Fun Things
I went to Chattahoochee High School.
I have two cats, Da Vinci (Vinny) and Nero. Cats and turtles are my favorite animals.
I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was younger, so I have a lot of fish tanks. I have a leopard puffer fish name Peter, and my axolotls, Ruto, Olly, Tai, Uno, and Bobbin.
In my free time, I love playing video games, The Legend of Zelda is my favorite series. I read manga and watch anime, a lot. I also like to cosplay! I sew all of my costumes from scratch.
