[Steppes] Persona Developement

[Michelle Dodd]

Quite a bit actually. My mothers family is French & some distant cousin has 
traced the family back to a French Baron in the Alsace, Lorraine region. So 
I used the family name as part of mine & what I was told he had in his 
"arms" (a bear & a rose) in my device. Since I have no idea as to his colors 
or placement in his arms, there was no conflict.
As for my persona, I am the daughter of a traveling merchant, who happens to 
be the fifth son of a noble house. I have sometimes traveled with my father 
& will usually wear the garments of the area we are visiting. Because of 
this I have a varied wardrobe.

( I think I have this blazoned correctly.)

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are 
allowed to remain children all our lives. (Albert Einstein)
