Welcome to the home of Wilhelmina Wendeline Wylie, but you can call her Willa.

1,074 visits (103 today, 467 this week, 1,074 this month, 1,074 this year, 171 yesterday. Best day was 233 visitors.)

Mistress Willa, also known as Wilhelmina Wendeline Wylie the Washer Well Wench of Wybreg (we had to shorten that to Willa so that people would quit stuttering around her), is not just the webwench here at AtTheFaire. She is also the head wench of the Washer Well Wenches. And she is the Merchant Coordinator for Wybreg Village, which will become a very big deal to rennies in the coming years.

Willa had quite a background of careers before settling into the laundry business, citing her most reknowned as her stint as a barwench at the Spider's Web Tavern (the pub owned by her mother), where she was so good that she became known worldwide at the Web!

However, now Willa is a tried-and-true washer wench, adoring the attention she gets from knowing all the latest dirt about the locals. She's quite chatty and has been known to be a bawdy lass. But Willa inherited her father's keen business sense (as well as the washer well with her father's passing). She runs a fun but tight ship at the well and lives to be able to share her knowledge with others.

Willa has a penchant for sighing wistfully after the lads in the kilts, and also for just chasing after them if they didn't hear her sighs. She's got quite a mixed heritage with a bit of Scottish, French and English tossed together for spice. Her cockney accent comes from growing up with her Mum in England, whom Willa dearly loves.

Although Willa tends to be a bit on the flirtatious side (good thing this is being typed, so you can't see the way I'm laughing as I type that!), her heart will always belong to John-Paul, the bud stud who wanders the village selling roses to the romantically challenged. Although she loves JP dearly, she is reluctant to marry and lose her business. However, she still has her womanly urges to settle down. Someday, she'll get her wish and JP will only have eyes for her. Until then, she'll enjoy all of the other eyes that seem to be drawn her way!

Willa is also a (relatively) longtime member of the International Wenches Guild as Wench #596! She also posts as frequently as needed on alt.fairs.renaissance, and her AFR bio can be found here.

If you'd like to, please introduce yourself to Willa by sending her an e-mail!

(In sooth, Willa is known as Lindsy, mother of two young boys and devoted girlfriend to the man who holds the key to her heart. She gets great pleasure from writing short stories and poetry (and skits!) as well as anything faire-related she can get involved in. She can be found at several of the Midwestern festivals this season as a performer with the Washer Well Wenches, a comedy wench troupe she founded last October.)
