Name of Fangirl: Alena
Fangirl’s School Grade: 6th
What is her Fangirl interest?
Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Rebels (she grew up with Ahsoka), Harry Potter, Adventure Time, and her favorite movie since she was two, the Wizard of Oz.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
To thank Ashley, Dave Filoni, and the whole Clone Wars team at Lucasfilm. The work they did to bring Ahsoka to life gave me, the father of two daughters, a chance to share my love of Star Wars though a character they could relate to. Alena cried when Ahsoka left Clone Wars and screamed with joy when she returned in Rebels. She has Ahsoka figures, posters and cosplay outfits. And this has opened her up to other Fangirl interests.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Watches her favorite movies and shows regularly with her dad. Creates Fangirl art.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
Me: “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?”
Four-year-old Alena: “I’m not a witch, I’m A-lena”
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
She keeps asking me for a picture of Ahsoka autographed by Ashley. Some day after we make it to Star Wars Weekends, that will be her favorite item.
