Domina Michelina of Tuscany

Greetings, I am Domina Michelina of Tuscany and I have been in the SCA for about 6 years.  Domina is Latin for Lady as I have earned my AoA. I was awarded the C.N.N Order of the Cygnet's Nest for working with children.

My persona is a late period widowed Italian woman of independent means, whom is interested in antique or out of fashion clothing. This developed at an early age due to being exposed to many different styles of the different lands she saw while traveling with my parents as a child. And my mother had an extensive collection of items passed down from Great-grandmother and Grandmother.

Since my parents were both well educated and free spirited, I was allowed to develope my own ideas about some less than lady like things. My father rather liked to speak Latin and was intrigued with most things Roman and Latin manuscripts. My mother was a nobleman's daughter with a mind of her own.
I found that I liked to sew, of course and make cordials. I learned how to illuminate scrolls and am still perfecting my calligraphy. But also, I was allowed to learn to defend myself with a crossbow (See below) and get my own set of armor custom made.

I also enjoy camping, cooking with the camp stove and oven.
