Aisla Hastings

Aisla C Hastings (b. 1881) was a British nurse who lived within France since 1898. She was the first daughter of Mrs. and Mr. Hastings and the personal nurse to Princess Priscilla Eirlburg. In December 1898, Priscilla decided to entrust Aisla her diary and story after hearing that she was going to die very soon and did not want her family to know their lineage.

History
Aisla C Hastings (middle name unknown) was born in the English countryside of Gloucestershire, England in 1881 to a farmer family. As explained in her story, Aisla's lineage is not English (despite the name Hastings) but instead comes from France and Scotland. At the age of 13, Aisla was forced off the farm and into work as a nurse after her childhood sweetheart perished.

She moved to Paris in 1898 at 17 years old from the instruction of the nuns and stayed there until 1899 or 1900, when she moved to America. In 1901, Aisla married an unnamed man. Her great-great grandchildren would later be Carson Schroder, Sydney Schroder and Willow Schroder.
