Staff
The Kaleidoscope Gathering has, for twenty years, been an act of love, dedication and commitment to the Pagan community by a group of volunteers. Incredibly, many of these volunteers have remained year after year. When eventually they decide to retire, most take up residence in a hammock and enjoy the festival from a different perspective. Thus, although we have bid farewell to Lady Pamilla, Carpenar, Fraser (the Queen of Frivolity), Isabeau and Rick “Head Troll” Lutes, we are doing so only in an official capacity!
The Kaleidoscope Gathering is a spiritual and community endeavour that to provides an inclusive, safe, fun and family-friendly environment for all members of the community and those who are Pagan-curious or friendly. The safety and enjoyment of our guests is paramount to everyone involved in the Kaleidoscope Gathering. Below, meet some of the dedicated people who bring you Canada’s largest Pagan festival every year. Although our biographies are – thanks to Kieran the Pirate – irreverent and self-deprecating, we remain serious in our commitment to our guests, the community and each other. Blessed Be.
Maryanne "MA, Auntie M" Pearce
One of Canada’s better-kept military secrets is the fact that, years ago, we had had our own research program to develop a new breed of “super soldier.” One day one of the researchers experimented with combining Mohawk and Celtic DNA. The experiment was successful. Too successful, it turned out, when the subject escaped from her cell, beat all the researchers and soldiers senseless, and bashed her way out through a reinforced concrete wall. A couple of decades later, the army still has not caught up with Maryanne. This may be because Maryanne (aka MA, or Auntie M if you are a small child or foster dog) is currently studying for a PhD in law, and your average soldier rightly feels that a Celtic Mohawk legal expert is something he is definitely NOT paid enough to deal with. Or it may simply be because Maryanne has become very adept at camouflaging herself under a giant pile of rescued Great Pyrenees dogs.
To date, only two people have successfully got past MA’s defenses and lived to tell the tale. One is Auz who, in the true Viking spirit of doing recklessly brave and insane things, married her. The other is Lady Pamilla, who hypnotized MA with something shiny and tricked her into taking over KG. Not content with that momentous task, MA & Auz decided that running one festival would not be enough challenge, so they should purchase a special events campground for lots of festivals and events can take place. No doubt, however, MA will approach these new challenges as she always has – screaming, with a sword in one hand and a tomahawk in the other.
Austin "Auz the Viking" Lawrence
At first glance, Austin Lawrence (aka Auz the Viking) is your typical Viking warrior: blond, bearded, over six feet tall. In talking to him, however, one quickly realizes that if Auz had been a Viking, he would have been the one standing in the longboat saying, “Do we really have to do this pillaging and burning thing all the time? Can’t we all just get along?” At which point he likely would have been tossed overboard, so it’s probably a good thing he was never really a Viking.
Auz has shown his Viking-ness courage/silliness in non-violent ways, such as repeatedly doing insane things like agreeing to help run KG, buying a campground, and marrying hybrid Celtic-Mohawk warrior (see above). Auz does have the Viking berserker tendency to laugh in the face of peril. So far peril is taking it personally, and seems to be sulking in the corner.
At KG 2009 Auz was crowned Stag King. There is absolutely no truth to the rumour the organizers were bribed with a barrel of mead and lifetime passes to Raven’s Knoll.

The Flying Monkeys are the KG security team. Equipped with radios, coffee and pithy jokes, the Flying Monkeys are the day-to-day hosts of the festival. They provide directions to parking, registration, the beach, etc., as well as help you find your tent when you forgot your flashlight. They enforce the rules for everyone’s safety and enjoyment, but do so with a smile. The Flying Monkeys are on site and working 24/7. Should you have a problem, even if it is not security related, the Flying Monkeys can help you find the correct staff member to assist.
Badger Jones, Head of the Flying Monkeys
Way back in KG history, someone came up with the brilliant idea that what the Fest security team – aka the Flying Monkeys – really needed was a martial arts master. They were probably thinking of a John Carradine-Chuck Norris sort of character. What they got was Badger – a somewhat bewildered Caucasian Jackie Chan with a bearing so amiable he has trouble scaring chipmunks, and who carries so many edged implements of destruction that he clanks when he walks and tends to fall over backwards from the weight. (Tip: Don’t ask “does anyone have a knife?” around Badger. You’ll be there a very, very long time.)
Having been promised sharp shiny things and a radio, Badger has been dragged into the madness. KG 2010 was Badger’s first solo flight as Wing Commander of the Flying Monkeys - a ragtag band of Vikings, rednecks, amazons, pirates, and other assorted oddballs who consider making animal noises over the radio to be the pinnacle of comedy. Don’t you feel safer already?
Shamrock, Flying Monkey
She may be cute, but she is not soft. Annoy The Shamrock and you will quickly learn the error of your ways. It’s like being savaged by a titanium teddy bear. Back in the real world Shamrock is a police officer. This makes her unique among KG security in being able to claim some level of actual professional competence in the field of security. Unsurprisingly, this completely fails to garner any additional respect from the rest of the security team who treat everyone with equal irreverence. Please note that at Fest she is on vacation. So, any hounding her about past tickets will be severely punished. Shamrock is also a High Priestess in the Celtic-ceremonial tradition, which means what she’ll do to you ethereally will make what she just did to you physically seem like a walk in the park.
Kieran Green (aka Blackhand Sam), Flying Monkey
Kieran is the original Kaleidoscope pirate (accept no substitutes). He has been accused of a wide range of scallywaggery, including: Viking baiting, telling horrible pirate puns at bardic, aiding and abetting the Ferryman’s shenanigans, boarding a Viking longboat and singing ‘Barrett’s Privateers’ from the deck thereof, changing the name of “Poplar Lane” at Whispering Pines to “Pirate Lane”, and causing Auz to confuse a Viking longboat with a pirate ship in front of a large audience (much to Carpenar’s dismay). Along with Gypsy Dee and the Ferryman, Kieran is one of the three founding Captains of the new alliance of Pagan pirates, the Brethren of the Fest.
In order to meet new equality opportunity hiring quotas (too many Vikings, not enough pirates) Kieran was inducted into the KG security crew in 2009. Some believe this may have been a cruel parting joke played by Rick on his successor, Badger.
Kieran is married to Kate Summerbell, who inexplicably encourages him in his piratical delusions. Kat is by turns amused, bemused, and terrified by Kieran’s growing immersion in the murky world of KG staff. Kat and Kieran have twin daughters, Kiara and Keilidh. This is possibly because Kieran says it is so hard to find good crew, you might as well grow them from scratch yourself.
Kieran is also part of KG’s programming team, helping to manhandle the workshops, rituals and other special events into web-worthy brilliance, gorgeous print versions and witty staff bios!
Jason "Eagle Eyes" Perrault, Flying Monkey
Jason “Eagle Eyes” Perrault has distinguished himself as one of the few people capable of drawing extended sexual innuendo out of fixing a roof. How he got his name is bit of a mystery. He is usually seen around KG walking into trees and buildings. While on security duty at the Raven’s Knoll open house he was observed holding a squirrel up to one ear and talking into it, under the apparent impression it was a radio. We are led to conclude the eagle for which he was named was about 80 years old and suffering from severe glaucoma. One day Jason saw a posting requesting a volunteer to lead the KG “Adopt a Newbie Program.” Peering myopically at the page, ole’ Eagle Eyes thought it said “Adopt a Nudist Program” and signed up immediately. He’s doing a great job easing the culture shock for Fest virgins. The fact that many do not turn out to be nudists hasn’t seemed to bother him, as they are all just a blur anyway.
Greg Fournier, Flying Monkey
A self-confessed computer geek and gamer, few people know the film “Wargames” was actually based off of Greg’s life. However to throw the authorities off the scent he tells people he works in “adaptive computer technologies”. He loves helping to make
life easier for anyone he can and is always willing to lend a hand (and a dimpled smile)
wherever needed. An eclectic pagan, for most of his life he has grown and expanded his
spiritual base, making room for the practices and ideologies of many paths. Lately, however, Greg has had to take up cat-burglary to meet his wife Sammy’s insatiable lust for shiny things.
Ron, Flying Monkey
After the demise of Goldfinger, henchman Oddjob drifted from odd job to odd job. After desperate financial circumstances forced him to take a cameo appearance in the terrible live action Inspector Gadget, he realized his life had sunk to a new low. He headed off to the remote Himalayas to meditate and find new direction at a Shaolin monastery. What he found instead was Badger, who knew talent when he saw it and thought that throwing razor-embedded bowlers was a really neat trick. Oddjob changed his name to Ron, and now spends his days happily ambling about Raven’s Knoll as henchman to an evil genius whose biggest ambition is taking over someone’s hammock.
Paul
Gypsy Birch, Flying Monkey
If you think you see someone wandering silently through the evening shadows, it could very well be Gypsy. While he may generally be a man of few words, beware if you become a solo captive audience: he’s absolutely capable of rambling on endlessly about inane nonsense, and will undoubtedly do so if you give him the opportunity. Of course, if you’d prefer something along the lines of a story or a joke, he’s more than willing to bore you with one of those instead. (Staff note: The only proven way to escape a Gypsy monologue is to point and say, “What’s that? Something shiny in the forest!’ and then run very fast in the other direction.) Gypsy is very excited to be a part of the Flying Monkeys, and hopes that his penchant for late nights of aimlessly meandering throughout Raven's Knoll will come in handy, because he doubts his ability to nap at any time of the day will be very useful to anyone.

The Communications team of the KG staff are responsible for a variety of tasks: writing information for the website, programming, whiteboard changes, communications, radio maintenance and assignment and databases.
Shane "Bubba" Hultquist, Web Master of the Universe
Long, long ago, in a Ford Galaxy far, far away, the wandering spirit of Loki the Norse god of mischief possessed the body of an Appalachian Mountain moonshiner. The result was Shane, aka “Bubba”. Faced with the horrifying prospect of a redneck Viking, the KG organizers did the only thing possible under the circumstances… they put him on the security team. Subsequent attempts to part Shane from his radio have not been pleasant to witness. Then Shane was given the ok to launch the annual KG Redneck Games. It was hoped this would keep him out of trouble, which just goes to show how amazingly foolish some people can be. However, Brynn has managed to pry the radio from his Viking hands and direct them to helping Auz keep the glorious KG website updated. (He will have to get his flying monkey ya-yas out a few times during KG, we are sure!)
A few years ago Shane took part in an archeological dig in Gotland, Sweden. No one is entirely sure what he was looking for, but so far people aren’t buying his claim to have unearthed and reconstructed a suit of Viking chainmail lingerie and an authentic Norse moonshine still. (They are, however, however, buying his chainmail lingerie and wearing plaid in homage to Bubba, which again goes to show how amazingly foolish some people can be.)
Mike, King of the Radios & Coffee
Mike originally hails from a remote mountainous region in Eastern Europe, where he spent his days in the dungeon of his castle, surrounded by crackling Tesla coils, wearing a white lab coat and screaming “It’s alive! It’s alive!” He immigrated to Canada some time ago, closely pursued by a mob waving torches and pitchforks. At KG he helps feed the staff radio addiction, keeping the communications system up and running. Mike himself apparently exists on a diet consisting of nothing but coffee. As yet, no one has had the nerve to look in Mike’s tent. It’s the one with the lightning rod on top.

The Registration team is the first people most KG attendees meet. They are the smiling, occasionally odd, but always friendly faces of KG. They do the very important job of ensuring everyone is registered, banded, given the information needed to get their camp set up and off they go – in under 5 minutes. The Registration area is called "The Rabbit Hole", as it is indeed the passage into the wondrous and slightly odd world of the Kaleidoscope Gathering.
Julie Desrosiers, Head of Registration
Julie is another acolyte in the great Druid Conspiracy to make the world speak Gaelic. Like Stacey, she is a member of the secretive underground Thornhaven cabal and the radical militant Ar n-Oran Gaelic Choir. Julie’s evil specialty is the devising of horribly long and Byzantine rituals which the conspiracy uses to brain wash new recruits. As one survivor testified: “After one of those rituals, learning Gaelic seems simple and easy!” At the vanguard of the subversive Gaelic infiltration, Julie has insinuated herself into the position of Head of Registration at KG this year. She is married to Brad MacDonald, the so-called “Pagan MacGyver” and Thornhaven mad inventor.
Sonia, Registration
Sophie Beaulne, Registration
It was Sophie’s fascination with strange and unusual animals that led her to a career as a veterinary technician. It is also a plausible explanation for her decision to join the staff of KG, not to mention her seven-year relationship with Jason “Eagle-Eyes” Perreault. Sophie is one of KG’s “greeters”. Given the culture shock that often accompanies first exposure to fest, this probably qualifies under the heading of ‘care and treatment of small, terrified animals.” Or it may simply be an excuse to study strange new specimens entering the gene pool. However, so far no new fest-attendees have consented to her request to fit them with radio tracking collars.
Boots Lancaster
This booted Pilgrim was found wandering the shores of the river Styx by the Ferryman who knew exactly where to bring this abandoned soul....after a good meal and plentiful time in the hottub M-A bestowed the moniker by which she is now known (or is it reknown?) and she came to stay. New to the Pagan life she is still feeling her way along the many and varied paths. You can usually find her flitting about RK, helping where she can, and just loving the energy. One caveat: If found carrying a bag of quarters....cover your nipples.
Cat F., Hydro Fairy
Cat is a very easy individual to spot. She is the one wearing the permanent expression of horrified disbelief and displaying an impressive and growing collection of nervous twitches. Competent and conscientious professionals should not have to deal with people who seal up electrical boxes with silly putty and dig up power lines with a post hole auger. Being forced to spend hours alone at RK with Brendan “Igor” Roche probably didn’t help either. This may be why Cat’s hands, when not full of tools, are usually full of numerous bottles of Black Cherry wine.
Angela Jones
Sammy Fournier
Sammy is an eclectic pagan, artist, crafter, and insane magpie. She currently runs Silver Moon Jewellery with her husband, Greg, as a cover for her mad lust for shiny things worthy of a James Bond supervillain. When not hawking her wares she can be found sketching and painting her thoughts into reality or simply reading a good book. She is always looking for new thoughts and ideas and has a great interest in anything theology or psychology related. If you are chatting with Sammy and notice her eyeballing your accessories while muttering “my preciousss”… run. Run fast.
Baldur,, Registration Dog
At the age of six, Baldur built a miniature nuclear reactor using the radioactive material scraped from ten thousand of glow-in-the dark watches. By 10 he had earned a PhD in Theoretical Physics, stunning the scientific world with his radical theories on the interaction between axions and black holes. Currently Baldur is working with Stephen Hawking at RIM’s Perimeter Institute. In his spare time, Baldur plays the Oboe with the Boston Pops. If you happen to run into Baldur around KG, please don’t mention his body hair problem or speech impediment… he’s very sensitive about it.

The KG festival is very fortunate to have professional healers on staff. Although every camper should have their own first aid kit, there is a boo-boo kit at Registration, and the Healers are available for more serious injuries or illnesses. However, Healers do not prescribe nor provide any medication, even over the counter medication.
Polka Dot Dan, Head Healer
If during fest you should suddenly find yourself feeling unwell, and a nice looking fellow asks you ‘Do you see spots?’, then you may have imbibed far too much, or you have just come face to face with Polka Dot Dan, one of KG’s official medic.
We recognize that having 6 years’ experience as a medic with the Canadian Armed Forces, having put his life on the line in extreme and difficult situations, in far off and exotic places just barely qualifies Dan to survive a week as a KG’s Medic... but perhaps after a few more fests he will be better prepared to serve his country. After all, Polka Dot Dan has often been heard saying : ‘War may be Hell, but it’s nothing compared to the grueling work of trying to keep hundreds of Pagans from drinking, dancing and feasting themselves into oblivion!’. So true, polka dot man, so true.
Princess Buttercup, Healer
|
Before, throughout and after KG, much work is needed to ensure everyone has a safe, fun and comfortable time. Picnic tables need to be fixed, moved and set up. Tarps and tents erected, grass cut, branches trimmed, bathrooms cleaned, things fixed, tiki torches filled, toilet paper stacked … – it’s a huge job, and we are happy to have experienced and handy folks to make light work of a large load.
Brendan "Brendan the Handy" Roche, Head Troll
Brendan Roche (aka Brendan #2, aka Handy Brendan) is the local Igor... albeit an Igor in a sarong. He is usually seen lurching along on mysterious errands that keep the infrastructure of KG and Raven’s Knoll functioning like a well-oiled machine. Ok… a well-oiled machine with bits that go “sproing!” occasionally. Brendan continually works minor miracles like fixing the tractor when Auz has managed to get the gears jammed in reverse. If you see the staff staggering and moo’ing, they’ve likely been subjected to one of Brendan’s milkshakes. If you see Brendan passing with a shovel and a coffin, it’s best not to ask.
Crazy Dave, Troll/God of the Skidster/Creator of the Uni...Cauldron
For many people at Raven’s Knoll, their first impression (and in some cases possibly their last) of CrazyDave Allin is of a cackling maniac in the cockpit of a skidster bearing down on them like Sigourney Weaver taking down an alien. If you experience what seems to be a sudden and inexplicable total eclipse of the sun, don’t worry. It’s just CrazyDave driving by in his monster truck. CrazyDave spends most of his days at RK madly excavating a sand pit on a single-minded mission of mercy to create a private swimming hole for over-heated and over-clothed pagans. After too many hours in the blazing sun, however, some are starting to worry that CrazyDave may not know where to stop and will simply keep digging like some golem from the fairy tales until, instead of a swimming hole, RK has its own tunnel to Australia. CrazyDave would like people to know there is no need to thank him. Simply watching people disro… er… I mean… simply enjoying hard work amongst friends is reward enough.
Angela Gray, Troll/Green Fairy
Several years ago, a lone green witch wandered out of the wild mountains to the far North-West, and into the Ottawa Valley. Her journeys took her far and wide, until her aimless footsteps brought her into the very heart of Raven’s Knoll. When she heard the wind whispering through the trees in the Birch Grove, she stopped dead in her tracks, sat down on the ground, and began a lively conversation with the forest around her.
When Brendan the Handy came upon this strange woman sitting in his back yard, talking to trees, he took what he felt was the only reasonable course of action: he invited her in for tea. Somewhat to his bemusement, she has never left. At KG, she can be found happily tending “her” forest and its associated buildings, introducing fest-goers to her various arboreal friends, and, in true green witch fashion, plotting ways to make the festival even more Earth-friendly than it already is.
Nic, Troll/Green Fairy
His first trip to the Knoll was an interesting one (small enough group around the fire, with some mead flowing, and he might tell you about it some
time). But despite the fact that MA was convinced he was freaked out by the whole experience, he was back the very next work weekend. It has been a
place where he's reconnected with old friends and forged new friendships as well. The place has truely become a second home and somewhere he can explore
his true self. You will find him helping out where ever he can. And although his spirtual path has many possible roads, where ever the journey leads,
Raven's Knoll holds the key.
Kai, Troll

The Firepit is the drawing point for many people at KG. Fire Keepers keep the fire tended, dancers and drummers safe and enforce the rules of the festival. This year, we are introducing a fire pit moderator, who will help keep the drummers and dancers – and spectators – happy and safe by doing fire pit etiquette and keeping the flow on the go.
Salamander, Fire Keeper

The Children’s Programming at KG is amazing. This is not a baby sitting service, however, and parents need to be on hand to assist. The children’s programming has activities for children of different ages, as well as toys for general play. Additional hands are always welcome..

Laurie Waller Benson
Laurie Waller Benson has been going to Festivals since she was even smaller.
At KG she works with the other two Lauries in Munchkinland, using her Arts, Music and Drama background, as well as her Montessori training, to inspire creativity. A Yoga and Belly Fit teacher in Cannington, she recently achieved the first half of her Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Frog Lotus Yoga in Mexico. She met Jock MacGregor while working as a professional actress in Toronto, and they have two beautiful blazing redheaded young adults (Robin and Mairen) who were raised at Festivals. True to family form, Robin is now Mayor of Zombietown. Mairen can usually be found selling coffee, at home and here.

Rikki LaCoste

The concerts and special events of KG could not happen without the professional assistance of our Music and Mirth staff.
Jock MacGregor
We are not entirely sure whether Jock is an actor pretending to be a Scotsman, a Scotsman pretending to be an actor, or something else entirely pretending to be both. The latter option seems most likely given the fact he has somehow managed to spawn a miniature wooden clone of himself. We’re not quite sure how this happened, although Carpenar may have been involved in some capacity. We were too frightened to press for more information. Whatever he is, KG Bardic would simply not be the same without his colourful narrative. A man of many talents, Jock also has the ability to speak conversational Orang-utan (ook!).
Pretty Greg

Jordan
There is a theory that Jordan Phoenix is not in fact human, but rather a particularly intelligent tree from the deep forests of Whispering Pines who decided one day to wander up to the fire pit and see what all the fuss was about. This theory is popular among those who get a crick in the neck while talking to him. Having emerged from the woods Jordan worked for a while in the movie business, playing an Ent in Lord of the Rings. He now pursues a vocation in the library sciences because books apparently remind him of someone he knew. One fateful day, an unknown individual introduced Jordan to mead-making. Some day a monument will be erected to this unsung hero. Jordan is also a past Stag King. How his successor managed to bring him down at the end of his reign remains something of a mystery, although it is rumoured a 2-man chainsaw was required.
Christine O'Connor, Queen of This, That, and That Other Thing
Christine has been around KG since time immemorial, as her inaugural Bardic missive made clear. Despite being naturally rebellious, not to mention easily bored and distracted, she has nevertheless managed to settle down and concentrate just long enough to produce two Bachelors degrees, four children and seven grandchildren. She is, however, not even slightly ready to be grown up. When this does occur, she hopes to be just like Granny Weatherwax.
At some point, probably while she was distracted by a shiny thing, someone managed to con Christine into becoming the official archivist for the Kaleidoscope Gathering. At least this is her alibi as she has been seen running about wielding a camera whilst cackling madly (she swears no pics will be taken without permission and will be used strictly for the archives and not publication on the internet or elsewhere.)
She is also a fabulous artist - one of her fabulous creations, a RAVEN, now lives happily in Raven's Roost, the main house at Raven's Knoll. It is frightening to contemplate what Christine might accomplish if only she weren’t so easily distr… ooh! Shiny thing!
Helmut, Magical Carnie (Vendor Coordination / Herding)
Helmut is KG’s living incarnation of Vulcan, God of Bashing Big Lumps of Metal. He has been bashing big lumps of metal for some 40 years now, and has been selling pretty, shiny lumps of bashed metal to pagan fest-goers for over 27 years. Helmut is the acknowledged Dean and Master of all who vend at KG… mostly because failing to acknowledge large men wielding heavy hammers is often bad for the health. In more recent years, Helmut has begun running the archery lists at KG. This is possibly because Helmut felt some vendors were not sufficiently awed and terrified. Anyone wishing to see and purchase Helmut’s pretty bashed lumps of metal (and other assorted non-metal pretty things) can find them at festivals and other gatherings where Pagans might have money in their pockets.
Gus Croteau, Magical Carnie (Vendor Coordination / Herding)
Jack Layton may have had Canada’s most famous ‘stache, but long before Jack there was Gus. The smiling walrus has become an icon of KG’s vendor’s row. Part of the team responsible for shepherding KG’s ever-growing herd of vendors, Gus is the amiable Yin to Helmut’s glowering, grumbling Yang. Purveyor of fine sarongs, jewellery and similar fest essentials, Gus also has been known to advertise “moustache rides”. We haven’t had the nerve to ask what that entails.

Kadri Weiler Head Yägermistress
Kadri Weiler was an innocent, unsuspecting chef who had the misfortune to be working in a small restaurant one day when a certain Celtic warrior maiden, along with her Viking mate, stopped by for a snack. They liked their meal so much they invaded the kitchen, abducted the chef, and sailed off with her chained up in their 4-wheel-drive long boat. In what is no doubt a truly horrendous case of Stockholm Syndrome, Kadri has come to love her captors and now seems quite content to continue feeding them as the Yagermistress, as well as running errands, caring for pets including Badgers), and generally keeping MA from going completely off the rails.
“Cabin Boy” Alex
Known across the Knoll for his dashing grins and support of shenanigans, the Cabin Boy is pleased to offer his services in a more official capacity this year. He likes medieval drinking songs, swimming in the Cauldron, and pillaging booty with his mateys. When not at fest, he can be found “liking” things on Facebook and finding ways to carpool to work weekends. All his novels are still unpublishable.
Peter C Lainas
Little has actually been seen or heard of Chuck Norris lately. Rumours abound that he has gone incognito working under an assumed identity in food services somewhere in Canada. It is curious that around the time Norris faded out of sight, up pops Peter Lainas, a professional baker with apparent Special Forces training and a frightening skill with kitchen cutlery. He claims to be friendly and mostly harmless. We are disinclined to believe him, but even more disinclined to argue the point.
Brianna
Melody
Ali Keeley
Ali was born right in the very hour on the cusp between Libra and Scorpio. This is the only possible explanation for the ambulatory contradiction that is she. How else does one end up with a huggy Viking? Ali loves a good brawl, but is studying to be a nurse – one can only assume so that she can subsequently minister to (and utterly confuse) the unlucky sod she has just hacked off at the kneecaps. Currently she is getting in practice for minor surgery by making a living as a seamstress.
Melissa “Amara” Wright
Melissa is a full time religious studies student at the University of Ottawa, and an earth-loving pagan for almost 14 years. A kitchen witch, and a fledgling herb grower, she is often found either up to her wrists in cake batter or garden earth and couldn’t be happier. On any given fest day, she can be found either lounging around the Fey Camp by the river (watch out, we have sparkles and we know how to use them) or shopping in Diagon Alley. This is her first year volunteering for KG helping out with the YAG.
