Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Because I have been a very passionate Fangirl my whole life, and I’ve had the pleasure of expanding my passions every day. My very first crush, when I was 10 years old, was Luke Skywalker, and he still holds a special place in my heart. From an early age, I realized that I should not be afraid to express my fandoms and my passions. I even have an etsy shop named Lokislovelyladies where I sell fandom-influenced handmade goods. I likewise attend Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios where I have been a part of an exclusive focus group and have met Ashley many times.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I think it is important to let your passions and individuality be reflected in everything that you do. I carry this belief when dressing for school or work, when writing my fanfictions, and when going about daily life. I have cosplayed as many characters (Princess Leia, Daenerys Targaryen, Elsa) and I plan to expand that list in the future. I sew and crochet fandom-influenced pieces for my friends and family frequently so they can display their passions as well. I likewise have a multi-fandom Instagram account where I share my passions and fan fictions.
