Wanting to be loved and accepted, (master Kaufmann was angry at me for killing my mother (during my birth) and never showed me what family love was like, never accepted me, I killed his chance for an heir, and he treated me accordingly)

 Persona’s Ambitions:
to never be treated or treat anyone like I was during my child hood, to establish my self as more then slave/serf with out having to resort to whoredom, to become an ‘educated woman’

 Persona’s Fears/Anxieties/Hang-ups:

I am intelligent but not educated
Todays phrase would be ‘an old soul’

 Persona’s Sense of Humor:
Love to laugh, and have fun, some of my greatest memories as a child (and there were so few) would be when I would be with the other servants of my fathers listening the stories they told.

 Persona’s Most Painful Setback/Disappointment:
My mother died on the day I was born, the midwife told my father “its a girl, sir” as I was handed to him, he handed me back to the midwife asking her “and how will this benefit me?” since then I was given to the staff to do with what they chose, raise me, throw me away, my father, who I had come to call Master Kaufmann, did not care. the staff at my fathers manor chose to keep me and raise me as their own, but my father let it be known to me everyday that I was what killed his chance at an heir, that I was his unwanted child, I was not a child of the workers, and he would have seen me thrown away soon as kept. The workers made sure I made my worth known, I worked for fear of being thrown out. I worked out of the desire to please my father and be brought back in to the house as his child, but never was. The final incident was when my father traded me into a marrage to further his wealth. I could not stand this life anymore and fled the country.

 Persona’s Most Instructive/Meaningful Experience:
I was keeping watch at the market where my father was selling goods. A woman stopped to see what we offered, she saw me and began talking to me, not like I was a servant, not like I was less, like we were equals. She remarked that I reminded her of a lost little puppy. After talking with her for some time she purchased some goods and informed me that she was going to Amsterdam, and if I ever found my self near the docks, she would gladly accept the help from a hard working girl like myself at her apothecary. I never forgot her, she seemed so motherly, so kind, so warm, I remember looking at her thinking this woman, this educated, un-owned woman was everything I wanted to be. As she left she hugged me to her told me to always be strong. The softness and warmth she showed me was unlike anything I’d ever known. She must be a mother, who else could be so kind.

 Health/Physical Condition/ Distinguishing Marks/Disabilities:

Good health, solid constitution,

 Sexual Orientation/Experience/Values:
Straight, men who worked for my father often took it upon them selves to use me for their own pleasure,
