My persona's name is Finnabhair ni Binnech (hence Finny) and my real name is Sara Morris. I based my persona on an iron aged celt (the costuming is easy, I'm by no means a seamstress) and this is an are of which I have a real interest. I find that when I am talking to people they are either the intellectual, arty types (prithy, my Lord?) or they are straight down the line. I prefer the straight down the line approach and I think you'll find that I am quite coloquial when you talk with me. I find the artistic, intelectuals difficult to approach, so I steer clear of that particular scene.
Fantasy is one element of "dress-ups" that I find attractive. I get to explore the fighter in me, but best of all I get to explore the entertainer and singer that I already knew I was and gain satisfaction from being able to get people to listen to my song story and forget about the real world for just a brief moment in their lives.
I guess that's what the whole thing is about for me.
