Name of Fangirls: Audrey, Natalie & Emma
Fangirls School Grade: Audrey, Natalie (twins), and their sister Emma (10 months older) are all in 1st grade.
What is their Fangirl interest?
The girls love the Avengers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, My Little Pony, and Star Wars.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on these Fangirls?
As the girls’ mother, I’ve been reading Star Wars novels since I was in high school. My classroom is fully decorated with Star Wars memorabilia, including a life-sized Han Solo. Until recently, there has always been a stigma attached to me being a Fangirl. However, the world is changing, and my girls are strong enough to blaze trails with their love of all things geeky.
How do these Fangirls express their fandom?
After seeing The Force Awakens, they fought over who got to be Rey! In 2015, they chose to dress our family in an Avengers theme, and we’ve already scored Star Wars costumes for 2016.
What is their favorite quote or personal motto?
The girls run around the house shouting “May the Force be with you” at each other, and their younger brother.
What is their favorite Fangirl items that they cannot live without?
Audrey is partial to her Kylo Ren lightsaber, Emma likes her Rainbow Dash plush, and Natalie is forever sketching BB-8 and Rey in her sketch pad.
