From TFC Galactopedia

I'm Zannah Lyles, aka Zannah, Zanny, Zan, and sometimes "Doom" (and like Perdi, it's a well deserved title). I'm one of TFC's original Cast Members. I've been around since the generic web messageboard days, through the EZ board and Ikonboard migrations, the double and tripple Ikonboard phase, and of course, the current phpBB system. I remember the site when it didn't have its own domain name yet, but was hosted off sleepco.com and looked like Flash had an allergic reaction to the internet. I'm one of TFC's Oldtimers, been here 8+ years (I think, it's gotten a little fuzzy after all this time). I found TFC via a link off Silas Zee's Yerf gallery. My entry to the story itself came mostly in the form of three (very badly written) fanfics. You'd have to know the original version of the storyline for them to make any sense now, though I still have them. I happened to catch the original character auditions, and I actually have two Characters here. Zannah and Kytlar are both mine.

I am TFC's only fully trained PC Jedi Knight. I ended up with this distinction partly because the Plot demanded it, and because the other four or five Jedi characters we started with all ended up leaving or drastically changing their bios. I never intended to become a main character, but that's the way the story ended up taking me. Zannah is an arctic fox vixen, defined in TFC as a Lemorian, a race of my creation (fox people). Her lightsaber is a trademark coruscating rainbow blade (it shifts color up and down the length). She works as a smuggler and freelance cargo runner, and generally tries to keep a low profile. That worked pretty well until she entered the TFC storyline. She will also be in Episodes II and III.

Kytlar is my secondary character. She's a Lemorian (gray fox) starfighter mechanic, part of the Rebel faction known as the Green Berets, and has quite the sharp tongue. She's one of the Green Beret survivors of Ep I, and has semi-adopted Kim Amethyst. Kytlar makes it into Ep II, but our current plotline doesn't have her making Ep III.

I started as just a Cast Member. I've had mod or admin powers to varying levels on the different itterations of messageboards we've used over the years. For awhile I was a "stealth admin", someone who had the power to fix things but wasn't one of the official people publicly recognized as admins. Now, I'm TFC's secondary admin. I take care of stuff when Perdi's away or busy. I also help write and edit the storyline, and I get to help pull the strings of our various Plot Monkeys, Muahahahaha. Evil is fun.

In reality, I'm a twenty-four year old artist, and actually sell art supplies (and my own work) for a living. Been out of school for over two years. I'm married, and have been married for three and a half years now. My husband goes by Nerio Fiachra on the boards. He's TFC's Code Guru. Both of us have been known to wield Grond when necessary.

Yes, my avatar on the boards does a nifty changy thing. No, you can't have one that does that. I am also one of the reasons for the "Do not piss off the fems" rule. I have no tolernace for stupid, and I bite, hard. When I'm REALLY pissed off, I let Malys out of her box, and she kills things for me. It generally takes a lot to get me to that point, though.
