1248 and Henry Lovechild circa 1327 according to page 235 of A Dictionary of English Surnames by Percy Hide Reaney, Richard Middlewood Wilson  http://books.google.com/books?id=fPoujUPs3hYC&pg=PR7&lpg=PR7&dq=A+dictionary+of+English+surnames+By+Percy+Hide+Reaney,+Richard+Middlewood+Wilson&source=bl&ots=RVq_WAU_9j&sig=56LCxbozDeGQIo169L6mRcnfaYc&hl=en&ei=BZdHTPysL-aN4gad073VAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=lovechild&f=false
 
DEVICE
 
Submitted device is (I believe the blazon would be):
 

Purpure, a mermaid in her vanity proper, in chief a mullet of five points voided and interlaced within and conjoined to an annulet Or.
 
You can see it at http://eldwin.loveshade.org/images/ms_device.jpg
 

Note that a pentacle or pentagram is now accepted in SCA heraldry.  For reference, see  http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldry/loar/2009/03/09-03lar.html#8  and look under Ailis Linne.
 
"Mermaid/Merman -- a seamonster with the body of maiden conjoined with a fish's tail. It is usually depicted with mirror and comb, and in that position is blazoned as a mermaid in her vanity. Mermaids are erect affronty by default, and a mermaid proper is a caucasian human with green tail and yellow hair -- for the Rule of Tincture a mermaid is considered to be neutral. " according to http://heralds.westkingdom.org/CommonBlazonKnowledge.htm
 
Is my blazon right?  Any conflicts?  This have a chance of passing?  Thanks.
