Hi! My name is Alexandra, and I am a 3D/2D artist with an interest in visual media and tabletop role-playing games. I mostly edit articles about those subjects, particularly about narrative-focused video games.

Wikipedia history
I joined Wikipedia in February 2010, and mostly edited the Swedish Wikipedia until 2015, when I became more active on the English Wikipedia. Reasons include how svwp has both fewer editors to work with, and fewer readers.

When translating the enwp GA Shin Megami Tensei IV for svwp, I gained an understanding of its structure, realizing that it can be easy to write good articles when one has a good structure in mind and access to good sources. I wrote the svwp article on Shin Megami Tensei using this, translated it for enwp, and got it to GA together with IV main editor. I then brought Ace Attorney Investigations to GA on my own, and have since kept going. In 2015–2016,, and I worked on Virtue's Last Reward, turning it into my first FA.

In 2017–2018, I felt increasingly sapped of motivation to do anything – even things I really wanted or needed to do – due to my untreated gender dysphoria and the accompanying depression and dissociation getting increasingly worse. As a result, my activity here and elsewhere, dropped significantly. On September 21, 2018, I started hormone replacement therapy; I have since felt much better emotionally and mentally, and am able to feel motivated to do things again.

I wrote List of World of Darkness video games in 2019, and turned it into my first FL. The following year, I started cataloging RS coverage of the World of Darkness tabletop games, as most of it exists only in print media; this has helped a lot when writing about them, and has resulted in many GAs and FLs.

Projects
I aim to help bring all articles about Ace Attorney, Zero Escape, Danganronpa, Science Adventure and World of Darkness video games to GA at some point, and help improve as many Megami Tensei and general World of Darkness articles as possible.
