Author bio

Currently a literature student and a nerd in every sense of the word, with an interest in books, movies, anime, manga, and games. Hates small talk, but loves questioning the meaning of life as well as the intricacies of 2D and/or fictional characters. Chronic insomniac with a productivity addiction, but somehow always too busy to finish her writing. Strategy: share to everyone the things she's writing at the moment, so she'll actually make significant progress and get them done some day sooner rather than later (it's now a pride problem after all).
