Brief description of your persona: Lady Muirghein MacKiernan
is the daughter of a Trade Merchant. Her mother died in childbirth,
so she has been largely raised among men, thus her scandalous interest
in fencing.
When you started fighting: 1995
Started fighting because: my boyfriend at the time was fencing
and I’ve always love the 3 Musketeers and that sort of thing.
Any advice you would give a new lady fencer: Stick
with it. We tend to hit more plateaus than men, but it is a truly enjoyable
game.
Or anything else you might wish to add: :) Just truly
enjoy the game you play, whether it’s fencing, heavy fighting,
archery, siege engines, A&S or service. It should be fun. If it’s
not fun, why are you doing it?
