Arms pending approval

Lady Luka Radokovaia is a resident of Cleftlands struggling to keep to one or two personae. Luka happily goes by any pronouns; when in doubt, just match what they're wearing on the given day. Their alternate, late-period masculine persona is Cesare, byname forthcoming. Luka came to the SCA by way of a background in cosplay and a Master's degree in Medieval Studies at the University of York, which created the perfect storm of dressing silly and loving old stuff. They love making new friends and are happy to help anyone with projects they have an affinity for (most notably sewing and deciphering historical handwriting).


Persona

Luka Radokovaia: A 12th century woman born north of Kyiv, along the Dnieper. Married to the ever-dashing Radok.

Cesare: still marinading, but he sure is Italian.
