Lady Hopper of Traitor's Gate, Celestial Kingdom
About
Hopper first started playing Amtgard in central Texas after moving to there due to a career change. She had been introduced to LARPing through Dagorhir and played for about a year in central Florida. After moving to Texas she happened to find Traitor's Gate by driving by their centralized park in San Antonio, Texas.
Traitor's Gate was small at the time (late 2016) but welcomed Hopper with open arms. At this point in time she met Weasel and other local players, it was here that she was introduced to Amtgard style fighting and ditching. In early 2017, she met Dalos and the rest of the Torches, and joined Weasel's fighting company, Ascendant. Ascendant consisted of Dagorhir and Amtgard members and would frequent events for both games.
During early 2017, Hopper began attending regular fighter practices at Tori Mar, this is where Dalos came up with the nickname "Hopper" as her game name. Referencing her tendancy to aim for the shoulders of much taller fighters and jumped to compensate. Later in early 2017, Hopper decided to leave Ascendant, it was a great fighting company with talented fighters and great people but she yearned to focus more on other aspects of Amtgard, such as A&S and battlegames and wanted to look for a more like minded company. Through the fighter practices and the Torches, she met Lilly Megatron Sunshine, and through him met Michael Hammer of God and introduced her to the rest of Tiger Clan, a fighting company based in the Kingdom of Polaris. After spending time with the Tigers and fighting alongside them at events, Hopper was asked to become a cub, and in late 2017 became a full member.
Through this network of people Hopper began to appreciate a wider variety of aspects to Amtgard, such as service and volunteering, making props for events, and diving deep into battlegames. Polaris tends to be her favorite Kingdom in terms of people, event quality, and depth. Through frequenting the Kingdom of Polaris and experiencing their love for battlegames and dungeon crawls, she found a love for playing the Healer class and does so as often as she can by playing as a mid-field to front-line Healer wielding sword and board.
In Late 2017, Hopper met Lord Fog at Traitor's Gate in the Celestial Kingdom and soon after asked to be his Man-At-Arms.
Hopper participates heavily in almost every part of Amtgard, but leans more towards A&S. Her main focus is sewing, but experiments in leatherworking, foam smithing, and most recently prop making. Her creative side came from her interests in nerd culture, anime, and videos games and is often inspired for a lot of her A&S projects by her love for different shows, games, and characters.
