WHY ME:

COMPS: It's like a civilian SAVING PRIVATE RYAN meets GIRLS TRIP.

A spitfire redneck's party gets crashed by news her husband has been killed in battle. So, she gathers her three besties, breaks into a secure base for intel, and travels to the Middle East to fight terrorists in order to retrieve his body… she's a lover, and a fighter.
WHY ME:
Living in Texas, I've heard a lot of, “I’d blast those terrorists so hard...“ like they were going to suit up, fly over, and not immediately die. Made me think, what if
someone really did that? But, ya know, it’d totally be women.

I’m a long-time gamer (first video game was Duck Hunt on the original Nintendo). I was recently playing a fantasy fighting game and thought: Wouldn’t it be cool if I had the powers of my wizard?

WHY ME:
I once did a very short stint as a substitute teacher. Its… Not for me. But one day, in an English class, the cliques were really clear- athletes, mean girls, nerdy folx… So my neurodivergent brain crafted a character who tries to capture the magic of her youth by recreating one of her favorite movies.
