Backstory Allison Finch grew up as a quiet, anxious kid who always felt more comfortable in imaginary worlds than in the real one. While other children outgrew cartoons and magical stories, Allison clung to them like lifelines. Her parents worried she was too sensitive, too introverted, too scared of the world. But for Allison, magic was the only place where things made sense.

Her love of magic deepened in middle school, where she discovered Sailor Moon and received her Luna plush—her most cherished companion. Luna became her constant comfort through panic attacks, lonely school lunches, and the terrifying noise of adolescence. To this day, Allison still sleeps with Luna tucked against her chest and talks to her when nobody is around, imagining the plush as a familiar guiding her gently toward courage.

Her anxiety worsened in high school, eventually leading to a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. Therapy helped her cope, and medication keeps her steady enough to function, but she remains easily overwhelmed—crowds, noise, confrontation, bright lights, even unexpected attention can send her into a trembling freeze.

Despite her struggles, Allison has a rich inner world. She fills notebooks with magical-girl characters, creature designs, comic pages, and dreamy short stories. Her passion led her to major in art, specializing in animation and illustration. She dreams of becoming a comic artist, especially one who creates magical-girl stories full of kindness and hope—the stories she wishes existed for anxious girls like herself.

College has been both a blessing and a trial. She loves the freedom to study art, the quiet corners of the library, the occult shop near campus, and the way moonlight looks on her dorm room walls. But she also fell hopelessly in love with her roommate, who is kind to her in ways that make her blush, freeze, or forget how to speak. The crush aches inside her—sweet, painful, impossible.
