Greetings, fellow tropers. My name is Bia Barreto, and I come from Brazil. Some people may know me as a prominent member of the Pretty Cure fandom as well as the author of three Pretty Cure fanseries. My opinions tend to diverge from most people's, but I don't mean to offend anyone. Everybody's entitled to their own opinions, right?
I had two accounts before, but I forgot the passwords to both of them. Hopefully this will be my definitive account.
And I'm also close friends with Kalle.
This Troper Provides Examples Of...
- Actor Shipping: Engine Sentai Go Onger and this music video
made me start shipping Yasuhisa Furuhara/Yumi Sugimoto.
- All Women Are Lustful: A good portion of my Tumblr account is me shamelessly lusting over Tokusatsu actors (often shirtless).
- Author Avatar: Bia Hoshigo, who can transform into a Pretty Cure named Cure Heron (old design), complete with a green Littlest Pet Shop plush bird as her talking bird Mentor Mascot Reiher. I also tend to consider Erika Kurumi/Cure Marine as me in anime form; every single picture I have of her on my Tumblr account is tagged with "GPOY"note .
- Art Evolution: Go to my deviantART account and compare any of my older drawings to any of my more recent drawings.
- Catchphrase: "I have my opinions and I respect yours, so respect mine."
- Celeb Crush: Kevin Kleinberg, Masashi Mikami, Hiroki Suzuki, Yasuhisa Furuhara, Masaki Suda, Shu Watanabe, Ryota Ozawa, and Sota Fukushi. Outside of the Tokusatsu field, Marcos Paulo and Matthew Knight.
- Cosplay: In 2010 I dressed up as Cure Heron for a Japanese culture event at my city. The following year, I dressed up as Ahim de Famille for the same event, only because of the similarity between me and the character.
- Crossover Ship: I classify mines in three types.
- Opposites Attract: Odd Della Robbia x Setsuna Higashi (my crossover One True Pairing), Kouji Minamoto x Erika Kurumi, Lee Clark x Kirino Kousaka
- So Similar, It's Cute: Peter Pan x Ahiru Arima, Ikuto Tsukiyomi x Yuri Tsukikage, Marc Clark x Hazuki Fujiwara, Trip x Kanade Minamino (this one was originally a "One Thing Led to Another" pairing but they turned out to be more similar than I thought), Philip x Azusa Nakano, Kazari x Toralei Stripe (also a case of Unholy Matrimony), Ryotaro Nogami x Doremi Harukaze (or Kotaro x Faami if that doesn't work out), Renn Kosaka x Reika Aoki
- One Thing Led to Another: Joe Shimamura x Inori Yamabuki, Nagihiko Fujisaki x Draculaura (also a case of Boy Meets Ghoul), Swiper the Fox note x Toralei Stripe
- Development Hell: A lot of my fanfics go through this.
- Dropped A Bridget On Him: Itsuki really tipped me off making me think she was a guy. So much that when the truth came up I was so disappointed that I wrote a freakin' passing note for the Pretty Cure franchise as a whole.
- Fangirl: Of a Brazillian rock band called Restart, and I'm unashamed of it, no matter what the Hatedom says. In fact, I was very upset to learn they lost the European Music Awards to Big Bang... long after that happened.
- Freudian Slip: "C’mon, Gokai 35, start already! I’m dying to see Sexuke- er, Sosuke again!"
- GIS Syndrome: I'm awful at doing backgrounds, so my computer art suffers hard from this.
- Happy Holidays Dress: Bia wears one in my 2011 Christmas wallpaper.
- Hartman Hips: I'm Brazillian, so it's expected.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The announcement of Smile Pretty Cure and its green Cure, Nao/Cure March, made my Trip/Kanade crossover pairing all the funnier, in particular because Nao was paired with Kanade for the cards that came with the Japanese Mc Donalds' Happy Set prior to Smile's debut.
- Hold Your Hippogriffs: I inverted this by creating the term "Jumping jelly sandwich!", a land-folk variation of the underwater euphemism "Jumping jellyfish!" used in The Little Mermaid and "The Great Dolphin Race".
- Hype Aversion: I tend to stray away from popular fandoms, sometimes to the point of Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch. There was a time I hated the Total Drama Island series with a burning Cure Passion, but that kinda faded away with time. Now my disdain is aimed at a completely different show.
- Hype Backlash: Towards Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Power Rangers RPM.
- I Knew It!: To my surprise, I successfully guessed that ShiroUra would become a semi-canon Beta Couple, and that Tokumei Sentai Go Busters' ending would be a Dancing Theme.
- Ineffectual Loner: While at school I always sit on the very back of the class, and although a lot of my classmates interact with me, I only interact with few of them.
- Little Miss Snarker: When it's necessary.
- Nerds Are Sexy: Trip, Ethan, Philip, I'm looking at the three of you.
- Nosebleed: I've suffered several, can't remember how many. The most recent happened while I was watching Yasuhisa Furuhara's "Fly High" DVD on the late Megavideo; then again, there were many reasons for that to happen...
- Occidental Otaku
- Old Shame: A lot of my early fanfiction, in particular a series of Aiko/Momoko fanfics and an Austin/Uniqua fanfic called "Forevermore", all lemons and all heavy on copypasta. And people liked them. Luckily, now my writing has improved quite a lot, even though I don't write as many lemons as I do before, and when I do they barely get any reviews; case in point, "Ecstasy in Green".
- Original Character: Many, and I try hard for them to make them not pass as Mary Sues.
- Sailor Earth: A lot of my Pretty Cure Original Characters as well as my Hime Chen Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri character Madoka Susumu (not to be confused with Madoka Kaname), who transforms into Rapunzel.
- Sailor Earth: A lot of my Pretty Cure Original Characters as well as my Hime Chen Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri character
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Complete with matching black eyes (my mom always said they looked like jabuticabas...).
- A lot of my Original Characters have this trait as well.
- Seasonal Rot: My opinion on the second season of Princess Tutu. I don't really mind how it ended, but was it really necessary to turn Mytho into a bad guy just to give Ahiru and Fakir more screentime together? And don't get me started on Uzura and Femio...
- Shipper on Deck: For Aiko/Momoko, Syrup/Urara, Austin/Uniqua and Sosuke/Miu, among others.
- Song Parody: Several.
- Spin-Offspring: Ohhhh boy. I have so many fanmade children that I had to split them in several different universes.
- Main Offspring 'Verse: Where most of my crossover couple children go, with a few canon couple children thrown in. The full list is here, although some have yet to have their pages done.
- Studio Mascot Offspring 'Verse: Exactly What It Says on the Tin, includes the children of beloved characters such as Roger Rabbit, Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. It's not out yet, but I plan to show the kids to the world soon.
- Disney Offspring 'Verse: Not as explored as the others, involves the children of the Disney Princesses. Snow White's daughter Cinnamon is being redesigned.
- ForNever After 'Verse: This is an interesting one. This universe was created for a crossover story between Disney/Peter Pan and Princess Tutu, involving the children of Tutu's main characters going to a decaying Neverland to save it from Peter Pan's shadow corrupted with - you guessed it - raven's blood. It doesn't include just kids, but also grandkids (Wendy's great-granddaughters) as well as several full-blown Original Characters and my version of a character from the Peter Pan novels.
- Go-Onger Mk-II 'Verse: Still a work-in-progress, focused on the adventures of Sosuke and Miu's shorttank of a daughter Hibari and several Original Characters with connections to the original Go-Ongers becoming the new generation of Go-Ongers. Engine Machalcon is involved, only this time he's Hibari's partner.
- Main Offspring 'Verse
- Surprisingly Good English: Where I live, it sure is.
- Strawberry Shorthand: I love any food that tastes like strawberries.
- Stupid Sexy Flanders: Aiko Senoo (when I was younger and new to the Internet), and — to a much lesser extent — Luiza Gottschalk.
- Un Entendre: Philip can make anything sound like an innuendo.
- Yuri Fan: To be frank, even though I'm 100% heterosexual, I have nothing against homosexual couples or the homosexual community in general. In fact, I may even ship same-sex couples depending on the circumstances (currently it's just Aiko/Momoko and Itsuki/Tsubomi).
