== Introduction ==
Lady Nezhka Orshinaia is a bard from the Kingdom of Atlantia in the Barony of Raven's Cove. She is apprenticed to Master Johann von Solothurn and loves singing, storytelling, and rapier fighting. Her persona is Kievan Rus, but she loves telling stories from all over the world - especially those about dragons!

== Persona ==
Nezhka was fortunate to have been found by a nun on the streets of Kiev. She was taken into the school that was founded by Anna Vsevolodovna, a princess of Kiev and was one of the first students to attend the school Princess Anna created for girls in the 1090s. The curriculum consisted of reading, writing, sewing, rhetoric, and singing as well as teaching the girls Greek and Latin. Nezhka took to the rhetoric and singing in particular and when she finished her studies began to travel with diplomatic envoys sent from Kiev to the Byzantine empire in service to royal family using her new-found skills. During her travels, she was able to meet with many people from all over the world due to the centrality of Byzantium for trade. She began to learn more about other cultures and places and soon decided to offer her services as a literate to other delegations going to and from Kiev.

Eventually, as her success grew, her travels took her farther and farther north and west and she found herself in Denmark where she first met a group of visiting Skalds. Entranced by their abilities as singer and storytellers, she decided to learn more of the bardic arts and followed them back to their home in Iceland where she continues to practice and learn. She continues her travels as well, incorporating the songs and stories from other delegations into her repertoire and has begun to earn her living in this new profession.

== Offices & Positions ==
No matter what, Nezhka enjoys serving individuals, her barony, and the kingdom. She is currently the deputy herald, deputy minister of arts and sciences and social media officer for the Barony of Raven's Cove. She has helped as a landocrat and nastycrat at events and enjoys jumping in where needed.
