edit data

Fainne spends her free time creating as many worlds as possible, determined to bring a little magic into her boring, everyday life. With a background in ancient history and human evolution, she tends to do more research than needed and create backstories so complicated she forgets half the details. Her non-writing hobbies include riding horses and practicing archery, as well as playing a video game or two.
