Hopper participates in almost every part of Amtgard, but leans more towards A&S. Her main focus is sewing, but experiments in leather working, foam smithing, baking, and more recently prop making. Her crafting side spawns from her interests in nerd culture, anime, and videos games and these things often end up being inspiration for her A&S projects.

About

Hopper first started playing Amtgard in central Texas. She had been introduced to LARPing through Dagorhir and played for about a year in central Florida. After moving to Texas she found Traitor's Gate.

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 and learned the difference between Dag and Amtgard play styles and fighting culture. 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 tendency to aim for the shoulders of much taller fighters and jumping to compensate. Late 2017, Hopper decided to leave Ascendant. Through the fighter practices and the Torches, she met Lilly Megatron Sunshine and Michael Hammer of God, and they 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 mid 2018 became a full member.

Through this network of people and Traitors Gate's ever expanding numbers, Hopper began to appreciate a wider variety of aspects to Amtgard such as service, volunteering, making props for events, and diving deep into battlegames. Polaris tends to be her favorite Kingdom and through frequenting that area's events and experiencing their love for battlegames and dungeon crawls, she found a love for playing the Healer class and does so as often as possible. Her play style is as a mid to front-line Healer wielding sword and board.

Mid 2018, Hopper met Lord Fog at Traitor's Gate in the Celestial Kingdom and soon after asked to be his Man-At-Arms.
