Erivale has been a long-time reader of TV Tropes, and a much-less-long-time contributor. She is also known as Xavier1161
, which he used until her brother hacked it.
He has an unhealthy addiction to manga, anime, and role-playing video games. She also reads far too much, mostly fantasy or sci-fi.
He likes to hang out either on the pages of works she likes (where he will often do mass edits if she sees a problem) or on the Complete Monster discussion thread, although he'll occasionally get involved with some YKTTW or the other if it interests her. He's also started a few TRS or Image-Pickin threads.
She also likes to think of himself as the unofficial Page Guardian of the Air Gear, Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, and Hayate × Blade pages.
Pages she tends to work on more than others and would appreciate help with:
- Air Gear (Erivale performed some much-needed cleanup on the page and added most of the examples on the character page. He's quite proud of herself)
- Dogs: Bullets & Carnage (He is in the middle of an ongoing project to clean up bad examples on the main and character pages and add several subpages. She also did a major overhaul of the character page)
- Hayate × Blade (As with Dogs, Erivale is in the middle of cleaning up bad examples, overhauling the character page, and adding subpages)
Pages Erivale has helped launch:
- Hand Hiding Sleeves (Cleaned up the horrible grammar in the description and examples, and provided the final trope image used)
TRS Threads Erivale has started:
- Misused: Are You Done Yet
- Unclear Description: In Its Hour of Need
- Not Tropeworthy: Firing One-Handed
Image Pickin' Threads Erivale has started:
- Does Not Illustrate: Game-Breaking Injury
- Does Not Illustrate: Unbroken Vigil (Provided Current Trope Image)
YKTTWs Erivale has started:

Video Games
