I've been a gamer since I was seven years old. I consider myself a collector, as I still preserve all the consoles and games I acquired throughout my life. As a kid, I loved reading a game manual to understand the nuances of its gameplay, like enemy types, collectibles, level themes, and secrets. I grew up with Sega consoles, playing games like Sonic 2, Land of Illusion, Batman Returns and Jurassic Park on Master System, Mortal Kombat 2, Eternal Champions, Streets of Rage 2 and World Heroes on Genesis, Enemy Zero, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and Albert Odyssey on Saturn and Phantasy Star Online, Shenmue and Rent-a-Hero on Dreamcast. But I also became a huge RPG fan on Sony consoles, loving games like Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, Final Fantasy VIII and Legend of Dragoon on PlayStation and Shadow Hearts, Xenosaga Ep2, Tsugunai Atonement, Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits, Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne and so many more on PlayStation 2.

Music
I have appreciated music since I was a little girl, directly influenced by my parents. I started listening to progressive rock, like Genesis, Yes, Rush and Marillion, and jazz and fusion names, like Pat Metheny, Al Di Meola and Donald Fagen due to my father's influence. I also grew up listening to names like Duran Duran, David Bowie, Tears for Fears and The Cure because of my mother's influence. I spent my teenage years watching MTV Brasil shows, like Fúria Metal and Gás Total, and I discovered my taste for bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith no More, Living Color, Suicidal Tendencies, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Mr. Big, Extreme, Skid Row, Winger, Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros. I already knew metal names like Pantera, Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth, but when I had access to the internet, I had the opportunity to discover other bands and I started to like names like Opeth, Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Death, Prong and Gojira.
