== Persona ==
Siobhán an Einigh of Connacht is an Irish filidh bard from the kingdom of Connacht, which became the western region of what we now called Ireland. She lived during the tumultuous times surrounding the rise of Brian Boru to power during the early 1000s. She is actually against Boru in the conflict, as Boru's men destroyed her family's lands, leaving her homeless. Where beforehand she entertained as a bard-in-training, made books, and hunted rabbits for the family table, now she sings battle songs, makes armor and hunts in service to her Connachta lords. She is fostered to a formal bardic clan and continues her training as a filidh (ranked) bard.

I dabble in everything in the SCA with three notable exceptions (equestrian, C&I, and dance), but I primarily focus on early Irish culture as a whole, from my garb, armor, food, language, etc. I can translate things into several Celtic languages, particularly Irish, Old Irish, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, and Scots. I am working on translating the major award texts into Irish and Welsh at this time - let me know if there's something you'd like done!
