Name of the Fangirl: Anastasia
Fangirl’s School Grade:
I completed my Year 12 studies at Canberra Girl’s Grammar and I’m currently in my second year studying at Canberra Institute of Technology. My ambition is to be a Web Designer, Writer and Voice Actress.
What is her fangirl interest?
I’m interested in writing. I love writing fantasy, science fiction and Disney-like stories. I am currently writing two novels and one that I’m currently writing is called: Ratchet and Clank a New Beginning. It will be a whole new world with new characters and exciting adventures.
I have looked at computer games and they are mostly designed for boys. My idea is to create a female character in the Ratchet and Clank universe that would be an inspiration for girls and would allow the creation of games and films for girls based on the Ratchet and Clank universe. In the future we could develop more games and films especially for girls. This would not only inspire girls but would also be very good business because it would open up new markets and will make more money for the Insomniac Company. I have enclosed the first chapter of my novel for your consideration.
The other novel that I’m writing will be for young people to inspire and guide them on how they can achieve their dreams and goals and how to lead a positive life. I think it’s really important for everyone to believe in themselves and not to be cut down constantly by negative thoughts and people. It’s hard enough as it is because in life when we are young, we are still figuring out who and what on earth we want to be and we have to stay positive and keep believing in our dreams.
I’m also studying Web Design. Information Technology (IT) is everywhere and it’s amazing how technology is changing our world, it’s so exciting. Everything is so much faster and more efficient. I’m very fortunate to be studying IT because it is the future. When I started studying IT there was so much to learn and I was excited to know more about Web Design. My next step is the study of Games and Animation and then a Master’s degree in Game Design.
I’m also interested in voice acting. After I graduated from Year 12 at Canberra Girls Grammar (American College equivalent), I decided to take up acting. I love changing my voice for different types of characters, it’s a lot of fun and I can’t wait to learn more about Voice Acting. I enjoy watching James Arnold Taylor’s videos on Youtube for some voice acting tips! 🙂 It really helps.
I have a lot to offer and I would love to help manage the Her Universe Website and work with Ashley Eckstein and James Arnold Taylor as an apprentice.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this fangirl?
I have decided to shine the spotlight on myself because I have achieved a lot this year and have made major progress towards all of my goals. The future is exciting and challenging. I am so very fortunate and I want share my good fortune with others, providing an inspiration for girls to think positively and creatively, to make their dreams become a reality.
How does this fangirl express her fandom?
I express my fandom through passion, love and creativity. I love sharing and expressing how I feel about what I love and what excites me with my friends and family. I also express my fandom through writing and my continuing interest in science fiction through films such as Stargate, Star Wars, Serenity, Firefly and fantasy through films and books such as Harry Potter, Eragon, Twilight, Lord of the Rings and others.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
I’ve got quite a few favourite quotes: “Believing Is Just the Beginning.” from Tinkerbell, “Wit beyond Measure is a Man’s greatest Treasure.” from Harry Potter, “Treasure Yourself” by Miranda Kerr and “Let your little light shine.” by Therese Kerr. My personal motto is “I make miracles happen.”
What is her favorite fangirl item that she cannot live without?
I have quite a few! My most favourite item that I got for my birthday is an Arwen Evenstar Tonner doll and she is absolutely gorgeous I love her. Arwen is my favourite character from Lord of the Rings. Since I was little I loved collecting dolls and I always wanted a special one and she’s definitely my favourite doll now. My other favourite item is my jewellery music box that looks exactly like the music box from the Anastasia movie that plays the song Once Upon a December. I knew I had to buy one because I am Anastasia.
