Random Facts About Me

 * Shaf Girl's real name is Claire.


 * If you want to be her friend, don't call her that.


 * She prefers the names Shaf Girl (obviously), Maia (the name of her dog and her account on Deviantart), Wildlark (a mash-up of her two LakeClan characters, Wildfire and Larkshine), and Zenny Cirque (her penname for non-Warriors related stories).


 * Her favorite singers and bands are Coldplay, Dixie Chicks, Glee Cast, P!nk, and Vampire Weekend.


 * Her favorite author is Shannon Hale.


 * Her favorite scripwriter is Diablo Cody.


 * Her favorite characters from Halo are the Grunts.


 * She is a Spore, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, and Zoo Tycoon 2 addict.


 * She has a special shelf in her room where she keeps her favorite books and series--The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale, Alphas by Lisi Harrison, and His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman.


 * She has another shelf underneath it where she keeps her Warriors books.


 * She wants to learn to play guitar sometime in the future.


 * If she were in a band, she would name it Pass The Ammunition.


 * She doesn't play Halo that much, but when she does, she turns on the Grunt Birthday Party skull. It makes it so that instead of blood spurting out when you kill a Grunt, blue and yellow confetti explodes into the air. To her, this and hearing the Grunts' various battlecries are the only fun parts of the game.

General

 * Shaf Girl has written many short stories, but never completed a full novel, which she plans to do by the time she goes to college.


 * Her first story was called Fire Eyes and was about a red wolf named Agate. She planned to make it several chapters long--not a good idea for a first story. Fire Eyes was eventually scrapped because the plot led to nowhere.


 * However, Agate and other aspects of Fire Eyes have appeared in all of Shaf Girl's written pieces in some shape or form ever since.


 * Not all of Shaf Girl's stories center around animals. But most do.


 * While she loves the Alpha series by Lisi Harrison, she despises the Clique series by the same author. Thus, the Clique series has become the "anti-inspiration" for all of Shaf Girl's stories.

Fuega Fuega

 * The original concept for the story came to Shaf Girl after a massive six-month-long RP session with GroceryBag and several of her other friends. This RP was called LakeClan and took place many moons after the four original Clans, with four new Clans living by the lake.


 * Shaf Girl decided to write a prequel to LakeClan, since her character, Wildfire, had a very complicated past that resulted in a lot of the plot in LakeClan. However, she also decided to turn the actual RP into a story itself. This prequel/retelling of LakeClan turned into Fuega Fuega.


 * The name Fuega Fuega came from the Cheetah Girls song "Fuego Fuego." While Shaf Girl hated the song, she wanted to name a rogue character Fuego. So that was what became Wildfire's rogue name, except it changed from Fuego to Fuega to sound more feminine. It's a little ironic, because Fuega is anything but feminine.


 * Shaf Girl developed the character Wildfire long before the LakeClan RP. Originally, she was a RiverClan medicine cat who starred in a short story in which she saved several kits from a fire, earning her full medicine cat name. But since Shaf Girl needed to have a warrior character for LakeClan, she turned Wildfire into a tough she-cat, and the character evolved from there.


 * The story is dedicated to the singer Alecia Moore, aka P!nk.


 * If Fuega Fuega were ever made into a movie, Shaf Girl would want Jessie Flower to play the title character as a kit/young apprentice and P!nk to play her as an older apprentice/warrior.


 * The soundtrack for the movie would consist of songs all sung by (you guessed it) P!nk, with "Glitter in the Air" being the movie's theme.


 * The Morning Sage, a character to be featured later in Fuega Fuega, was originally adopted from the Inheritance Cycle series of books. The two characters don't share much similarities besides their name.
