Pilgrim Prim

While in our nation's capital this summer, Prim visited the site of the legendary Jamestown Settlement. 
 
And it got her thinking. 
 
What would life have been like if she had been an elf in another era?  What if she didn't get to take vacations during the off season?  What if the children she watched over didn't believe in her magical powers? 
 
What if...she wasn't a magical elf at all, but a pilgrim?! 
 
Where would she have fit in among all the other settlers?
 
 
Would she have been a clergy-elf, in charge of ensuring religious freedom?
 


Would she have been a worker in the armory, in charge of issuing shields and sheaths?




Would she have been a farrier or a blacksmith with her own workshop?




Would she have been in charge of the cannons, overseeing the defense of the settlement?


 
 
Eh, probably none of the above.  Elves are known for their magic, not their work ethic.  Prim was exhaused just thinking about all that living history stuff...
