Oh, my sweet Morningstar is so very definately odd, but most true artists 
are I think.  She has *never* been able to keep from doing some form of art 
in any medium since she was 2 or 3.  She is a natural in the food studio as 
well.  Some of you have seen her work in marzipan and sugarplate and other 
illusion foods.  She is a valued member of our cooks guild and knows not to 
bring her rat into the kitchen ~ or the vest it lives in.  She is alway 
shock value to Mistress Margherita, whose comments always begin "Oh child, 
what have you done this time!".
