I'm 17 turning 18. I'm a Senior in High School in Maryland. I enjoy writing in my spare time. I have incredibly weird dreams that end up spurring up some weird stories.

.: Favorite Things :.

Animation: From Disney to Dreamworks to Warner Bros. My favorite animated films include (now this will be a long list) The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas, Tangled, Prince of Egypt, Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron, Quest for Camelot, Wall-E, Hercules, How to Train Your Dragon, and The Swan Princess. Although I've very critical of anime/manga, I do appreciate Japanese animation. I adore Miyazaki films like Spirited Awayand Howl's Moving Castle and another film called The Girl Who Lept Through Time. I cried.

Art: Drawing characters, writing stories, drawing pictures from those stories. My favorite style to draw in is Disney-inspired cartoon, as well as realistic cartoon and realism. Art is pretty much my life and what I plan on working with in the future. I even have two art-themed superheroes I draw from time to time. I plan on attending Maryland Institute College of Art in the fall of 2012 and majoring in either Animation or Illustration (I can't really decide) however, my goal is to eventually work as a Storyboard Artist. My even bigger goal is to work as a Storyboard Artist for either Disney or Dreamworks.

Batman: I've always preferred the animated series myself. Robin is my favorite character, whether he is Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or Tim Drake. I completely ship Bruce/Selina, Harley/Joker, Dick/Barbara and Tim/Stephanie. I pretty much love anything to do with superheros, including Justice League, Teen Titans, and Young Justice. And when I play Lego: Batman, I just run in that as Robin and fuck shit up.

Cartoons: Didn't I tell you I was an animation lover? My favorites include Sym-Bionic Titan, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Drawn Together, Xiaolin Showdown and a few others. Sym-Bionic Titanis an amazing cartoon. The art style is carefree and simple and a bit comical, but the story itself is serious and a bit dark. Although it has its flaws, the differences balance out. And I ship Lance/Ilana and Kimmy/Octus so hard. As for Japanese animation, I can admit that I loved the anime/manga of Shaman King and Fullmetal Alchemist. Time for my couples listingggg; (AtlA) Sokka/Toph, Zuko/Toph, Katara/Aang (SK) HoroHoro/Ren, Yoh/Anna, Jeanne/Lyserg (FMA) Ed/Winry, Al/Mei, Roy/Riza, Ling/LanFan (S-BT) Lance/Ilana, Kimmy/Octus.

Fable: The video game series is amazing. Even though in Fable II, the women become rather... beastly, and I find the game and story enjoyable and as the games progress, I'm sure the characters will become... more attractive. I really enjoyed Fable III, the characters was great and you really learned a lot about them andI foundthe plot to be a great story (something I usually look for in a game). As I usually do, I support various pairings. Such as Ben Finn/Princess, Elise/Prince, Elliot/Princess, Logan/Kalin, and Page/Kalin. Yeah, pretty much all Fable III pairings, but that was pretty much the only game that offered such. I don't enjoy it when Reaver is paired with anyone in a romantic way, because he is a slut and just wants to fuck, imo :I

Fashion: I'm addicted to shopping. I like dolman shirts with bright designs, skinny jeans, and heeled boots. My favorite accessories are large feather earrings, glasswork earrings, cute necklaces, braided headbands, and sunglasses.

Field Hockey: The only sport I've ever been a part of. I'm not too good at it still but I love it. I'm gonna cry 'cause my senior year is gonna be the last year I ever play it (since I won't be playing in college)

Films: Animation may be my life, but I do enjoy a good live-action movie once in a while. I'm a fan of Repo! The Genetic Opera, Harry Potter series, Pirates of the Caribbean Series, The Mummy series, Australia, Little Miss Sunshine, The Proposal, Moulin Rouge and Burlesque. Live-action television shows I enjoy include Merlin, Glee, Pretty Little Liars, Lie to Me*, Heroes, Scrubs, and Robin Hood.

Flyff/Fly for Fun: I was addicted to this MMORPG. Although I don't play it anymore, the outfits and story and gameplay was amazing. I started playing in V7, which was my favorite time to play 'cause I loved the EXP Boxes when they were scattered all over the place. If I play now, I have to play on a private server because I just can't level at all on normal eFlyff.

Fruit: Yum. I love me some mangoes.

Greek Mythology: It's all so fascinating. All the stories of the goddess and gods is just so creative. The story of Persephone and Hades is a personal favorite.

History: Mostly Egyptian History- inspired by Prince of Egyptand The Mummy Series. I love the Medieval Era and Arthurian Legend. Knights, kings, queens and magicians. I even bought myself Sims Medieval and I can't stop playing it!

Legend of Zelda: My favorite video game. I started out playing the first old-school Legend of Zelda, skipped everything else, and then played Twilight Princess. Then I played everything else in between. Twilight Princess is honestly my favorite game, probably because I adore Midna.

Novels: I gotta have my books. My favorites would be The Host, Song of the Sparrow, The Catcher in the Rye, Skylight Confessions, The Foretelling, Dragonfire, The Hunchback of Notre Dame to name a few.

Romance: I'm a sap for it. That explains why I look for couples in any series. It's all I want. Couples. Everywhere. And I am currently thriving in a summer romance with pretty much the most amazing guy ever. So yeah.

W.I.T.C.H.: Although I stopped reading around the series in the middle of the 2nd part of the series, I still adore its characters and I go back to reading the first arc. My favorite characters would be Prince Phobos, Cedric, Elyon Brown, and Irma Lair. I, of course, have a few favorite couples; Will/Matt, Irma/Martin, and Orube/Cedric.

.: Planned Fan-fiction :.

The Heroes Within Us (Status: Not Started)
[Flyff/Fly for Fun] [Adventure/Friendship] [Rated: Pending]
Long ago, a great Clockworks was unleashed upon the town of Saint Morning. While the heroes of the divine Hero Guild managed to stop the monster, many lives were lost; including the parents of the young vagrant Amelia. When her older brother, Darren, mysteriously disappears, she ventures out into Madrigal for the first time to search for him. Along the way, she gathers a group of outlaws, oddballs, and outcasts; a travelling for their own reasons. Linate; a tough outlaw Acrobat who's on a confession quest for the approval of a woman. Puffan; a spoiled young mage who relies on Cash Shop items to get by. And a curious pair of friends; Julia Fondue, an assist who has all of her skills in the wrong places and Kyolu, a mercenary with an odd training practice who searched for her deserting father. After discovering the impending threat of a power-unhungry lord and the divine secrets of the Heroes guild, the group finds themselves caught up in a potential war that could destroy all of Madrigal.

This will be started when Missing Pieces is finished.

Sound the Bugle (Status: Not Started)
[Fable III] [Romance/Hurt/Comfort] [Rated: Pending]
In planning. It will revovle around Ben Finn/Princess. I'm usually not good with titles, but I managed to name the title after a song from the soundtrack ofSpirit: Stallion of the Cimarron since I can only think of Ben Finn when I listen to it. So a story might be built around the lyrics or I'll come up with something else.

Desert Bloom (Status: Not Started)
[Fable III] [Romance/Tradegy] [Rated: Pending]
In planning. This will probably come before Sound the Bugle. This will be a Logan/Kalin fan-fiction, although the pairing isn't very popular. It will be depicting Logan's expedition to Aurora four years before the story began and the betrayal he made to Aurora when he returned home to Albion. I like to imagine that while he was in Aurora, he developed a relationship with Kalin and how it ceased when he broke his promise to keep her and her country safe from the Crawler. And then some drama. Oh, tragic romances.

Title Pending (Status: Not Started)
[W.I.T.C.H.] [Friendship/Fantasy] [Rated: Pending]
In planning. This story will be based on Cedric and Phobos' background; how they met, how Phobos trained Cedric to be his right hand man, and all that good stuff. Mostly inspired by a piece of artwork I saw. The novels imply that Phobos is sort of an ageless being, and the story will revovle on the idea that he perhaps raised Cedric from childhood. So yeah, I hope this one works out.

And then I plan on doing something else for Candy Land. Y'know... the board game!
