Corva/Introduction

Some people just seem to have always been around London. Corva's been a lively fixture of the bohemian scene since that scene was invented in London's decidedly glammier era, though her recent more mature years have been quieter. So far, anyway. She was probably once more "known" than she is now, considering her age; she certainly carries herself with the easy confidence and quick humor of someone who knows more than a thing or two about the city.

These days, she runs one of the staggering multitude of London's boutiquey boho vintage shops over on Portobello Road in Chelsea, if by "running it" one is inclined to count "owning it, making the buying decisions somewhat whimsically and letting someone else sort the details because she can't be arsed."

Likes: pretty things, spicy food, darjeeling, working-class slang, pulling on tails, messing with tourists.

Dislikes: electronic surveillance and bloody bores.
