Biography
Sarjenka is a priestess of Selûne, a benevolent moon goddess who charges her to spread light, love, and fulfillment throughout the realms. She almost exclusively plays a Healer and is known for refusing to cast spells from the school of Death.
Sarjenka first became introduced to Amtgard at Gojotekicon in April 2019, where she met Raten Firewalker, Azalin, and other members of the Emerald Glades. She first attended The Emerald Glades gathering on May 4th, 2019, where lasting friendships were made and memorable adventures were had.
In October 2019, as a result of Mental Health disturbances, Sarjenka [temporarily] parted ways with the Emerald Glades and jounrneyed to Observatory Arcanum in Newark, Ohio. While there she met Brill Laaksonen, who would go on to become Grand Duke, and Lady Feyraine. She continued to be a presence there until Amtgard was shut down by COVID in 2020.
Upon returning to Emerald Glades in June of 2021, Sarjenka met Pescadillo Witherbloom, founder of Burning Shores, who asked her to become an officer of that park. She gratefully accepted, becoming one of the original founding members. Sarjenka served as Regent first, then later (upon becoming a Shire) she switched to Prime Minister. She finally took over as Monarch of Burning Shores in October 2022, functioning in that position for three months before having another breakdown and resigning.
Returning to the Emerald Glades after another brief hiatus she kept working on herself, picked herself up and moved on. Eventually she declared for Monarch again, this time of her original home park, the Emerald Glades. In this position she demonstrated that she had learned a lot from her mistakes and her resolve to get it right. After a single six-month Reign as High Priestess, she earned the title of Lady on September 28, 2024.
Through diligent hard work, Sarjenka has grown in skill at making boffers. She is now the go-to person in Northeast Midgard if you want a boffer made for you and she is proud that her loaners are in use at both Emerald Glades and Burning Shores.
"Let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honor and Humility, Mirth and Reverence within you."
