The UpClose Column introduces the most interesting, famous and exquisite Citizens of the Empire of Fayandria. The questionnaire is almost the same and what makes each interview unique is the subject’s answers and reactions.
This week, we went underwater to meet the lovely Lady Leslie Beaumont. She is a charming, kind and sweet lady, very dedicated to her merrow community as well as to her duties in the Empire of Fayandria.

DQ: What brought you to Fayandria?
LB: After leaving and being banned from Avilion for stupid reasons, I was engaged by Nax Sautereau to organize a merrow community in Cristalina sim. Though Cristalina has closed, the Merrow community continues in Adora Island.
My unswerving allegiance belongs to the Empress Fayandria Foley for receiving me when I fled Avilion, and also to Lord Nax: I am very sorry he is leaving us.
DQ: Tell us a bit about your background.
LB: I have been in SL for almost three years. I have spent some time thinking about math teaching in SL; that's too close to real life. I spent a long time playing as a Merrow in Avilion, and at the time I left I had become First Merrow of Avilion and built up a nice little mer community there.
I love to shop for dresses! *smiles*
DQ: What do you want to achieve First Merrow?
LB: Fundamentally, to be the best mermaid I can be *smiles* I would like to create a community of mer friends here that fits into Fayandria.
DQ: What was your proudest moment in regards to the Empire of Fayandria so far?
LB: I am honoured to be chosen by the Empress as First Merrow of the realm, and I hope to be worthy of this confidence.
Among other moments I enjoyed: I was delighted to be the official disco queen of Fayandria (at least I won the costume contest at that party) and to have my entry chosen for the new name of the Inn! I thought my second mermaid party in Cristalina was something I could be proud of *smiles*
DQ: If you had one wish for the Empire of Fayandria… What would it be?
LB: That we all keep playing well, remembering the difference between IC and OOC and having a good time!
