🎮 Gamer at Heart – I enjoy all kinds of games: video games, tabletop games, and trading card games (TCGs). I’m especially a fan of the Monster Hunter franchise, which I’ve been playing since MH3.

🐾 Cat Servant – I proudly serve 11 feline overlords: Juno, Mio, Indigo, Skyfall, Renji, Chia, Nyan-nyan, Wicca, Turbo, A, and B.
