*...can't ever stay under one name. In fact, 'ArcToraphim' is really the pseudonym to her truest pseudonym, Luna Tiger. Or simply Luna. Or simpler yet, LT. Due to her ex-moniker on SPPf though, she's also commonly called Toraphi over there. But it's still just 'Luna' for short and likes it best. | *...can't ever stay under one name.

*...is a Water Dog - Aquarius, born January 31th, 1983, and currently going for an English Major / Drama Minor at a CUNY established college (yay, how useless!). Conveniently, and much to her passive ire, her real name is January. You won't find her name in the CotD'dex anytime soon. Shame. It's a pretty name, just not grand to have. | *...is a Water Dog - Aquarius, born January 31th, 1983, and currently going for an English Major / Drama Minor at a CUNY established college (yay, how useless!).

*...accepted '''mod status''' solely to update the [[Shipping:List_of_shippers|(In)Complete 'Shippers List]] on Bulbagarden's forums. She's been at it since July of 2006...and she admits it might have made her a little [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/tetched tetched] sometime in between then and now. | |||

*'''Side Note''': While 'ships can be found in several other fandoms, she believes it doesn't work the same for them as it does Pokémon. Her opinion is the -shipping suffix itself is clumsy and useless in a limited setting...but she still really likes maintaining the List. | *'''Side Note''': While 'ships can be found in several other fandoms, she believes it doesn't work the same for them as it does Pokémon.

*...is a major [[Falkner]] and [[Gardenia]] fan. She loves Falkner before other characters (though holds back on public fanning) and will never stop; Gardenia was the first Gym Leader since Falkner to truly make her heart go pitter-patter. She is also a fangirl of [[Brock]] (and his [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]] too). | |||

*'''Side Note''': She's ashamed to admit she is responsible for the majority of Falkner 'ships on the 'Shipper's List, but also admits it's addictive and fun, and impossible for her to stop. In the same recipe, she 'ships Honorshipping (Morty x Falkner) above all others and believes to be its biggest English contributor toward it. | *'''Side Note''': She's ashamed to admit she is responsible for the majority of Falkner 'ships on the 'Shipper's List, but also admits it's addictive and fun, and impossible for her to stop.

*...is a huge fan of the [[Johto]] region in general and wishes it hadn't turned out to be the black sheep of the Pokémon generational games. The majority of her favorite pokémon come from that region, and hates seeing them strewn across Hoenn and the Sevii Isles just so Johto doesn't need to be revisited. The region's traditionalist air is also attractive. Please Nintendo, bring Johto back for the 4th generation! | *...is a huge fan of the [[Johto]] region in general and wishes it hadn't turned out to be the black sheep of the Pokémon generational games.

Having joined since mid-2003, making many a submission since (including [[OriginShipping]]), it came to a point where...she got really adamant (read: annoying) with pointing out the List errors and was promoted to Modship to take over the List-keeping. ...Then MondoTR vanished, leaving the poor girl to Mod alone, without really knowing what to do with her shiny new powers.

...Now aside from that, Luna is militant upon protecting the List's integrity and purpose. She's not afraid to beat people around to accepting what's on there is (more or less) Law, for all reasons to prevent confusion and keep unity over what something is called. It's a reference, an ever-growing reference that should be used, not neglected, and people who ignore using it when they know it exists...are unhealthy for the romantic side of the fandom. | ...Now aside from that, Luna is militant upon protecting the List's integrity and purpose.

She vehemently protected Towershipping when Ash/Anabel fans wanted to call it that (when it had been Rafe/Ash since the Deoyxs movie), until it was finally settled to [[AbilityShipping]]. She fought to save [[LagomorphShipping]] from people who didn't like the word ''lagomorph'', until that calmed down as well. She denied people trying to peg Lucas/Dawn as Shinoushipping when it was already | She vehemently protected Towershipping when Ash/Anabel fans wanted to call it that (when it had been Rafe/Ash since the Deoyxs movie), until it was finally settled to [[Shipping:AbilityShipping|AbilityShipping]].

She denied people trying to peg Lucas/Dawn as Shinoushipping when it was already [[Shipping:FortuneShipping|FortuneShipping]], and is ''glad'' Shinoushipping is scarred with both Lucas/Dawn and Ash/Dawn, preventing people from saying that there's a pattern to follow when it comes to region names and the couples they represent. | ||

...She's a grammar nazi, of sorts. Mainly she just fixes errors when she finds them and punches in a number or two, or throws in a couple lines of extra information, but not much else. Making and designing pages are better left to the people who can do then properly, which isn't her. She's low-grade. | ...She's a grammar nazi, of sorts.
