Ok suppose its time to introduce myself, My name is Lady Cara di Lupo. I've been in the SCA for nearly 3 years now. I have a device I have my name registered and I have my AOA, I have some average garb and a lot of half done garb and that's about it!
Lets start with the name. I LOVE WOLVES! I'm crazy about them, I'd love one as my best friend and companion - even as my "registered emotional companion" thanks to an episode of 2 broke girls. However, I could never cage a creature that is meant to be free, I wouldn't want to be caged or controlded. And that is why I want a malamute, because its the closest thing! Back to the point, I love wolves, thus I needed a name that had something to do with wolves.
In my first year and a half of SCA I was heavily into Italian, maybe because my favourite film was Ever After. that was actually set in France, but had Italian clothing. Decision made, I wanted to be Italian. Now my name was easier enough, Lupo. The hard part was the first name, I tossed up a lot of things, but after decided upon Italy I browsed the Academy of St Gabriel until I found a name I liked, It also had to be simple so people wouldn't forget me! =D
And that's when I came across Cara. Now for all you Terry Goodkind fans out there I may have been decided by one of his characters, just a little. I was a huge fan of his series and was sort of in love. Anyway here is the character:
She is a Mord-Sith. They were so Bad-Ass I just wanted to be that Awesome. Besides who doesn't wish they were that good looking enough to wear skin tight red leather. HOT! (Cara's the blond)
So, with my name picked out, I have automatically picked myself a location: Catasto of Florence of 1427. I never had a back story to Cara, but I always wanted her to be a traveller or have rich family and just be adventurous or something.
Then, I came across Tudor and I fell in love! Maybe Cara will be from Italy but her father is English and her Mother is Italian. Maybe she is born in the 15th century and her mother thought it nice to use a very old name like Cara?
Anyway these are my musings, I definitely Love the Tudor error more than Italy, not that I don't love Italy too of course, but Tudor doesn't make me look pregnant all the time.
Here is a pic of my in my second Italian dress and opposite is its inspiration:
DECISION! I'm taking nice pictures of me wearing all my garb from now on. I don't have enough photo's of me at events any more where I'm not drunk =/
So Long For Now!
