Name of Fangirl: Modestina
Fangirl’s Occupation: Chemist
What is her Fangirl interest?
A melting pot of awesome: Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Pathfinder (Dungeons & Dragons), and modern fairy tales retellings.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
You know the kind of geek girl that geek guys try to turn their wives into? Tina was like that naturally and more. I am a geek of many colours, and there is nothing geeky I do that Tina isn’t up for. From our early dates playing TCGs over chai tea, to our weekends playing Lego video games, to our twice weekly Pathfinder games, we never have to compromise what we like for the other’s sake.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
At work and at play, Tina rocks geek tees like Star T-Rex, and Stand Back, I’m Going To Try Science! She not only roleplays, she is my Game Master. She volunteers at the Canadian GI Joe Convention, eight years straight so far. There are certain situations where she holds her geek side back, like with her purely science friends or with her family. That just makes her all the happier to quote Battlestar Galactica in the company of geeks.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her stuffed chest burster, who has been in family photos.
