Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Savannah is the biggest Fangirl I know…though she refers to herself as a “fan warrior.” Fandoms have been a huge part of her life, even before she knew what they were called. I honestly don’t know of another person who is a bigger Fangirl. I think someone who spends as much time “fan warrioring” as she does deserves to be recognized. She is so passionate about her love of Star Wars, Star Wars Rebels, How to Train Your Dragon, Disney, and now Marvel. Despite her wit and sense of humor, she is quite introverted; however, fandoms are the one of the few things that draw her out of her shell and allow her to connect with others.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Savannah is the trivia expert and will be the first to step in and kindly correct a misstatement–It’s amazing how she can turn any conversation fandom-related! She even wanted Star Wars to be a part of her Senior pictures…including holding a lightsaber. She loves ALL aspects of fandom from wearing fandom clothing and pj’s, collecting A LOT of merchandise, overanalyzing episodes and trailers, writing fan fiction, editing fan videos, reading every blog out there, CONSTANTLY wanting to chat about her fandoms, cosplaying to movie premiers, dreaming of going to Comic-Con or Star Wars Celebration and not just live streaming it, freaking out about any new information, and making sure she never, ever misses a new episode of Rebels. She deeply appreciates the writing, animation, special effects, and ALL that it takes to bring these fandoms to life. Her favorite characters are like real people to her (she literally mourned for a week when Kanan was blinded in the Rebels finale), and she loves introducing her friends and family to the fandoms she loves–all three of her sisters are now Fangirls themselves! She even bought her dog a Captain America bandanna!
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
Well, “Aren’t you a little short to be a Stormtrooper?” got her “arrested” by the Stormtroopers at Disney World
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her iPhone…in its How to Train Your Dragon case with its R2-D2 text alert. How else would she keep up on liveblogs, check the Star Wars app, and roleplay with her sister?
