==Persona==

Soffya is a 15th century salt merchant from Lübeck, Germany. She is involved in trade through the Hanseatic League.

==My SCA Story==
I have supported The Dream through my local barony of Flaming Gryphon for almost 25 years, having served as its Territorial [[Baroness]] by the grace of Their Majesties Alasdair and Guenievre. Made a Court Baroness by Ullr and AnneLyse, and elevated to the Order of the Pelican by William and Isolde.

I am always an enabler and facilitator, ready to help where able and refer when my knowledge is not enough. In particular, I encourage the archery community and the scribal arts, niches which may not be readily accessible to all.

==Interests and SCA-related hobbies==

===Scribal arts===

I became a [[scribe]] shortly after being invested as territorial baroness of Flaming Gryphon, because I figured I should help create the awards that I was handing out. I think the most important award someone will ever get is their [[Award of Arms]], since it's the only honor given to the vast majority of people who participate in the Society, and I strongly believe that a scribe should put forth their best work on AoAs for this reason.

===Tiny Dragons===

I love tiny dragons because painting them allows for more flexibility with design and size on scrolls instead of having to leave a defined space for the stamp that is otherwise used. Some of them look like they skipped arm day at the gym, but they're all individuals.

===Archery===

Archery is another discipline I began in support of the community as landed baroness. One of our veteran archers, James Cunningham, presented me with a crossbow he had made shortly after our investiture in 2004, and I've used it ever since. I've had the honor of being recognized both as a member of the [[Dragon's Barb]] and the Greenwood Company
