She also made the cockade...which, just between you and me, I would have preferred to be a little more Jacobite and a little less "French." But it's a labour of love all the way around and I'm not going to gainsay the cockade...I'll just have to invent a "backstory" to make it historically correct. Anyone got a ready backstory laying around that I can use?


Sure. You were fighting three Frenchmen and while pinned down, you attempted to bite off the ear of one of the Frenchmen, but bit off the cockade instead. They were laughing at you so hard that you were able to escape with the cockade of course.
