I'm Portia1780. I hold a doctorate in French Literature from Tulane University, in New Orleans, Louisiana. My current research interests include Marie de France and the Breton lai.

I am a huge fan of the Louisville Cardinals.

In real life, I am a assistant professor in French at Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Florida. I live in St. Johns, Florida.
