Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
My daughter wants to change the way Sci-Fi merchandise is advertised to girls. She gets very irritated if she sees only boys pictured with merchandise/toys/apparel. I have encouraged her to reach out and write manufacturers and studios to encourage them to include girls in marketing campaigns. She is fearless to wear her fan apparel to school, when uniform appropriate for her school.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
She wears jewelry (earings/necklaces), hair accessories to school (there is a uniform). On weekends she wears other clothes showing her fandom. She has a Jedi cosplay outfit worn to cons. She helped me build her lightsaber.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“Do or do not do. There is no try.”- Yoda
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her R2-D2 18-inch tall coin bank.
