Name of Fangirl: Lee-Ann
Fangirl’s Occupation: Lee-Ann is a Captain in the US Army, currently stationed in Japan. She has also served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What is her Fangirl interest?
She loves Star Wars, Doctor Who, Final Fantasy, Harry Potter, DC and Marvel (Especially Agent Carter). She also speaks Japanese and also enjoys lots of anime.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
She is a dedicated geek, an amazing mother, and just all-around bad-ass. She makes most of her cosplay outfits by hand, including a ridiculous yellow trench coat for Jubilee, with the same sense of purpose and high standards that she has in every other part of her personal and professional life. She also volunteers as an overseas co-troop leader for the Girl Scouts and strives to make a difference in the life of every young girl she meets. On top of a demanding career and robust volunteer commitments, she also finds time to be an amazing mother to her 2-year old son, who shares his parent’s love of Star Wars and superheroes.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Lee-Ann’s fandom is always on display, be it with cosplay costumes for conventions, themed running outfits for the races she runs, “subtle cosplay” in the form of less overt, but still inspired, clothes and handmade hair accessories, or her plethora of geek themed (mostly Her Universe) wardrobe. Her office at work always has a collection of action figures and her home is decorated with props and other memorabilia.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Probably a toss-up between her EFX Mjolnir Thor Hammer and War Shield of Gondor replicas.
