I am absolutely OBSESSED with all-things Star Wars related! Especially Ahsoka Tano.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
I have many chronic illnesses that cause me endless pain and fatigue every day, and Star Wars and cosplay are the only things that keep me fighting and give me hope. I see Ahsoka Tano and all the other strong heroines in Star Wars and seeing them overcome such huge obstacles gives me strength and reminds me to keep fighting for the future. Star Wars is my inspiration, the very wings that let me soar to heights I would never be able to reach without.

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Everything! Though, my favorite Fangirl item I have is definitely the handmade ‘M’ painted to look like Ahsoka Tano. It was a special gift I was given during one of the Disney Star Wars cruises I went on awhile ago.
