Old enough to know better, young enough to say "why the hell not?" Has several minor autoimmune conditions and the bad habits of ranting, being brutally candid, and giving a damn at inconvenient moments. Lives in The Other Rainforest, and can testify that it's overrated. Was a very weird little girl. Is probably either trying to write, or playing something tall and blue on World of Warcraft (or occasionally, something tall and blue on Rift), at any given moment.
Moderates the Bad Fiction Graveyard and the Argus Scrolls at LiveJournal. Wowpedia Bookkeepers team member; also regularly edits several other wikis. Fan fiction author, of sorts; contributor to the Protectors of the Plot Continuum by way of one mission so far. (Hey, I'm working on it!)
Is (as of recently) officially a semi-professional pen-and-paper RPG editor, and is currently working on a somewhat similar project of her own. Married to a Pungeon Master.
This troper provides examples of:
- Ambiguously Brown: More accurately, multiethnic but pale.
- Chaotic Good, or so she'd like to think.
- The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Has only in the last few years been able to start patching things up with her father...who's a therapist specializing in family counseling.
- Cordon Bleugh Chef: Considers cayenne and/or chipotle pepper an entirely acceptable addition, under certain circumstances, to cookie dough. Has actually been complimented on the result.
- Cross Player: Has a few male draenei running around on various servers, and often jokes that it's about the shoulders.
- Does Not Like Shoes: Has tiny, oddly-shaped feet that make finding a proper fit (especially in any style that can be taken seriously) difficult.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Off-black hair, very pale olive complexion, can pull off the goth look rather well.
- Eyes of Gold: Well, tawny brown, anyway.
- Fan Nickname: Has a long list of personal ones, folderized below.
- Fun T-Shirt: Pretty much collects the things.
- Gamer Chick: Reconstructed.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Is about half her husband's size.
- Knight in Sour Armor
- Mama Bear: Has no kids of her own, but (for example) got very angry when she discovered that a friend's child had been abused by a relative.
- Older than They Look, or so she's been told.
- Snark Knight
- Sophisticated as Hell
- Weaksauce Weakness: Has primary Raynaud's syndrome.
- Yaoi Fangirl: Quietly 'ships Asric and Jadaar...
- Yuri Fangirl: ...not to mention Uriel and Kira.

Personal Fan Nicknames
Long list. Be warned.
- Belfywelf, Bloof, Crack-Rabbit, Drugbunny, Eversong Squirrel: A blood elf, when I'm playing Alliance.
- Belftown, the Sparkly Maze: Silvermoon City.
- Blue Soap: A monumental, messy fanwank that I made the mistake of setting off. You probably do not want to know. (If curiosity outweighs common sense, a search for "draenei Mary Sue Soap Opera" will explain it; just don't claim that you weren't warned.)
- Borewind, Breakwind, Mazewind: Stormwind City. (No, I don't like it; why do you ask?)
- Caitlín (pronounced Kathleen): A well-written Ethical Slut or Good Bad Girl character.
- Catfish, Catfish-Face, Catfish-Head: A draenei, when I'm playing Horde. Because the facial tendrils are barbels; so there.
- Catfish Pond: the Exodar.
- CheriSue: Dr. Cherijo Grey Veil, from S.L. Viehl's Stardoc series. Make a wild guess why.
- Chibi, Kewpie Doll: A gnome.
- Collecturtle, Fucking Collecturtle, Goddamn Collecturtle, Stupid Collecturtle, other variations on that theme: The Ancient Tartagon (giant two-headed tortoise) mount that came with the collector's edition of Rift. While convenient, it's quite large and looks rather ponderous and dopey.
- That Damn Eredar (often abbreviated to TDE): Prince Malchezaar.
- Dead Character Lives: A specific sort of Fix Fic. May be abbreviated to DCL; alternately, when referring to specific fics, the dead character's name (i.e. Taretha Lives or Laterose Lives) may actually be used.
- Drumorc Shamageicator, That Little Green Stub-Tendriled Marty Sam: Med'an. From "draenei/human/orc, shaman/mage/vindicator." So-called because he's a multiclassing cheater of a Heinz Hybrid (and looks the part).
- Durn It To Heck: Durn the Hungerer. Just because.
- E-Mob: The Internet equivalent of a Torches and Pitchforks scene.
- Fluzball, Fuzzbucket, Skitten: A cat as a hunter pet, or a druid in cat form. By extension, any cat. (As in: "You've got that fluzball on passive, right? Maybe one of the druids should go skitten and scout around. And why is there a fuzzbucket on top of my monitor when I'm trying to raid?")
- Fjord Reaver: Those damned storm giants in Howling Fjord; so-called due to playing a similar role to the fel reavers in Hellfire Peninsula.
- Florc, Flurk (and several other variations): A fel orc. (As in: "Are you trying to pull every florc in Shadowmoon Valley?")
- Fuzzbear: The upcoming pandaren race in World of Warcraft.
- Guarddamns: The Guardian faction in Rift.
- Hellhole Peninsula: Hellfire Peninsula, for obvious reasons.
- Horse Show, Horsey Cartoons, Ponies: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
- Jo Clayton Weird: A descriptive phrase for a fantasy setting that deviates just enough from the classic model to be obviously original. Named for the late author of (among others) the Duel of Sorcery and Dancer's Rise trilogies, as both are set in a setting that fits.
- Kelp Reaver: Those damned whale sharks in Vashj'ir that prey on unwary draenei and trolls. Three guesses why, and the first two don't count.
- Kinkade World, Kinkadia, Thomas Kinkade World: Originally meant an apparent Crapsaccharine World seen through one of the demon's portals in Nocturne, but has come to mean any Crapsaccharine World. (What can I say; Thomas Kinkade always gave me the creeps.)
- Mama Scary: Therazane the Stonemother. Not only is she essentially a huge, cranky anthropomorphic boulder, but she also threatens to grind you into a bloody pulp if you piss her off.
- Maple Treant, Rotten Lousy Maple Treant, Stupid Frigging Maple Treant, and so on: The Wandering Protector in Ashenvale. He exists strictly to bedevil unwary low-level Horde. True story.
- Outrend: The parts of WoW that weren't affected by the Cataclysm. It seemed appropriate, seeing as they're beginning to run together as "the grindy part of the game."
- Pigtails: Uriel Chuluun, for obvious reasons.
- Princess Scarydras: Princess Theradras. Well, Mama Scary is her mother, to begin with. Even with that in mind, her father must have been absolutely horrifying.
- Retvindicatrix: Female draenei retribution paladin; one of this troper's pet characters, for one. Literally, "retribution" + "vindicator" + Latin feminine suffix.
- Sparkle Enthusiast: Your typical Twilight fan, when I'm in the rare mood to be polite about them.
- Splatter: Anything that's trying to be horror media...but which, thanks to creators apparently going for gorn and squick more than bone-chilling terror, ends up being reminiscent of a Troma film. I'm looking at you, Graham Masterton.
- Tall Blue: Any fictional race fitting that description; generally, either of my two favorite World of Warcraft races (note one for each faction), favorite Rift race, S.L. Viehl's Jorenians, or all of the above. (If the Tall Blues in question are heavily built along with being tall, I may also call them "Big Blues," "draehmi," or "Jorexpys.")
- Tékumel Weird: Describes fantasy settings that go significantly beyond "Jo Clayton weird." Named for the Empire of the Petal Throne setting.
- Talislanta Weird: Applies if a setting is at least "Jo Clayton weird" but more likely "Tékumel weird," with more of a whimsical twist than is common to either.
- Yipdrool: Admiral Ripsnarl in the Deadmines.
