The 411: Finishing high school by day, drawing and writing by... well, any hour of the day she can see fit, really.
Currently in the start of her twenties, Lou is on her way to stuff her belongings on a plane and move to England. She will be starting university in September in order to become a teacher of some sort, somewhere along the line. She used to be a hardcore Harry Potter fangirl, and probably still is at heart, but currently, shinier things such as BBC's version of Merlin has pretty much taken over the #1 spot as "most beloved fandom".
