Introduction
Melodia Shaw lives in al-Barran (Albuquerque, NM) in the Kingdom of the Outlands. She is a Mistress of the Pelican. She has been playing in the SCA since Oct of 1995. Started in Ansteorra, in the Shire of Brad Leah. Moved to the Outlands in 2002. Her Favorite thing in the SCA is doing Retinue.

Persona
Melodia is in 1532. She was raised in Ireland by her mother, but her father was a scotish captain. They never married. She left home at the age of 16 and joined her cousins ship to look for her father. She eventually found him but once he knew she was a Pirat... Privatier, he turned away from her. She vowed to make her life right and left her former life to become the person her father and herself would be proud of.
