10 Things About Me

I was introduced to the Jugger community in 2008 and have been attending matches, training sessions and helping out ever since.
I come from a very athletic family. My mother is a black belt in Kick Boxing and my Godmother is a black belt in Kenpo as well as a marathon running (herself and my other aunt have completed over 20 marathons).
My Dad's Grandfather was a member of a Sioux tribe in Chicago and I can speak some fragments of the Lakota Sioux language.
I've been with Carl since 2008 and we had Eric in 2012.
I work as an actress and a writer and was published in my first book in 2014.
Myself and Eric have appeared on screen together twice, Vikings season one and being interviewed on TV3.
I decided to go back into education last year after Carl received his Msc in Computer Science. I've completed a course in Forensic Science and am currently studying for my degree in Pharmaceutical Technology.
I'm a really thrifty shopper and managed to get 3 dresses for my wedding next year (including a designer gown) for under 200 euro.
I'm the eldest of my siblings. I've a younger brother , Earl and sister , Erika
I write under the name Melise Amour which I choose because it sounded like Melissa Moore with an accent on it.

2007 / 2014

Carl in 2007 in and around his first International Jugger Tournament in Hamburg.

Carl in 2014 with Eric at the International Jugger Tournament in Dublin.

This is Carl and Eric. They like to hit people with sticks. Carl works doing computer things and while Eric has giving acting and modelling a whirl he has decided that binge watching Peppa Pig is more what he'd like to do with his life right now.

Carl started playing Jugger in 2007. Eric didn't exist in 2007.

We live in Dublin and so far Eric has been to 2 international tournaments, Berlin 2013 and Dublin 2014.
