Name: Hailey, formerly known as TwilaStryker--the current pen name's the one I use for everything else so I thought I might as well catch up. Profile pic is a fanart of Shinjiro a friend drew for me a while ago.

Fandoms: Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts, Sonic, PokeSpe, Fire Emblem, Persona

Other fandoms that I don’t necessarily write about: Hetalia, Wicked Lovely, Mortal Instruments and all of the various spinoffs, Rooster Teeth and all of its productions, Welcome to Night Vale, and K-pop.

I tend to use the same pairings in all of my stories; I’m not one to go out on a limb with weird fanfic pairings.

What You Will See:
Final Fantasy Pairings: Squall/Rinoa, Zack/Aerith, Cloud/Tifa, Balthier/Fran, Vaan/Penelo, Snow/Serah
Most written FF characters: Zack, Cloud, and Serah
Kingdom Hearts Pairings: Sora/Kairi and Roxas/Naminé, some Repliku/Naminé
Most written KH characters: The FF characters, Zexion/Ienzo, and Riku
Sonic the Hedgehog Pairings: Shadow/Rouge, Silver/Blaze, various Archieverse pairings (I’m a huge Archieverse fan, although I support both Sonic/Amy and Sonic/Sally). Tails/Cosmo was adorable while it lasted.
Most written Sonic characters: Silver, Blaze, and Elias
PokeSpe Pairings: Red/Yellow, Blue/Silver, Gold/Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire. Also a bit of Silver/Yellow because it’s cute and awkward
Most written PokeSpe characters: Silver, Green, and Ruby
Fire Emblem Pairings: Various, but mainly Ike/Soren because it’s so obviously one step away from canon. Fave Awakening includes Chrom/Avatar and Inigo/Lucina
Most written POR/RD characters: Ike, Soren, Ranulf, Kurthnaga
Favorite Awakening characters: Inigo, Lucina, Henry, Lon'qu, Chrom
Persona Pairings: MC/Yukari, FeMC/Shinjiro, Yu/Rise, Kanji/Naoto
Most written Persona characters: Akihiko, Shinjiro, Naoto

What else: A lot of angst, some Rule of Drama, and some minor characters taking their place in the spotlight. I have a habit of liking really random minor characters.

I write a lot of borderline-canon stuff; AU, but in a “what would happen if this happened” sense. My goal is to keep the characters as canon as possible and figure out how they would act within a situation. I don’t use a lot of OCs and most of the pairings I like are because I can see them happening in the actual canon.

Smile is discontinued due to my dislike of the way I was writing Tifa and Aerith's personalities--they're totally backwards and I don't like it at all. Rather than rewrite it, I'm planning to get out a different story similar to it that focuses on Rinoa. Plus, my writing has changed a lot since I started Smile a forever ago.

For those who’ve read my stories, thanks for liking them even though I feel like I wrote them decades ago, and I hope you like some of the new stuff I put out. I wish I could get myself to write more Sonic stuff but I guess interests change. I still love Sonic--I don't think anything will stop that--but I can't get myself to write any at the moment. Oh well, maybe things will change.
