Chibi recently graduated from UCDavis with a B.S. in Biological Sciences, with an emphasis in Microbiology and a focus on biotechnology. She is also interested in Microbial Food Science, taking Food Science courses when she can. Her last UCDavis course was a Study Abroad course on viticulture (VEN3) in France!

Stéfani's great-grandmother immigrated from Japan to Brazil during World War II. Paternally, her grandparents are from mainland China, but her father was born in Taiwan. Afterwards, he and his family moved to Brazil. Her mother and father met in college. She was born in São Paulo and moved with her family to the U.S. when she was four years old. She has lived in New York State, New Jersey, back to a different area in New York State, then back to Dallas where her parents now reside. She has two younger brothers, one who is currently in college in New York, and the other who lives with her parents in Dallas.

"Chibi" means "small/ short." She first gained the nickname because in high school, she had a senior friend named Stephanie, whose nickname was Zahni. To avoid confusion, people called her Chibi Zahni, or Chibi Zee. Now she goes by just Chibi. Although it does help that she is small, her nickname did not originate from her height.

You can find her at facebook and join her fanclub too! She does cosplay and is in the Changeling & Mage Larps.

Chibi is currently both the mascot and member of Davis Anime Club and DRAGON.

2008-09-04 15:09:22   Hey, I'd love to agree re: cosplay, but during the mid to late 1990s the term "cosplay" utterly took over for all fandom masquerade and costuming. I've always loathed the generalization of the term (it really watered down the original roots of the term, and I lament the shrinking usage of fandom terms with their own history), but it is now in general use among fandom and the original terms it has replaced are dwindling. I'd love to fight against that, but the general real-world usage among, say, Ghostbuster cosplayers or Klingon groups is to use "cosplay", and it pops up in SF cons all the time as a general replacement for the older costuming terms. (Of course, "costuming" somewhat replaced "masquerade" during the 1980s, so it's an old old cycle). Nowadays the term has a larger meaning that applies to different groups, which is why I expanded the scope of the intro — people coming to the entry will be arriving from different perspectives. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards

2008-12-19 10:05:11   Hey, you might want to make the lolita entry more relevant to Davis. Where (relevant to Davis) lolifashion is worn, clubs, etc. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards

2009-02-08 23:02:26   Very nice. I enjoyed going to Woodland yesterday also. I'm planning on going to Japantown next month too, hope to see you. —NickSchmalenberger

2009-04-17 21:31:49   Aren't they just moving? —JasonAller

2009-05-21 12:58:21   You really should put up a pic of yourself. I usually don't suggest this, but I THINK I've seen you @ Dragon, but I'm not sure... —MasonMurray
