Lady Diana joined the SCA on June 6, 2015. She jokingly, yet accurately, refers to this as “D-Day”.  She lives outside of any Baronial boarders in Crown Land, but calls the Barony of Windmasters Hill her home. She was belted as Protégé’ to Dame Elisabeth of Rosewood (Shrewlet) in October 2017 at War of the Wings. She is a member of the service and hospitality household, Rosewolf Haven.

She was belted as [[Protégé]] to [[Elizabeth of Rosewood|Dame Elizabeth of Rosewood (Shrewlet)]] in October 2017 at [[War of the Wings]]. She is a member of the service and hospitality household, [[Rosewolf Haven]].  


In service, she is currently Windmasters Hill’s Head Retainer, and also serves when she can as a retainer for Atlantian Royalty, other Baronies, and for visitors from other Kingdoms. She is the cleaner of kitchens, washer of dishes, server of feasts, bearer of water, troll, and willing extra hands for setup and tear down at events. She also volunteers her time helping other SCAdians in their mundane lives.

Full of mischief and having a love for shenanigans, Lady Diana can be a con artist and trickster. She has been known to hide wording in the contracts that she is commissioned to scribe for others which award her privileges. She once scribed, in the border of her protégé’ brother and Peer’s contract, wording that bound her brother to her own service, bound her Peer to acknowledge that she would always be the favorite protégé’, and that all disagreements between herself and her new brother would side on Diana’s own behalf. Both Peer and protégé’ unwittingly signed the contract in the presence of then Prince Christoph and Princess Adelhait, as well as dozens of other members of the Atlantian populace.

Diana’s garb persona drifts with the winds. She is currently loving 14th Century clothing and adores a bycocket, but she has also embraced Viking apron dresses with glass beads and brooches. She is considering other late period styles.

10 Musings of an SCA Protege
 
by Lady Diana of Windmasters Hill
 
 
 
1. Don’t try to do everything. It takes away someone else’s opportunity to shine. It also diminishes your ability to be great at what you do. By concentrating on one or two things, you can do a much better job.
 
2. Brag on someone else. Bragging on yourself will make people resentful of you. If you brag on another, you’re showing confidence and leadership while elevating another person.
 
3. Don’t exaggerate what you have done. People will talk. People will know. (See #2)
 
4. Don’t name drop. You knowing someone in power or with authority does not mean you have power and authority. It can also make the person whose name you are dropping uncomfortable.
 
5. You are unique. But so is he, and so is she, and them.
 
6. Don’t expect special treatment, but do treat someone else as if they are special. (see #5)
 
7. Don’t seek praise. If you are doing anything for praise and recognition, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons. Do it because you want to help. Do it to take some the burden off of another. Do it because it’s the right thing to do. Do it when no one is looking.
 
8. Encourage someone else. Let them know that you’re there if they need help. Let them know you won’t let them fail. Then back up what you say.


9. Ask for help when needed. No one will think less of you because you can’t handle all of what is on your plate. Studies have shown that asking for a favor can make people like you better.
== '''A Sampling of Diana's Largesse Projects''' ==


10. Stop and rest. Self care is important. You can’t pour from an empty cup. If you work all the time and don’t stop to enjoy what you’ve worked so hard for, then what is the point of working? Is it for praise and recognition? Re-read #7.

Introduction

Lady Diana of Windmasters' Hill joined the SCA on June 6, 2015. She jokingly, yet accurately, refers to this as “D-Day”. She lives outside of any Baronial boarders in Crown Land, but calls the Barony of Windmasters' Hill her home. She was belted as Protégé to Dame Elizabeth of Rosewood (Shrewlet) in October 2017 at War of the Wings. She is a member of the service and hospitality household, Rosewolf Haven.

In service, she is currently Windmasters' Hill’s Head Retainer, and also serves when she can as a retainer for Atlantian Royalty, other Baronies, and for visitors from other Kingdoms. She is the cleaner of kitchens, washer of dishes, server of feasts, bearer of water, troll, and willing extra hands for setup and tear down at events. She also volunteers her time helping other SCAdians in their mundane lives.

Her passion is largesse and she gives freely of her time and materials to make period appropriate items for both Barony and Kingdom. Her A&S skills include wood turning, woodworking, naalbinding, sewing, and scribal arts. She has created and donated over 2,000 pieces of largesse to date (a few photos are at the bottom of this page).

Persona

Full of mischief and having a love for shenanigans, Lady Diana can be a con artist and trickster. She has been known to hide wording in the contracts that she is commissioned to scribe for others, and by doing so, she awarded herself privileges and gain. She once scribed, in the border of her protégé brother, Lord Njáll Gunnarson, and Peer, Shrewlet's contract, wording that bound her brother to her own service, bound her Peer to acknowledge that she would always be the favorite protégé, and that all disagreements between herself and her new brother would side on Diana’s own behalf. Both Peer and protégé unwittingly signed the contract in the presence of then Prince Christoph and Princess Adelhait, as well as dozens of other members of the Atlantian populace. Link to contract signing here

Diana’s garb persona drifts with the winds. She is currently loving 14th Century clothing and adores a bycocket, but she has also embraced Viking apron dresses with glass beads and brooches. She is considering other late period styles.

Heraldry
