{{Tobydelgato}} is a young American woman who also likes to contribute to TVTropes and takes herself far too seriously. She likes video games just a little too much and loves to write and draw and then--

--Okay, no more ThirdPersonPerson, I promise.

Anyway, yeah, I love writing and drawing, and at one point I had a DeviantART page but I'm ashamed of what's up there. I was also once a FanFiction writer, but now I find I prefer writing original work. I am also a lazy slob who likes to procrastinate and only barely meets deadlines for essays and such. I should probably work on that.

I also tend to think in terms of tropes, and actively think up several minor tropes I'm going to use in a work while I'm writing it. It can be maddening sometimes.

!!Tropes about [[ItsAllAboutMe me]]:

* BerserkButton: Several, though being called stupid or being told to shut up makes me HulkOut.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: I used to get in-school suspension a lot when I was in elementary school. Now people can't believe it!
* BrainyBrunette: Then again, so is [[GenerationXerox my mother]], so it runs in the family.
* BrainySpecs: I have them. They are not the most flattering, but I don't really care.
* BrilliantButLazy: Oh, yeah, A's are nice and all, but so are other things, like video games...
* CloudCuckooLander: Most of the time.
* DeadpanSnarker: Also most of the time.
* FanHater: I used to be one, until I realized that I was being a complete idiot about things like [[{{Twilight}} books]] and [[{{Transformers}} movies]]. Now I [[BerserkButton can't stand them]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: How some people feel about me.
* GenderBlenderName: Not in RealLife, but on the internet I tend to go by some very ambiguous names.
* GratuitousSpanish: My username on several websites (including here). I also love to greet people with 'Hola' and read things out loud in Spanish just to keep myself fresh.
* KindHeartedCatLover: At least, to my own cat.
* {{Kuudere}}: I'm ice cold to strangers but I can't shut up around my friends and family.
* OlderThanTheyLook: In my senior year of high school, I was mistaken for a sophomore. I have had several people ask if I'm a freshman already, and this is my second year of college. Granted, being short and awkward-looking doesn't help things.
* PerpetualFrowner: To the point where my own friends think I'm incredibly unhappy or always angry, when really I'm just either very deep in thought or minding my own business.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: Hohoho, yes.
* ShrinkingViolet: You will never find me at parties or talking to someone without being spoken to first. In fact I generally like to avoid people when I can, as I have a crippling fear of being berated.
* StoicSpectacles: Then again, I actively try to show as little emotion as possible when I'm not talking to someone.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Steak. And strawberries, at least according to my dad.
* YamatoNadeshiko: I actually enjoy doing laundry and vacuuming, but I can't cook worth a darn. I would say I'm modest and demure, but then this would just seem like one big joke, wouldn't it?

!!Tropes I tend to employ in my stories:

* AManIsNotAVirgin: If he's the protagonist he certainly is.
* AnachronismStew: Reserved for LowFantasy stuff.
* AntiVillain: Any [[TheDragon subordinates]] of the main antagonist tend to be this.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Though it's not usually the POV character's family that is big and/or messed up.
* CompleteMonster: There is at least one per story, though usually they're not the main antagonist.
* CorruptChurch
* TheDogWasTheMastermind
* FantasticRacism
* FirstPersonSmartass
* GenderBlenderName: One of my (male) characters is named Rika,and another (female) character is named Sean.
* ImprobableAge: Though I usually come up with [[HandWave excuses]] for this.
* LowFantasy
* MysteryMagnet: Almost all of my main characters attract the wrong kind of crowd.
* NunTooHoly: Priests and holy knights in my stories tend to step far out of bounds, but get away with a lot either because of [[{{Nepotism}} family ties]], [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections friends]], or [[BunnyEarsLawyer just because they're good at what they do]].
* OurVampiresAreDifferent
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent
* ParentalAbandonment: Whether their parents are divorced, dead, or both, chances are that this shows up in some form or another.
* RecycledScript: Most of these tropes show up in most everything I do, under almost identical circumstances. Luckily nothing of mine is published, so I can get away with it... for now.
* ScrewDestiny
* {{Steampunk}}: Because MedievalEuropeanFantasy is soooo last year.
* UrbanFantasy
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Most of my antagonists are this.
