User:Lady Aleena

is a Gen Xer born on July 10th, 1971 at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. Her father was posted to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and they lived in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Her father's next post took them to Fort Jackson, South Carolina where they lived on base. Her family moved to Marktsteft and then to Kitzingen in, then, West Germany. After living there for a few years, her father was posted to Fort Ord, California. This was the last military post on which she would live. When her father retired, her family moved to Frederick, Maryland. They briefly lived in Brunswick, Maryland. She now lives in Woodsboro, Maryland with her fiancé. She has gone back to Germany on a student exchange program. She has briefly visited Mexico and France.

Her Wikipedia activities were mostly in template construction. She tried to help anyone who needed when designing and fixing templates. However, she has been away from templates so long, she has not been able to keep up with the new technology used in them.

She is usually barefoot when editing Wikipedia articles, except when her feet get cold making her wear socks or slippers.

Interests
When she was young, she was simultaneously interested in astronomy and mythology. From her interest in those fields, she became interested in the various fields of divination. Her interest in gemstones, and minor interest in mineralogy, sprang from playing Dungeons & Dragons, which interested her in titles of nobility and geography. She is only mildly interested in politics and then only in theoretical applications.

She is very interested in various media types. Please see her selected subpages for the various titles she is tracking.

Miscellaneous

Her tropical zodiac sign is Cancer (negative quality, water triplicity, cardinal quadrplicity, emerald stone), sidereal is Gemini (positive quality, air triplicity, mutable quadrplicity, spinel stone), and Chinese is Pig (element water, stone topaz).
