Matina Newsom

Matina Newsom was once seen running across a crosswalk with a plastic sword held high yelling “For Narnia!” for no reason but the fun of it. Nowadays you can find her cosplaying her favorite heroes, spending too much time at her LCS, or hunkered down at a coffee shop attempting to write a novel. For a day job, she works a library and helps people find all kinds of treasures, figure out how the printer works, and locate the best nook to study in for upcoming exams.
