Daria is a full-time Tattoo Artist, came to the UK from Poland 13 years ago. She lives in Tewkesbury, where she also runs her own Tattoo Studio for over a decade. For years she was attending a local Medieval Festival every summer, made many friends and over time got actively involved with reenacting. Initially, she joined a Western-style group but very quickly realised, that she craves to learn more intense and realistic Eastern and Huscarl style of fighting. She decided to pursue it with Hrafn Vaeringi, since she met and befriended them at Jorvik Festival'18 and few other venues to follow. She has become an official Hrafn member in July 2018. Since there are very few female fighters in full-contact combat for a reason, she knew it will not be easy and she had to learn from complete beginner level too, but believed she had the right set of mind and enough of physical strength to learn fast and keep up with the boys. Luckily she has received full support from her Raven brothers, who quickly assessed her potential with Spear particularly. It was a good call - after just under a year of intense training and good progress it turned out that she is fierce and capable enough to become a Raven Warrior and fight among other Raven Warriors in big venues gathering hundreds of experienced warriors: Jorvik Festival'19, Neustadt - Glewe in Germany and Wolin Festival in Poland. After such an intense and epic season, she is determined to carry on training and improving skills and very much looking forward to many new adventures and many more battles with her Raven family. In the meantime and whenever not fighting she uses her art skills to do various crafts, f. ex. decorating and hand sewing dresses, tunics, bags, hoods and banners.
