Hello everyone, I'm Alanna I know Blake, Rouch, and Sol from another site. Blake reached out to me, and I missed them all so much that I decided come and join you all here. Honestly it's been a hot second since I've been posting so I'm excited to get back into things and met everyone. If you ever want to plot together feel free to reach out. <3
I am 30, divorced, polyamorous, panromantic, and aggressively demisexual. I have two dogs (a very shy malamute and a blue heeler x border collie), near crippling depression, and chronic pain. I’m always willing to talk if anyone wants/ needs to vent. Seriously I’ve dealt with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain for as long as I can recall, and while I can’t always empathise, I can usually sympathise.
Back when I was 29 I suffered a minor stroke (This is why you don’t dump your constitution stat kids, trust me). I'm fine but I do have trouble remembering words, how to spell things, or pronounce thing from time to time. I've noticed it get worse when I get too anxious, when I get migraines, when I get too excited, or when the fibro pain gets bad. So if I'm ever particularly slow to reply I'm probably trying to find the words I want in a thesaurus XD
Growing up I was a very nerdy and very annoying ADHD kid, I knew the differences between 4E, RPG, and RTS games before I knew the rules to any sport. And I do mean any, the first time I played a team sport I asked who was tank and who was crowd control. Was I popular? Not until high school!
My hobbies include reading, playing PC games, baking, and anything Dungeons and Dragons related (seriously, that game is my life). When I'm not overthinking life and giving myself an existential crisis I have been known to enjoy needle work, painting, and sewing. Even though I love dancing and hiking, can’t do much of either anymore (pain). So RPing is a very nice escape for me. I already have many character ideas and not enough time to post.
Oh and I actually just made my childhood dream come true by signing on to draw a (web)comic. Funny how my teachers made it sound like I'd never make money 'doodling' but now I amm? Whatever, I honestly still can't believeI'm gonna be I am an artist and get paid for it.
Random Facts:
I think that's enough for now, I look forward to posting with all of you. Please feel free to shot me a PM or reach out anytime about, well almost anything
Love~ Alanna

Random Facts:
- After reading the 'Lady Knight' books by Tamora P. that's totally where I got the name Alanna from I taught myself quarterstaff fighting with a wooden broom handle.
- I own a lightsaber for duelling. It’s pink and I love it.
- I love terrible puns
- I highly suggest the Dune books, the Elfquest comics, Queen's Thief series, They both die at the end, and anything by Tamora Pierce. Elfquest can even be read for free, online, hosted by its creators.
- My Favourite writers and philosophers are Voltaire, Alan Watts, Tamora Pierce, Rainbow Rowell, Anne Rice, Richard Knaak, and Brian Herbert. My number one book though is Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell.
- People think I watch more anime than I actually do.
- All of the books on our bookshelves are my books thankfully no one seems to mind XD
- I've enjoyed writing since third grade where we had to do a short story of like 4 single pages and I handed in 15 full double sided pages about the friendship of a rabbit and a Dragon.
- I honestly am not sure what my natural hair colour is anymore, I’ve had colourful hair for so long I feel weird when my hair isn’t pink, purple, or blue.
- I consider the term ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’ to be offensive, it’s also one of the most common ‘compliments’ I’ve gotten since I turned 22. The same is true with being told I’m ‘Not like other girls’.
- I forget to eat meals like. . . three times outta five.
- I have over a dozen tattoos and eight piercings, though I’ve had more in the past.
- My favourite animals are sharks, possums, honey badgers, sea rays, dogs, and crows.
- I believe that people should celebrate the Ides of March because there’s no good holiday around that time of year and there’s something fun about beating up a pinata of Julius Caesar’s head while wearing a stola.
- My Primary has a green thumb, mine's more of a dead, dried out brown XD
- I insult people affectionately, and I use dude, bro, and brah as gender neutral terms
- The two most common patterns in my wardrobe are galaxy and plaid. The most common colours are pink, green, blue, and, even though it isn’t technically a colour, black.
- Even though I am 30 there are some things I’ll always be a fan of: Red vs. Blue, Spartacus, BBCs Merlin, and The Thief series by Megan W. Turner. Over tens years, and I am still Homestuck TrashTM
Some things never change.
I think that's enough for now, I look forward to posting with all of you. Please feel free to shot me a PM or reach out anytime about, well almost anything
Love~ Alanna
