Weladoop mates! I'm Lyssa, the dunderhead of TTT and youngest member. I love tea and scones, I have a cat, and I am a Dungeon Master (to all you D&D peeps out there).

Some Stuff About Me

I am thirteen years old and I am not that smart, but math is my lover and I think that history is bloody dope. I have a good memory when it comes to remembering things that don't actually matter, but a terrible memory when it comes to things that are a bit more important, like my passwords for example.

Way before I applied for a position, I was just a dunderhead looking for reviews to read. Then I found the review book and by the light of heaven I fell in love with it. At that time, there were only two reviews published; one by Ray and the other by René. Of the two, I was mostly in love with the latter one because I thought the style was funny and that it didn't really go by the rules.

My favourite colour is purple and I love acting. I have recently developed a love for architect stuff and I may or may not be considering taking Architecture as a course alongside Mathematics when I go to University.

Where I Began

So, I began my first steps as a writer when I was nine years old (I know, bloody shocker right?). My uncle was a teacher at my school and he was running the school paper, titled 'The Portals'. So, long story short, my uncle was like 'Lyssa, you could do loads if you learn how to write. You have a brilliant mind and a clever imagination, all you need is to learn and put the first words on paper.'

Being the dunderhead that I was, I was like, hell nah, I appreciate your advice but it's not for me. I thought it would end there, but weladoop, I was so wrong. I later found out that he had told my bloody parents and that they surprisingly agreed, despite knowing that I am in no way suited to be a writer.

So I showed up at the auditions because my bloody uncle told me to. I wrote my piece that was 200 (?) words long and a complete load of rubbish. It was terrible, even my uncle told me that. But nevertheless I somehow got in and I became an official member of The Portals.

First times are always hard and, welp, my uncle then put me through regimented study of everything from grammar, to punctuation, to tenses, to the entire English language. We used British English, but I was young and quite a 'rebel' so I was like, hell nah and I wrote in a mixture of British English and American English 🙃 cause why the hell not?

Okay so I am not dumb and I am aware that as writers, we should stick to one medium, but back then I was like, fudge this.

Surprisingly, he never corrected me and I guess that's why I still carry the habit with me. Welp, thank heaven and hell that TTT has amazing editors patient enough to edit my works and put up with my bloody rambling (maybe this should extend to the rest of the team as well).

My Goals

As of right now I look forward to helping this team in any way I can. I wish to establish myself and make friends across Wattpad. If time permits, maybe I'll end up finishing my books as I have several works in the making that I would be thrilled to publish. I am thinking of unpublishing my main book, however, as it is in need of massive editing and rewriting.

Education

Currently I am a sophomore student. I used to be top of my class, but as of right now I am somewhere in the upper mid ranks. One day I plan on going to a prestigious University here in the Philippines, to study Mathematics and Architecture. At least that's my plan, who knows, it might just change depending on the circumstances.

A Letter to My Mates

I know this isn't the norm for introductions, but I feel like I just can't leave my mates out of the picture. Without their support, I would never be here today. Thus, massive cheers to RoxyPuppyLove, herald_of_hell, VexHellfire, Tammzz, and BunkBedsAreCool. Thank you so much. Without you guys, I doubt I would be here right now. Your support I shall forever remember and through all our shenanigans, we shall remain mates till the end of time. I know that sometimes I can be stubborn and idiotic, I get depressed and I purposely deafen my ears to your advice.

For that I am sorry. It's been a wild ride with you guys and I have to say, I never expected this. I thank God in the heavens above for giving me such good mates, I thank him for giving me this experience, and I thank him for giving me the chance to be a part of this community. I love you all and I thank you for your loving support and friendship.

Final Thoughts

To be quite honest, I doubt I have more to say. In real life, I'm just a nerdy girl who goes to school on the weekdays and sits and writes in front of the computer during the weekends. I have a fiery personality that when flared can turn into wrath, but my friends say I am compassionate and even those who don't know me well say the same thing. If so, then I am a fiery girl with a compassionate heart. I only pray to be given the chance to do more for the community and aid this team in achieving our mission and seeing our vision realised.

With that, I will say farewell. Until next time mates!
