Just some English 90's girl with bleach blonde hair, hailing from the Midlands. Her hobbies include: Gaming (mainly of the computer and video variety, occasionally D&D), Cosplay and Baking.

Photos of various baked goods can be found on my Website/DeviantArt [[http://bisected8.deviantart.com/ account]].

I stream games on twitch Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays [[https://www.twitch.tv/bisectedbrioche here]]!
