Persona Story:

Hrosvitha von Celle, known to most as Vitha, was born in Celle, a small town in northern Germany. The daughter of a local woodcarver and a migrant gypsy, she learned at an early age about independence. When Vitha was only a 3 year old babe, her mother decided she had been in one place too long and took back to the road. As a result, Vitha's memory of her mother is quite vague. Her father raised her as best he could as a single parent. Not wanting her to be left without marketable skills he taught her music, cooking self defense, and oddly enough, sewing.

At the age of 15, Vitha decided to set out to find her mother. Although her father was not thrilled with this prospect, he prepared her as best he could, providing her with portable musical instruments, and weapons to defend herself with. Having become an accomplished seamstress and baker, Vitha worked her way to Paris, France, the fashion capital. There she met Aramis de Cantigny, a merchant marine who happened to have a lovely load of brocades that week. Taking a liking to him and he to her, the two set out to sell wares together.

Vitha and Aramis also know a thing or two about music. In fact, they can make really lovely music together. Their two most recent collaborations are Jamie (Bella) and Sam.

Vitha began life in the SCA in 1996 in the Colligium of Svathy Sebestia in the Middle Kingdom, Principality (now Kindgom) of Northshield. She moved to the Canton of Kapellenburg, (Barony of Windmaster’s Hill, Kingdom of Atlantia). Upon completing her education, she moved yet again to the Barony of Ponte Alto. She now resides just a bit further north in the Barony of Lochmere, but she maintains close ties to Ponte Alto & her family in Northshield.
