A lady after my own heart is Goodwife Joan. She came to help out our household whilst the men are away at sea. She has become a crucial part of our family. Her husband started out as a sailor and worked his way up through my father’s company and now owns his own ship that takes wool to far off lands in trade for fine cloth and other goods.

Happily I am now married, and Goodwife Joan joyfully decided to stay by my side and work with me at our market stall whilst her husband is away. I really could not toil so intensely without her vital energy.

Real life~

Joan loves to sew costumes and play dress up which makes her perfect for the renaissance faire. In her spare time she likes to knit and read. Sarah and Joan met when Sarah needed help with her booth. Joan has turned out to be an invaluable team member.
