Name of Fangirl: Mira
Fangirl’s School Grade: Preschool
What is her Fangirl interest?
Mira loves Teen Titans, How to Train your Dragon, He-Man, Big Hero 6, Scooby Doo, and spiders.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
As a reminder that it is important to have action figures and superhero toys for little (and big!) girls. It’s disappointing how often buying her a toy reflective of her interest turns into a quest, whereas buying male action figures that her brother wants is a cinch. I’ve tried to find fabric to make her Big Hero 6 clothes only to find that Honey Lemon and Go-Go are conspicuously absent and opted out of making her one rather than explaining to her (as if there’s a valid explanation) why the girls were left out.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Dressing up and playacting as heroes (most often Raven but sometimes as Hiccup), going on adventures (purely in their minds) with her big brother, wearing fan clothes (often from the boys’ section).
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her Raven cloak from last Halloween and her lightsaber.
