This article is really short. Please add to this stub until it is suitable for ZFGC. Please improve this article!

Mirby is someone who's been around for a very long time. Having seen the site in its many iterations, including the past version of this very wiki, she's somewhat knowledgeable on its history.

History

Growing Up with ZFGC

At the age of 13, Mirby joined ZFGC sometime in October of 2003 under the alias mariomario112189, several months after Daniel Barras had founded the site for his project, Ocarina of Time 2D. The forums were hosted on ezBoard back in those days, but that didn't last long. They were soon moved to invisionFree, and then to some other format she's not sure of (she's pretty sure it's SMF). During this time, her moniker had changed to dakirbymaster or DKM for short. Then, in 2007, it became MetaKirby.

In July of 2008, Mirby made a revelation to the forums. Located within a thread entitled MetaKirby Reveals All! the then male-identified MetaKirby revealed their habits of crossdressing. This later spiraled into the truth however, which was that MetaKirby was, in fact, transgendered. Despite some troubling posts by other members, and some attacks, MetaKirby held her head up high.

She continued on her path, and in 2010 moved away from her hometown to Fremont, CA. After six months there, she found herself in San Francisco, where she lives to this day.

Banning

Mirby was temporarily banned once. As can be seen in this post she went on a rather explicit rant against then-member Random. After dealing with his own special brand of idiocy for weeks, she finally snapped and ripped into him. These arguments were evident by bertfallen's post immediately preceding the linked one, consisting entirely of, "Oh god, is this going to be another Mirby vs Random?"

It did not, because Diminish, then 4Sword, banned her to keep her word. As fate would have it, he was permanently banned a couple of weeks after this incident, and Mirby's ban expired after 30 days. It was good for her, as she was able to relax and get into a better state of mind.

Past Projects

Mirby has worked on many of her own projects, including but not limited to:

- The Legend of Zelda: Bloodlines

- Relics of Nature's Fury

- Dr. Wily (hack of Dr. Mario)

- EXE Quest (hack of the original Final Fantasy with Mega Man Battle Network characters)

- Super Mario Adventure (many iterations)

- Pokémon Rainbow

- Clarisse's Quest 7 (Rockman 7 FC sprite hack)

Trivia

- Mirby has a near encyclopedic memory for random facts and trivia. For instance, in the hardcover copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, there are 734 numbered pages.

- Though she is not athletic, she does enjoy playing sports, especially football. There is no need for clarification, as both types of football are fun.

This project arranges tracks from multiple Final Fantasy games, all of which can be linked to their respective games' Cid.

- She also has presence on the "making-the-world-a-better-place" side of things, working for a youth advisory board overseeing a homeless youth services agency. She has also spoken out against ill treatment of homeless youth, especially in the Castro area of San Francisco.
