The meaning behind my name is the only that identifies me. I like to stay inside my home and read books, those of truth and of lies. Both the truthful books and dishonest books can be good or bad, so they are all interesting to me. Outside of my room, my home, I don't exist. I was home schooled, and the only company of people I've ever put myself with is my family. I often look out my window to watch the wild animals nearby playing in the overgrowth of our yard. The creatures often described in my books are real, but I never see them before my eyes. Thus, I try often to sketch these creatures for reference.

But one day as I peered out my window, I discovered a whole other breed of animal. One much more captivating and interesting.
