I'm thinking of choosing Aoife Ní Mháille (eefa ni malley) as my sca persona.

1) Aoífe was a female warrior with a twin sister from Irish mythology. http://www.behindthename.com/name/aoife

2) Aoife MacMurrough (c.1145–1188, Irish: Aoife Ní Diarmait), also known by later historians as Eva of Leinster, was the daughter of Dermot MacMurrough (c.1110-1171) (Irish: Diarmait MacMurchada), King of Leinster, and his wife Mor O'Toole (c.1114-1191). Aoife conducted battles on behalf of her husband Richard "Strongbow" de Clare, a Norman knight, and is sometimes known as Red Eva (Irish: Aoife Rua).

3) "Pirate queen" Grainne Ní Mháille (anglicized Grace O'Malley) was Queen of Umaill, chieftain of the Ó Máille clan following in the footsteps of her father Eoghan Dubhdara Ó Máille. Upon his death, she inherited his large shipping and trading business.
