Hi! I'm Fem!Shep. You can find all of my links here.

I’m a master modern Marisa player, having climbed from rookie to 1800s MR in my first fighting game. I'm a content creator for Paragon, I coach on Metafy, and I'm proud to publicly identify as a bisexual, neurodivergent woman of Jewish heritage, holding space and advocating for inclusion of lesser represented people like me in the FGC.

Thanks to Paragon, brand partnerships, and FGC community support, you’ve seen me at majors before: EVO 2024, Frosty Faustings 2025, CEO 2025, and EVO 2025.

In recent years, I've battled with prolonged unemployment periods as a professional copywriter faced with generative AI. While I am grateful to currently be working full-time, it's outside of my field, and in this current economy and on my current salary, I do not have the money to independently save towards traveling to larger, out-of-state FGC events.

But I want to experience Combo Breaker.

Between plane tickets, Ubers, food, and my portion of a hotel room, I need an estimated $1,200 to attend my first major of 2026, and what would be my first Combo Breaker: May 22-24 in Schaumburg, IL. My registration and entry fees would be covered by my sponsor, Paragon, but everything else is not.

So I will be hosting CROWDFUND BREAKER streams!

What will happen on these CROWDFUND BREAKER streams?

Well, alongside playing normal Street Fighter 6 matches (ranked, casual, or Battle Hub,) the main power will be in your hands to decide what chaos unfolds.

The following donation categories determine what we do.

I will be checking this page throughout streams, or you can let me know in chat that you've made a donation! Obviously, donations above the requirement for each event are extremely helpful for reaching the goal, but I'm not out here to rob people. Every $5 still counts!

If the goal is not met, money will be set aside towards attending a different major in the future. If the goal is exceeded, excess will either go towards a different FGC event or help pay for everyday expenses in my life with my girlfriend and our three cats.

CATEGORY #1: SF6 COSMETICS

This is pretty straightforward. You can modify my in-game appearance with donations.

1. Pick my outfit/color on Marisa ($5)
2. Pick my CFN name ($5)

4. Pick the background song for all matches (from the in-game music) ($5)
5. Hop on Discord VC and walk me through designing a completely new World Tour avatar, however you like ($5)
6. Hop on Discord VC and dress my World Tour avatar however you like ($5)

8. Or have me run around World Tour a bit in my new (possibly horrifying) form ($5)

CATEGORY #3: LIVE COACHING

What it sounds like! I'll actually do a mini coaching sesh with you on stream. You can be in the Discord server voice chat if you want.

1. Live replay analysis ($5)
2. Live FT2 set with me (+ short advice) ($5)
3. Alternatively, if 2 viewers want to FT2 each other and then both get a bit of advice, that's $5 from each of you. I spectate, then analyze.
4. You can book off-stream coaching with me on Metafy for $30 an hour. This still contributes towards the fundraising goal; I will add it manually.

CATEGORY #4: SO I WROTE A BOOK

If you didn't know, my debut sapphic YA sci-fi reimagining of Hades/Persephone in outer space (feat. a goofy robot sidekick) publishes from Peachtree Teen on May 5. It's called BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW, and this is where we chat about writing stuff!

1. AMA about the traditional publishing industry ($5)
2. AMA about my book ($5)
3. Got a manuscript? Will critique your query letter ($10)
4. Claim a PERSONALIZED HARDCOVER of the book.
   • BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW releases on May 5.
   • I will mail you a signed, personalized hardcover—including 3 character stickers and a bookmark with art by FGC's own Quasimodox—to anywhere in the USA.
   • I will ship from New Jersey within a week of the release on May 5. I can only ship within the USA.
   • Limited to 3: $20 to claim one. (Book by itself normally retails for $20, and I'm covering shipping + all the extra book swag.)

CATEGORY #5: TIER LISTS

Let the chaos ensue. You already know.

1. I re-evaluate my bisexual SF6 sexiness list from YT, now with current DLC included ($5)
2. Request an SF6 tier list of any topic, no matter how silly ($5)

3. Alternate runback: $5 and I DEFEND any HMO you submit
4. SPOON rules stay the same ($5 to boost)

CATEGORY #8: IDK, DUDE, PITCH ME

Got something you think we should do? Pitch me and I'll decide if I'll do it, and if it's worth $5 or $10.

1. Maybe you want me to watch and react to an old fighting game thing I've never seen.
2. Maybe you want me to plan another stream of a game I don't usually play.
3. Maybe you want me to embarrass myself on a character I don't know how to use.
4. Maybe you want me to show photos of my cats (we have 3.)
5. Maybe you've got some kind of question about me? My stream setup? How I got sponsored/how to find orgs? How I met my girlfriend, if you're sappy like that? Sky's the limit.
6. I don't know your life! Hit me!

RULES FOR ALL CROWDFUND BREAKER STREAMS:

1. This is not OnlyFans. Keep any sexual content to jokes about fictional characters, not harassment of myself or anyone in chat.
2. No bigotry. This is pretty self-evident. Offensive behavior towards racial, gender, sexuality, disability, neurodivergent, etc. minority groups will provoke a warning. If persistent or especially obscene, will prompt an immediate ban.
3. Be considerate. For any group activities, even if we're lovingly roasting each other, conduct yourself like an adult or you will be banned.
4. All donations are non-refundable. If you behave inappropriately and are banned from the stream, but had already donated to the goal, your money will not be returned. If you tried to claim the book giveaway but live outside the USA, your money will not be returned. Behave accordingly.
