I write poetry and YA novels about fairies, teenage assassins, and modern-day knights (but not all at once... yet). I'm partway through my degree at the University of Cambridge, studying Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic with a focus on the Celtic side of things. In my spare time I vlog, review books, dance, and play an increasingly eclectic combination of instruments, when my health allows it.

I'm more interested in stories about friendship than stories about romance, and when I do write romance, it'll usually be of the LGBTQ variety. My main Wattpad project so far was "Bard", an Arthurian sci-fi drama. It's a first draft, but has now been finished, so is probably the best representation of my writing on this site (even if it could use some edits!).
