Obligatory, Introductory, Sunshine and :rainbow: s

Alright, finally getting around to introducing myself after all this time... Whoops.

0. What name & pronouns do you want to be called here on SEA?

I go by a lot of names... But generally Vea, Lea, or Mom are my mains here~! I also answer to clever titles based around my :rainbow: , or just the emoji itself. I use either male or female pronouns, but prefer not being called "they".

1. Do you have any non-gaming hobbies (writing, art, cosplay, editing, dancing, gum chewing, etc)?

Oh god... Everything. I'm a writer primarily. I have a certificate from a modeling academy, am a former geek fashion designer, stage performer, tea maker, trained singer, choreographer, cosplayer... I have a tendency to hop from hobby to hobby until I die.

2. What is your favorite Square Enix title or franchise?

The Kingdom Hearts series is my everything. But I also have a deep love of Crisis Core, Dissidia, FF8, A Certain Magic Index, Durarara!!, and Radiata Stories, to name a few.

3. How long have you been a fan of Square Enix? What got you into it?

My first SE title... Possibly Chain of Memories on the Gameboy Advanced? I might have played other SE published games prior to that but none of the big names. I was a Nintendo kid so when they made the jump to Playstation in the late 90s I didn't get to play another SE title outside of 358/2 until high school.

I fell in love with the character writing for SE. I adored everyone in Castle Oblivion so much that I was excited to see more from them.

4. Do you prefer the SE anime, games, or something else?

I don't have much time for either, so I actually think I prefer the fandom to the properties themselves as I get older. I love seeing what people can accomplish with their love.

5. Favorite SE music?

Fan music and remixes (bless Garik Wheeler and Voices of the Lifestream). My favorite canon song is Cosmos from Dissidia. I would sing that song to myself constantly.

6. Favorite and least favorite SE characters?

God. Uh. Favorites? The Turks, 90% of the cast of FF8, Ridley Silverlake, Cosmos, Onion Knight, every incarnation of Squall, AxeLea, ZexIenzo, Larxene (fight me Krin), Vanitas, Accelerator, Last Order, Mikoto Misaka, JJ, Data, Luxu (everyone in Back Cover tbh).

Least favorites... DiZ, Naminé, Kairi, Xaldin, Tidus, Cait Sith, I'm trying to think of non-KH ones I really am, uhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'll update this someday.

7. A little bit about you!

I'm a dweebnut with anxiety plz no bully

8. What's one non-SE game or anime you think a Square Enix fan would really like?

The Legend of Dragoon. Hands down. If you enjoyed FF7, you will like Dragoon. If you didn't like FF7, you might still like Dragoon. The combat is more intuitive, so if you found grinding a chore, it might keep things a little fresher. It even has some nostalgic weird translations!

9. What is the weirdest topping you've ever had on a pizza?

I am not adventurous

I think pizza is the one thing I have not yet managed to really branch out with trying new foods and seasonings with. I've only recently started expanding my food horizons. The closest I have to a pizza adventure is BBQ Chicken pizza, where the sauce is barbeque sauce instead of tomato sauce.

10. What do you hope to see or gain from this community? What are your expectations?

I want to see this community grow and thrive into a mature and welcoming place. I'd love to see more guests, people sharing their content with us, and getting along. I love this place dearly and I hope to be here to watch it thrive.
