| == About Sheila ==
| |
| I am known on [[Star Trek: Freedom]] forum boards as herbalsheila, but of course my real name is Sheila. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world named Jim. I run and own a brick and mortar natural health store called Herb-n-Oils [[http://www.HerbnOils.com]] here in St. Joseph, Missouri USA where I live with my husband and our three cats. [[Micelle]] is one of three cats, the others being a black female cat with golden eyes named Thomasina, and a larger, younger, long haired teenage kitten with boundless energy named Rascal. None of them go outside and so will live for a very long time.

| I formulate, market and create handcrafted Hearth Crafts bar soap. I handspin and weave wool, flax, silk, cotton and various other fibers whenever I have the chance, which isn't as often as I'd like.

| I am an hysterical/historical reenactor and I have been a member of Society for Creative Anachronism [[http://www.sca.org]] for a little over twenty years. My arms for the Society are pictured below. In the Society, I am known as Her Ladyship Gwennan nic Ailpein na Loch Shiel. I have also been part of the Civil War Missouri Irish Brigade Ladies Auxiliary [[http://www.geocities.com/missouriirishbrigade/index.html]] as a sutler, soapmaker and entertainer for about 3 years now.

| I enjoy ballads, including madrigals, black gospel, rounds, and sacred choral music. I have sung for many years in church choirs as a soprano and second soprano and lately as a tenor. I love music from the eighties and early nineties and I have a soft spot for a lot of music from the fifties and sixties that came out of Motown. I love all different types of folk and ethnic music, but my favorite genre has to be Celtic, both historical and modern. I want to learn how to play my mint condition mandolin that I purchased for $50.00 at a garage sale, but so far I have no teacher, so I am looking into purchasing a teaching video and some beginning music. I am still arguing in English and not Gaelic with 'Bheag an Bheag', an online tutorial series published on the internet to teach Gaelic.

| I keep fighting with my weight and do my own modified version of Tae Bo. I have long outgrown Kathy Smith and Richard Simmons' low impact areobic workouts. I stick to low/no impact areobic workouts due to my medical difficulties.

| After getting involved with Star Trek Freedom, to my astonishment, I have discovered I have a penchant for writing. Who'd a thunk it?! After I picked my jaw up off the floor upon seeing people's reactions to my posts, especially my characters' introductory posts, I am seriously considering writing a Star Trek novel to submit to Simon and Schuster who work with CBS Paramount to print them. My [[jimrpg59|husband]] is particularly proud of me and is thrilled that I write so poignantly. I am still astounded that I wrote this stuff!

| [[Shayhiloosh]]'s first post ended up being a little story all its own and getting hir onto the ship had to be done in two posts since I was attempting to allow the other players the chance to get to know hir a little better. [[Shayhiloosh]] is more reserved, but [[Maraht the Horta|Maraht]] is more humorous; he waves his main phalange about to indicate laughter and has done so on numerous occassions, to the delight of the crew of the [[USS Hades|Hades]] and its players.
| |
| | |
| If you would like to read some of [[Maraht the Horta|Maraht]]'s or [[Shayhiloosh]]'s posts, feel free to do so on thier character pages. I have put the posts that I thought best describes their individual personalities and how I play them on their pages.

| My primary character or PC, [[Maraht the Horta]], passed his final exam at the [[Starfleet Academy]] on Holodeck 8 with his instructor Lt.[[Standorval Thrall]] with flying pebbles June 2006. [[Maraht the Horta|Ensign Maraht (sg)]] had been assigned to the [[USS Mystique]] which had been mapping space in the unexplored beta sector. But now the crew has moved to [[USS Hades]] and has been exploring Beta Seranis III. After reboarding thier vessel, they have run into the [[Myrenu]], a fantical war-like race, bent on conquering the galaxy using genocide with the threat of terraforming planets using thier version of the Genesis device.

| I now have a character, or SPC, called [[Ensign]] [[Shayhiloosh]] (jg) on the [[USS Boudicca]] as a Botanist as of October 2006. Hir is one of the species called the [[Arborians]], a species I made up all by myself, with lots of encouragement from my dear spousal unit, [[jimrpg59|Jim]] and my friend [[GrannyGM|Connie]] who plays [[Brianna Frazier]] on the [[USS Champlain]]. Please feel free to read the articles and leave your comments under the discussion tabs.

| Playing hir is lots of fun since hir has three eyes on long vine-like stalks and it's pretty cool to swivel those eyestalks around in a post. S/He has some minor telepathic abilities and has discovered the [[Boudicca]]'s Dreamplane, but his abilities have become augmented with contact with a scruffy little creature, a [[USS Boudicca|Pelluvian Howler]] named [[USS Boudicca|Winston]]. [[USS Boudicca|Winston]] is considered a pet and he belongs to the ACSO [[Ensign]] [[USS Boudicca|Jonathon Linskens]], his mate [[USS Boudicca|Francesca della Rosa]] and thier two year old daughter [[USS Boudicca|Inez]].
| |
| | |
| Right now [[Shayhiloosh]] has just seen hir first battle up close and personal with some of [[Admiral Doenitz]]'s not-so-nice [[Marines]] from the USS Exeter. Hir had gotten badly injured and was eventually sent to Cait to recuperate in a natural planetary environment.

| {{Infobox Academy Player}}
| |
| I recently began playing an instructor as of January 2007. Rather than confuse or discombobulate newer players, I opted to go with a humanoid character and chose a Vulcan.
| |
| | |
| Lt. [[Valek]] (jg) is a dark skinned Vulcan who is known for being demanding on his cadets, but is willing to go the extra mile when he sees the cadet is doing thier best.
