Fayelinya

Fayelinya is a shy cat girl and a staff member in the BVA's Drawpile Wing. She works on that shyness, eagerly helps with anything Drawpile-related with her better-than-average computer knowledge.

Artist Background
Fayelina has been a long-time lurker and fan of content creators such as Chuggaconroy (aka Emile), JoshJepson, and Stephen Georg, not interacting on the Internet at all until joining StephenCraft, a now-defunct Minecraft fan server made by Stephen’s community, in 2014. Lurking otherwise continued in Lucahjin, TomFawkes, and other streams until 2018, when she finally started talking in ProtonJon and FireLordBrooke (Josh’s wife)’s communities and immediately joining on the bandwagon of soon-to-be (at the time) internet grandparents StephenGeorg and MalMakes as Stephen starts streaming on Twitch for something other than their annual charity stream: breakfast.

She’s been a fan of TheRunawayGuys since inception and happened to follow many creators that would eventually become “TRG friends” and become a part of TheRunawayGuys Colosseum annual charity event. It’s almost like magic that one Let’s Player would lead people places…

Now out of her shell, you can find her frequent Discord in TRG members and friends’ servers (particularly, StephenGeorg and JoshJepson/FireLordBrooke). As an aspiring artist, she also frequents the Egg PAC server, both as a chatter and a fellow artist. She is also an honorary staff member for the community's weekly Drawpile (called as such because of her voluntary efforts to upkeep Drawpile metadata).

A Cured Cat Girl’s Backstory
The truth about her existence is because Fayelina wanted to write the Drawpile into BVA lore as she makes an OC of herself, but she still has a legitimate backstory:

Fayelinya was once infected with a sort of kitty virus when she was young. Exact details are no longer clear to her, but she vaguely remembers that it was a part of some sort of prank despite suffering physical consequences. Anyway, she’s since been cured, but she managed to keep the ears and tail. She doesn’t mind being called a cat girl; she’s fine with this fate because it’s cute. She balances out the cuteness by wearing skimpy bottoms and/or the Rosajon hoodie, which she can somehow wear without suffering the "effects" most of the time. It may have to do with it being personalized.

She’s been good with computers from a young age, which is how she landed a job in the BVA in the first place. You’ll most likely find her somewhere in the Drawpile Wing of the BVA on the 118th floor (usually in her office tagging random posts or whatever). When she isn’t drawing (and learning how to do it in the process), she mainly volunteers to tag every Drawpile in the Protonbooru for easy searching. As a personal project, she also upkeeps a Drawpile gallery online and asks for wall spaces around the BVA to post old and new Drawpiles on. Any and all server fires and penguin problems in the wing may have slowed that down, however.

What was once hard to vocally admit...
Hidden by her shyness, a lesser-known fact she doesn’t mention much is that she absolutely loves the sounds of some low-pitched wind instruments, reflected in the bass clef flairs in her personalized Rosajon hoodie. As the “tuba girl” text on the back of the hoodie suggests, she played tuba in her school’s band when she was younger, keeping to the back and hidden from sight (and usually blending in with the band as tubas do). She supports breaking gender roles, which is one of the reasons why she plays in the first place. Who says that girls can’t play the bass line?

Behind her shyness, she loves the tuba with all her heart, playing bass, playing down low, or both! She misses playing in band from years long gone, but she has her own horn to play on her own terms with. When she’s not shy to show this side of her (especially as of late), she can be seen playing in the Drawpile Wing from time to time instead of staying in her office, even though the air conditioning in the entire wing is set very low for the penguins and making it hard on herself to play in-tune and not freezing up without cranking the heat in her space. The penguins seem to like her playing regardless, so she puts them to sleep every night before signing off.

Since she loves low notes so much, she doesn’t promise not causing potential earthquakes with how low she tends to play. ...Given she can warm up both physically and with her horn. It seems like she's practiced a lot down in that range and gotten so good at it that she scares people (and the penguins) with how low she can go (part of that is actually startling others who happen to pass by). Just to flex, she even plays some classical pieces at a lower octave. Though, on a more practical level, she tends to casually play bass lines to songs she knows. It's what tuba parts stereotypically are, but she has fun playing that sort of thing. If she's not practicing the extreme low register and shaking the BVA building, she's probably practicing walking bass line or what a tuba plays in polka music. ...and throwing in some juicy pedal notes from time time to spice things up because she can't resist. *wink*

She claims that softly-played low notes from low winds (and orchestral strings from the cello downward) calms her, including those she makes on her own. She's been seen in her office cat-napping with soothing tuba music playing, but she doesn't tell that to anyone.

Booru Curse
The otherwise silent cat girl has a sound-padded office, which does help with her tuba-playing tendencies, but it’s not just for that… she happens to have a sound-related Booru Curse.

Her phone’s been glitchy the moment she was written in started working in the BVA as a volunteer. For whatever reason, at very inopportune moments, her phone goes off with some meme sound byte. If you randomly hear Albert Wesker’s “You will give me an egg!” or a certain anime content creator doggo say “EEKUM BOKUM” (among other things), that may be her phone. This sucks when she tries to lurk around in the BVA, effectively breaking her lurks way worse than how Jon tends to pull them off.

What infuriates her as a tech nerd is that she can’t fix this by simply setting her ringer to vibrate or silent (which is what she sets it to most of the time anyway.) She’s thought to get sound padding for the rest of the Drawpile Wing for that reason, including the room where Drawpiles happen. The only thing that stops her (and management) was the constant server fires in the Drawpile Wing, so she settled with just her office getting decent sound padding instead (which, inadvertently, helped with her cold wing problem). She realizes the hard way that anything Jon touches (directly or indirectly) can go wrong at any moment. At least it gives her an excuse to play her instrument as loud as she likes and not be judged for sounding off loud, low notes that make her sound unladylike and not startle everyone.
