Lostris is a Wiki Representative on the Entertainment team. Working to support some of the top movies, TV, books, and lifestyle wikis, she also tries to highlighting the vast diversity of users that can be found on the entire platform by pushing forward any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion events as much as possible, as well as safeguarding the integrity of the platform as part of the volunteer SOAP team. Outside Fandom, she's searching to recover her pre-Covid life. The struggle has been real. Employing the help of a search and rescue cat proved unsuccessful cause the cat just lies there being cute. Who could've predicted that strange turn of events?
Fandom history[]
Lostris discovered Fandom, then-Wikia, in 2010 when a bus hit her car, and long story short, after a week in the hospital, condemned to literal bed rest for eight weeks in the middle of her parents's living room, and bored out of her mind, she started researching some firebending moves for her own fan-fiction, discovered the English Avatar Wiki, discovered its fanon portal, discovered the editing side, became the first female admin and bureaucrat of the Avatar Wiki, and 12 years and 128k edits later, here she is.
Always on the hunt for new challenges, she started helping out the global Fandom community in 2014 by reporting and reverting spam and vandalism, which landed her an invitation to the SOAP (then VSTF) team in November 2014. In February 2020, in a rare bout of good luck, Lostris happened to satisfy her curiosity about the Wiki Representative (then Wiki Manager) role just around the time Mandy got promoted, which led to her being contracted by Fandom.
Trivia[]
- The morning is evil, her weapon of choice is an endless stream of black coffee.
- Her favorite color is red, favorite number is 3, favorite animal is a tiger, and her all time favorite element is fire.
- Her username is a reference to the main woman character in River God by Wilbur Smith. Ironically, in light of the previous trivia, Lostris means "daughter of the waters".
- She loves to travel and lost her heart on the African continent. On the top of her travel bucket list is a visit to all the new world wonders. Only one check thus far. Two if you count the Ancient World Wonders as well.
- She hates dishonesty. And people who chew very loudly. Dishonest, loud chewers are the worst.
- She has only had 3 profile picture in her entire Fandom career (and the first two were actually the same).
- Her most cherished piece of fan-art will be Minnichi's vision of Lostris riding her flaming tiger to patrol the wiki's recent activity. That tiger was named Kejeli and got commemorated in a tattoo on Lostris' right side.
- Some Fandom highlights include getting Janet Varney to do an AMA for the Avatar Wiki's 15th anniversary, being one of the editor features during WHM 2022, as well as participating in the 2022 staff-community WHM video. In general, she's proud to have being given the chance to help promote Fandom's DEI efforts on her assigned communities.
- For some reason, weird stuff keeps happening to her.
