Esme Bramley
Persona
The Lady Esme Bramley was born in Bramley, England in the 1400's. Raised by the nannies and governess after her mother's unfortunate passing, she was the only child of her merchant father, Lord Richard. The Manor's primary focus was the raising of apples in the vast orchards that surrounded their lands. When she came of age, an advantageous match was made for her...but to an Italian wool merchant. Shipped off to live in (Florence? Venice?), she found herself wed and overseeing a vast villa, who's prime products were wool and wine. At the elbow of her beloved Mother in Law, she took to the local way of life and proved a good head for managing their lands. Her husband proved slothful and lascivious...and later met his fate by way of an unfortunate (?) "stomach complaint". Esme, with the assistance of the ladies of the Villa, took her stand as a Femme Sole, and continued to improve the bounties of her Lands, growing their luxurious wool production into a local force.

History
In her youth, Esme had been introduced, mundanely, to the idea of the SCA by Master Edweard d'Boicewright, late of Calontir, Rest his soul, in an online roleplaying chat group, then on the AOL Service. Over time, she found her local group...but, having very small children, and being rather timid of person, was easily overwhelmed upon meeting such notables as Mistress Thora SharpTooth (mundanely a professor at Vassar College), and Hraldr (the devil if his title could be remembered) and Esme took an 18 year hiatus from the Society. Upon her Mundane husband's retirement from law enforcement, they did what all their ilk do...and moved South in August of 2013. After seeing an image of a local fighter practice in the newspaper two years later, Esme toodled her way to her new Canton's meetings and hasn't looked back since.
