General Info
Biography
Christina was one of the original NC contributers and loads of her beautiful artwork is showcased in her gallery. She's an extremely talented pencil artist which is what I like most about her art. She also did a front cover for a story called 'Doppelgangers, Sorceresses and Oracles' written by Jason Boaz that actually featured some of mine and Kirsty's own characters (Leigh, Mara and Kylara!). Not only that but Christi has also written some great fanfics based on LttP and LA, such as Castaway.
