A teapot is a devise for brewing and dispensing tea. According to computer mythology, it is also the first object in computer graphics non-geometric to be modeled by polygons. It is also the username for a busy college student in the US, majoring in computer science. She is more of a consumer of Wikipedia than a producer, but more for lack of time, social anxiety, and humility than lack of dedication or appreciation.

This user is a participant in WikiProject Anime and manga.

_{A note about French: I was born in Ontario, Canada and grew up speaking both English and French at home, although I was only exposed to English since birth, I picked up French before kindergarten and subsequently atttended a French-immersion school. However, I have not spoken French seriously since moving to the US in 1991, except for in middle school in 1998-1999. Consequently, I feel as though I can understand French being spoken, but it does not quite reach conscious comprehension. I can no longer form sentences in French, although it is known to occur spontaneously.}
