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.

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.
