Backstory

• Childhood (ages 0-6): Grew up in a quiet suburban house; quiet kid who loved Legos and early computer games. Parents supportive but busy; she was "the artistic one."
• Adolescence (ages 7-14): Discovered Minecraft in 2011 (age 8) and became instantly hooked. Spent most free time building alone. Started questioning gender around 12–13 but suppressed it due to fear/shame. Bullied mildly in middle school for being "weird/quiet." High school was isolating; found online trans communities at 15.
• Recent Years (ages 15-21): Came out as trans at 17 to parents (mixed reaction: mom supportive, dad distant). Started HRT at 19 after moving out. Dropped college plans due to agoraphobia/social anxiety spike during pandemic. Minecraft became full escape—built massive survival worlds, joined servers, started small Patreon for custom maps/skins. Now fully shut-in, leaves apartment maybe once a month for groceries/essentials.
