What is her Fangirl interest?
Star Wars, especially the Ewoks.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Evelyn was introduced to Star Wars by her stepfather. They have bonded over stories about the characters, playing with all the action figures and he has always teased her that she is most like an ewok: small, adorable, smart, with big eyes and extremely resourceful. A tiny little person with a huge personality and impact. It is their loving joke and because Star Wars is such a big part of his life, she has made it a part of her’s.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
By dressing and acting like an Ewok. Recently on a trip to Muir Woods she ran through the forest with all of her gear. We were able to get some really funny photos. She gets comments and a lot of attention because she carries her purse everywhere, from her teachers to people at the store, everyone asks about her Ewok bag.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her Ewok purse. She carries all of her treasures around in it.
