Fangirl’s School Grade: Hannah is 4-years old
What is her Fangirl interest?
Hannah loves Doctor Who (10 in particular) and Star Wars. She squeals, dances and grins ear to ear when either are mentioned. She wears Converse because they are “doctor shoes.” Fixing broken things with her sonic screwdriver occupies her for hours. Her favorite characters from Star Wars are typically the robots (R2-D2, BB-8, and C-3PO) and Yoda. She loves that there’s a stormtrooper named Finn because her little brother is named Finnegan. My little geekling picks out character fabric for me to make her dresses so she can wear her favorite universe clothes any time she wants.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Hannah is such a bright light in a hard time for our family. Hannah’s baby brother was born too early and fought for his life in the NICU. Mommy couldn’t go with Hannah and Daddy to see The Force Awakens but Hannah wore the dress I made her and told the news reporter at the theatre that I made it just for her. She understands the concepts of being brave and strong in times of trouble and being good even when it’s tempting to be bad and always uses examples from Star Wars and Doctor Who. I love to hear her laugh at characters and scream when they’re in trouble. Even in her sleep. One night she woke up from a deep sleep to yell “Wait for me” at the sound of the TARDIS leaving.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Hannah’s closet is full of dresses, shirts and pants with all of her favorites – Tenth Doctor, Darth Vader, Yoda, R2-D2, and BB-8. My sewing table is covered in fabric she has chosen herself for future projects.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Hannah’s Converse shoes in every color because they were made for going on adventures.
