A smartassed chemistry student and veteran troper with an attitude problem and a deep obsession with fantasy, science fiction, and turn-based role-playing games. She has a long list of favorite things which tends to morph and expand a great deal over time, including a particularly giddy and fangirlish love of ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' (she's responsible for about half the entries about it on this wiki, in fact) and ''VideoGame/RadiantHistoria''.

She will practically liveblog things she's reading/playing/watching by adding tropes to their relevant pages as she goes along, and often has to fight the urge to SinkHole everything she writes. [[TVtropesWillRuinYourLife Including things not on this wiki]]. She drops references everywhere, especially to {{Discworld}} and TheDresdenFiles, owns two copies of ''[[{{Dragaera}} Issola]]'', and has nonplussed a couple of English professors by treating pop culture in exactly the same manner she treats classic literature.

Likes [[WorldOfSnark snark]], fire, chocolate, and stories with twists she didn't see coming but which make sense in retrospect. Dislikes HollywoodEvolution, HollywoodScience, {{Idiot Plot}}s, and ''Eragon''. She also HatesBeingTouched, and {{forgets to eat}} on such a regular basis that she once passed out in lab from low blood sugar.

She is the proud possessor of a set of real-life FemmeFatalons, a crooked-printed "VigilanteTaxonomist" t-shirt, and a Hero of Void hoodie from {{Homestuck}}, despite the fact that she's obviously a Hero of Light.
