Colonial America – pt 2 – Persona

We have been creating backstories for our people we are impersonating. Here is my person’s backstory:

My name is Ebony Stark. I am currently the governor of Rockwood. I’m a girl.

Deal with it!

I was born into a family with five children and many dogs. It was really crowded, so I shipped myself off to boarding school when I was twelve to study law and business. I worked with the horses at the school, to pay for my scholarship. At the age of 18 I finished my studies and went back to my house. My older brothers had died from the scarlet fever, and my father had moved away. I helped my mother in the house, but wanted to continue my dreams as a leader and business. This caused many hardships. I got kicked out of a law firm, had to dress like a boy, and many other things. I got elected to be on my town’s council. I did that till the age of twenty six, where I had saved up enough money to pay for a journey to the Americas. I was to lead a colony in the north. Not bad. I journeyed on a ship called The Crown, which was more than annoying. I arrived at the colony and my new friends and I had to build it from scratch. A long endeavor, but I think I have found my life’s work. Nice.
