What is her Fangirl interest?
Anything Star Wars (especially Ahsoka & Jar Jar). Disney Fairies, Scooby Doo, My Little Pony & Tiny Titans comics & movies.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
She’s my little girl. 🙂 She works so hard to follow he own interests, despite what the kids around her are into. She too has faced some teasing about Star Wars being for boys. She was hiding it at school until I took her to Star Wars Celebration 6. She got to see how many girls and women LOVE Star Wars, especially the cosplay. It did wonders for her confidence in what she likes. She came back from that with her fandom flag raised high.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Well, she has talked her dad into purchasing the entire Her Universe line in her size. 🙂 She LOVES to cosplay and plays with the Hasbro 3.75″ toys. She is always happy to show you her lightsaber skills. And then finally she draws and draws and then draws a little more. 🙂 All of her interests come out in her artwork.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Either her Jar Jar whoopee cushion or her Ahsoka hoodie. She says it makes her feel like a real Jedi. She wears it all the time. In fact, I wish HU had a discount for people who completely wear out one item and need to replace it with the exact same size! 🙂
