[MR] Persona Development

[Jamie Griffin]

A Lady on another list I belong to posted this questioneer awhile back to help people think about their persona and to help people get to know one another.  If it gives someone things to think about, or let's others get to know someone else's persona then that is a good thing.  If the questions don't perk your intrest so be it.  I agree that being in persona is a wonderful boost to living the dream.  No I don't speak Occitian at events  (It is a dead language for the most part so can't learn it), but I do base my actions on what would have been happening when "Lys" was alive.
