== Introduction ==
<big>'''Baroness Margaret Cochrane'''</big>


I'm currently senesschal for Kappellenberg, a canton in Windmasters' Hill.  I'm also the warranted A&S officer.  I'm an at-large herald.  I'm the deputy kingdom web minister for the [https://authorizations.mol.atlantia.sca.org MoL authorizations] website (which is still a tiny bit broken from the great Dreamhost upgrade of 2019).

== Persona ==
I'm an early 21st century SCAdian. Nominally 12th century lowland Scots. I have been in the Society since October 1990 as a freshman in college, when I found a flyer promising to teach me how to make chain mail. I weave as often as I can, knit and embroider, and sew as little as possible. I'm also a middling-competent musician with several instruments and a pitch problem with singing after cancer treatment that I'm trying to overcome.


I'm resisting the urge to do this in bullet point format, because I think that looks too corporate.
