DAPURPLESHARPIE: IN HER OWN WORDS

I’m DaPurpleSharpie, but I just go by Sharpie.

I’m just your average video game fanatic. I mostly tend to stick to a few specific games, like Skullgirls: Second Encore, League of Legends, and Them’s Fightin’ Herds, but I love to branch out every once in awhile. My personal passion is helping to use my platform to showcase independently-made video games.

My focus has always been assisting communities with growth and I’ve been able to assist by working as the fighting game community tournament organizer at Xanadu Games.

I’m also one of the three co-founders of Combo Queens: an organization dedicated to helping encourage female and non-binary people to become more involved in the fighting game community.
