* '''Porcelain Wonderland''': A GaslampFantasy (though a bit more anachronistic) with elements of {{Fairytale}} and GothicHorror. The story takes place in the picturesque alpine town-turned-kingdom of Solevaille, where [[LivingToys dolls and other toys come to life]] - but which also exists alongside a DeathWorld inside a MagicMirror. It focuses on the [[CainAndAbel rivalry between twin sisters]]: one a FauxAffablyEvil [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen queen]] who brings the dolls to life, and the other a CreepyGood witch who [[{{Necromancer}} raises the dead]] - including two broken dolls who are the main heroes. There's an overall theme of LightIsNotGood and DarkIsNotEvil, with just a touch of magic, romance, and existentialism.

* '''The Phoenix Knights''': A HighFantasy set in the fantastical land of Crownen. The plot is quite reminiscent of Literature/LordOfTheRings, kicking off with a rivalry between the [[DivineIntervention goddesses of darkness and light]] that resulted in the [[MacGuffin Crown]] [[CosmicKeystone Sword]] falling into the hands of an EvilSorcerer who aims to TakeOverTheWorld. And of course, it's up to a RagtagBunchOfMisfits to stop them - they're quite a quirky bunch, among them a human woman with a MysteriousPast, a blind raven who can [[BlindSeer see into people's souls]], a CuteWitch with [[MindOverMatter telekinetic powers]], a nomad {{casanova}} who doesn't believe in money, a [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies harpy]] with SuperStrength, a charming lion prince, a fairy who rules over the underworld, a dwarfette who enjoys PlayingWithFire, a [[TheGunslinger gun-slinging]] elf who reluctantly has a sword, an extraterrestrial mage who can transform into a dragon, and an [[TheUndead undead]] [[SnakePeople naga]] who [[HeelFaceTurn used to associate with]] the BigBad. Recently Lady Tanuki got the idea of it being an action-adventure video game as well.

* '''Nightfright's Conundrum''': A "modern fantasy" revolving around PsychicPowers. The story takes place at a university where an instructor by the name of [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Cheren Savant]] has just started teaching a parapsychology course. At the same time, a number of incidents of nightmares caused by the mysterious dream entity Nightfright have been popping up around town, so soon the class turns their attention to these incidents. Dr. Savant selects the top eight students in class to investigate, granting each of them a psychic power that they had been studying so that they may be better equipped to deal with Nightfright.

[[folder: Favorite Tropes to Use in Works]]
* AnachronismStew: She does not like to concern herself too much with details of the time period a story is set in, especially if it does not take place in modern times. While she won't do anything really egregious such as giving a character in a MedievalEuropeanFantasy setting a cell phone, she might take a few concepts that are from a couple of decades after the time period.
* CuteAndPsycho: Quite a few of her characters are really cheerful ones with a knack for either sadism or cruelty. However, they're rarely completely AxCrazy.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She is ''very'' fond of giving [[BadPowersGoodPeople bad]] or at least [[CreepyGood creepy]] powers to her heroes, even if they aren't quite {{Anti Hero}}es.
* ElegantGothicLolita: As she likes lolita fashion in RealLife, of course a couple of characters, even those ''not'' in Porcelain Wonderland, are going to be wearing this.
* PsychicPowers: Any story of hers with MagicAndPowers involved is ''guaranteed'' to have a psychic. Or at least someone who uses some variation of a power, most commonly AuraVision or [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]].
* SaidBookism: Not quite a favorite, but she used to fall into this trap quite a bit. Nowadays she's trying to avoid it more and more, but still ends up using said bookisms once in a while, her favorites being "remarked", "muttered", "exclaimed", "chimed", and "mused". Often times she'll even ''pair'' these with descriptions of a character's actions, expressions, or tone of voice, a job for the DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment.
* TheStarscream: Really likes the concept of backstabbing the BigBad and continuing their work. Making a character this has actually "saved" the plot of one of her stories.
* SwitchingPOV: She is very fond of getting into each main character's head at least once in a story, rather than focusing mostly on one character all throughout. Of course, this is assuming said story has an EnsembleCast - if it has only ''one'' protagonist this is obviously averted.
* TitleDrop: In novels with chapter titles, about 80-90 percent of those titles will be mentioned in text, though it may be worded differently.
* TheUndead: In any fantasy work, if she doesn't have a few of them appear, they ''will'' at least be mentioned. She especially likes to explore SoulAnatomy with them.
* WitchClassic: Any fantasy work of hers not set in the modern era and/or Earth is ''guaranteed'' to have one of these. All the subtropes, including CuteWitch, count.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Least Favorite Tropes]]
* BeigeProse: She thinks this is awfully boring, and indeed prefers to give detailed description of things, while not going into full-on PurpleProse. Plus she has a serious addiction to adverbs.
* EldritchAbomination: She likes to keep things relatively simple in terms of complexity of being (focusing more on relatable characters), and thus does not include such beings in her works. The closest thing she has to one is a corrupted digital being in a virtual world.
* FleshEatingZombie: She was never too fond of the modern zombie genre, especially the notion of an "undead virus" - the latter applies to vampires as well. Zombies in her works are exclusively of the [[VoodooZombie voodoo]] variety.
* {{Gorn}}: She enjoys the horror genre not for all the blood and guts, but for the psychology (and often, psychopathy) behind the villain. She doesn't include much gory violence in her works (with an exception where [[BloodyMurder blood is used as a weapon]]), and even her one story idea revolving around a TortureTechnician focuses more on psychological torture than physical.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Though she does have a were-''dragon'' in one of her works, she's not too fond of this concept. In any inevitable war between werewolves and vampires, she'd strongly root for the latter. Even said were-dragon differs from the concept a bit, in that she doesn't become completely wild in dragon form.

* '''Wicked Roses:''' A modern horror-tinged fantasy revolving around a group of [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] and other dead/undead people who still manage to hold onto their souls and enjoy small bouts of mischief around town. The story takes place in a town historically plagued by many supernatural phenomena, and kicks off with a paranormal investigator stumbling across the eponymous Wicked Roses, the aforementioned (un)dead group. This group find themselves targeted by a recently-formed organization of exorcists and vampire hunters who wish to purge the town of such unholy creatures, which our investigator is pressured to join, and also are rivaled by the spirits of an abandoned TortureCellar who accuse the Wicked Roses of being too "human".

Currently she is in college about to get her Master's degree in biology, thinking that field would better her chances of getting a stable career over something like art (once upon a time she used to major in animation). She is highly interested in the world of pharmaceuticals as well as alternative medicines like psychedelics. Additionally, she has a very pronounced fascination with the supernatural and the dark arts - things like the afterlife, PsychicPowers, [[OurFairiesAreDifferent faeries]], [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]], and the extent of imagination.

* '''Tales of Mystrica''': A science fiction story set in a virtual world. It grew out of a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokemon]] fanfic and a [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon]] fanfic, so the world features {{Mon}}s that people can keep and battle and evolve. The story starts out reminiscent of Anime/SwordArtOnline, where the world of Mystrica is shut down so that nobody can enter or leave. Then it follows your classic RPG video game, launching into a story about the [[ChosenOne guardians]] of the five Elemental Goddesses and their quest to harness their power before the mafia can. The story is surprisingly character-dependent, each protagonist having their own little arc and motivation.

* '''Sword of Destiny''': A HighFantasy set in the fantastical land of Crownen. The plot is quite reminiscent of Literature/LordOfTheRings, except with more important female characters, the [[DivineIntervention involvement of two rivaling goddesses]], a high-stakes game of CaptureTheFlag involving two MacGuffins (one of which is the eponymous Sword of Destiny), and more overall quirkiness.

* '''Nightfright's Conundrum''': A more realistic sci-fi/fantasy revolving around PsychicPowers. The story takes place at a university where an instructor by the name of [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Cheren Savant]] has just started teaching a parapsychology course. At the same time, a number of incidents of nightmares caused by the mysterious dream entity Nightfright have been popping up around town, so soon the class turns their attention to these incidents. Dr. Savant selects the top eight students in class to investigate, granting each of them a psychic power that they had been studying so that they may be better equipped to deal with Nightfright.
