Lauren Liddell started acting as a hobby while pursuing her Bachelor's of Information Technology at UMKC in 2006, and she is so glad that she did! Since then she has gone on to star in many productions such as The Wiz, Pilgrims, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She did earn that IT degree in 2008, but has recently let it collect dust on the shelf while she pursues her real passions. Lauren has embraced the challenges of working with Swords and Roses® as they take her into a new adventure in theatre.

Margarite Liddell was born to shoemakers on the southside of Scotland. At age 3, she decided that these shoemakers just weren't cutting it. She had needs and wants(like ponies) that they just could not support on such a meager salary. Teddy bear in hand, she set out to find the perfect parents. Well, the search did not go too well. She would never stay at a home more than 6 months. However, she did accumulate quite a cat collection along the way because she always felt that they could relate to her more than anyone else. While on one of her alley cat rescue journeys, she found Angelique and Belle there fighting over what to do with their limp cat who spent all his time in the alley. Margarite gained another cat and two friends...

Margarite is now the First Mate to Belle LeFleur, Moira Stewart, and Angelique LeFleur. She is a savy mercenary who has made sure her Captains are none the wiser to her hijinks of her triple dipping in treasure. Margarite enjoys this life of working as First Mate since it is all the treasure without the hassle of paperwork and the other nonsense that comes from being in charge. Due to her living along the English border in Scotland, Margarite has mastered the British accent.. Because of her ability to appear to be a British native, Margarite had been hired numerous times by the Scottish Queen to spy on the English. Hence Margarite's career of espionage was born. Piracy seemed like the next logical step.
