Name Given at Birth: Aislinn, although I have been called Red for so long as I can remember.

Nicknames: My women call me Madam, of course. My clients call me anything they can afford.

Hometown or where you were born:  I was born in Canterbury.

Current Residence: My home is my Brothel, the Blarney Cock.

Age: 43

Class: As I own the land upon which my Brothel sits, I am a wealthy landed merchant.

What do you do, your main function in life/society: I hold license from the King to run the legal Brothel in Canterbury. My business caters to the pleasure of my clients.

Have you ever gone skinny-dipping / do you know how to swim: I was taught to swim by a noble French gentleman, who once paid me to cavort with him au natural in a fountain upon his estate. It was a both a profitable and enlightening experience.

Do you make fun of people: I have been known to engage in bouts of wit with others, when they have the wit to keep up. All in jest, of course.

Favorite Color: Red, without a doubt. It is the color of passion and in wearing it I proclaim my purpose in this life.

Have you ever committed or been convicted of a crime: I live a right upstanding life. Although there be those who would look down upon my profession as immoral, I am properly licensed and hence engage in nothing illegal.

Closest friends/How did you meet: Those closest to me would be my women. They are as family to me. I do, however, keep my own counsel.

One Pillow or two: My bed is strewn with many pillows. They provide both comfort and support as necessary.

Pets: We do keep several cats in the House, of course, to keep the vermin at bay.

Favorite Type of Music: My taste in music leans toward the bawdy.

Hobbies/Pastimes: When given opportunity, I do greatly love to shop. 'Tis one of my favorite activities to engage in at the Harvest Faire.

Personal Hygiene: My travels have brought me to understand that no matter what the English would like to believe, bathing is a damn fine idea. I was taught to bathe as the Italians do, in the old Roman fashion. I would not want the stink of one gentleman about me when another has come to call. Smelling sweet allows me to charge a higher price for my services.

Favorite Food: I am quite fond of the indulgence of sugar, when business is prosperous enough to afford such a delicacy.

Are your parents alive, do you get along with them: My father, a noble (or so my mother said) would not acknowledge his bastard progeny. He was not a presence in my life. My mother passed when I was a young girl.

If your parents are dead, when and how did they die: My mother was taken, as so many are, by the bloody cough one winter. From what I've been given to understand, my father (if my mother is to be believed as to his identity) passed quietly in his sleep in the spring of my 25th year. We never met.

Favorite place to relax: I relax well enough in my own good bed, once my last client has taken his leave.

Favorite Holy Day / Why: December 6th - The Feast of St. Nicholas, as he is the patron saint of Prostitutes.

Favorite Drink: Mead. I like my liquor sweet. I refrain from indulgence, however, during working hours. A sharp mind keeps correct books.

What's your bedtime: My bedtime is whenever I have been properly paid, in gold.

What, if anything, do you usually wear on your feet: It depends, of course, on whether I'm in or out of the Brothel. When working, I remove my shoes. When outdoors, I have sandals for warm weather and boots for cold.

Are you married or single: 'Tis not the lot of a Madam to marry. I am quite single and intend to stay as such. To marry would be to lose control of my destiny.

Do you have a family / who are they: All my blood relations are dead. I consider my women my sisters.

Favorite Entertainment: I'm quite fond of the Jolly Rogers. Call it a sweet spot for pirates.

Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: I am quite fond of mathematics, at least as it relates to arithmetic.

Least Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: I absolutely abhor menial household tasks. Thankfully, I can now afford to have others do such things for me.

Favorite Sport: Bedsport, of course. I'm also quite fond of Balls.

Most Humiliating Moment: The moment I realized that I could have been charging for what I had been giving away for free.

Proudest Moment: The day my license was granted by His Majisty. 'Tis the day I became Madam.

Craziest Person or silliest you know: Amongst my women, Mistress Vixen.

What do you look for in the opposite sex: A heavy purse.

In our Hierarchical Society everybody has somebody "over" them, Who is your immediate "overlord" The Lord Mayor (and his wife the Lady Mayor in his absence), and above him, the King, grantor of my license.

Favorite Sport to watch:  Swordplay.

Do you remember your first kiss: My first kiss was given to him that hath garnered such a prize from so many, the naughty stable boy.

Do you keep in touch with your childhood friends: I keep in close touch with those men who are of my age, as often as they may afford the privilege.

Where is your favorite "Vacation" spot: The south of France. The woman who once was my Madam has a villa on the coast. It is my intention to one day retire there.

Have you ever been overseas: I have been fortunate enough to travel to the continent, upon occasion, but I have not and will likely never travel to the New World.

Do you have Dirt/Mud floors or Stone: My house, being of wood and stone, has fine wood floors, laid over stone.

What is your bed made of: My bed is English Walnut, carved with figures engaging in bedsport. The mattress is feather down. It is my greatest extravagance and marks well my place in the world.

How many people sleep in your bed: Sleep? Only me and perhaps a cat or two. However, my bed will hold as many as can afford purchase there.
