The how do you pronounce your name got me thinking, What is the history behind your name, where did it come from or how did it evolve into being?
Mine, well 19 years ago I met my husband through a mutual friend, my parents had moved here to Virginia a year before while I was allowed to finish high school in Colorado. I wasn't use to all the country quiet so I had picked up 3 jobs. My friend told me about Disclave. I had never been to a con before but decided to check it out. after coming home with a boy friend (my husband now) told me about gaming so we went to a friends house and I was introduced to Iron Crown after a few times I made my own character but couldn't think of a name for her. Our friend Harry had this Tolkien book of names. That's when I found Runya, it is Silvan elf for sandy red hair, so my elf became Runya Lightwood. She has been the only gaming character I have ever had. The Jade part comes from our studio name. After Troy and I got married 1 year later, both of us being artists decided we would name our studio Summer Jade Studios. When I signed up here I started to put my name as Runya Jade, but didn't know if it would be allowed due to the Mara Jade character so I flipped it.
A funny note, When Troy and I went to the Bahamas with 2 of our friends we found a perfume factory at the end of the tour you had the option of creating your own perfume. I did and named it Runya that was 15 years ago. ;D
