To all five of my readers: I've moved! I am now at a different writing site that's relatively small compared to FP. I thought that by moving to a smaller site I would get to know the other writers there better. I'll still visit FP once in a while and I'll keep my profile and story here intact, but for the most part, I will be over at the other site. If you care to join me, I will leave the site's address here.

Hi, I'm Keba. Actually, my Pen Name is Keba Si Rota, because the name "Keba" was already taken by a person who didn't even use their account. How unfair! Some of you might know me on FanFiction.net as Keba (without Si Rota, my last name... er... names). Now, don't dismiss me because I'm also on FanFiction.net. Personally, I just think fan fiction is harmless fun-- not "blasphemy" as some of you stuck-up people call it. Yeah, there are a lot of bad fan fics out there, but there are a lot of bad original works out there, too. The biggest difference is that bad original works can still get published (and they do!) while fan fics just stay on fan fiction sites. But enough about fan fiction. Let's talk about me!

Let me tell you about myself with some quick stats!
Full name: Keba Si Rota
Sex: Female
Age: Probably older than you
Birthday: December 25
Height: 5ft 3in
Weight: I'm not telling. Ha-ha!
Hair: Brown and curly
Eyes: My left eye is more blue and my right eye is more hazel. Creepy, huh?
Location: USA (North of Chicago)

Stories (actually it's just one, so far)
My first story is called "Destination" and it has a manga flavor to it, so it's in the "Manga" category. "Destination" is what I like to call an "autobiography of my feelings". It's a very personal story, and you might find out more about me by reading it. The main character is a fox demon named Keba. (Don't think of me writing myself into the story. Think of it as me taking the name of the character to use as my own.) Keba is being hunted by a dark demon who killed Keba's parents. She has been on the run for 10 years and is lonely. She does not know why the dark demon is chasing her or how to escape. Help comes in the form of a human who was told by a heavenly being to protect Keba. Keba and this human have to work together to dispel the dark demon, but first they have to learn to trust each other.

Note: Although I haven't updated since May of 2007, I haven't given up on "Destination". It's just that I've been very busy these past couple months.

Here are my interests:
My one love is rock music. I like a lot of different kinds of rock. I don't just buy CDs-- I pledge alligence to the band. I'm not listing my favorites just yet because I bet you'll make fun of me. I don't necessarily like a band because it's popular. I like what I think sounds good.

Because I love music so much, I want to become a singer. And any singer has to write songs in order to have credibility. I enjoy writing song lyrics and I'm collaborating on instrumental parts. I'm trying to get a band together. I've wanted a band for four years now, and I don't even have any band mates (my guitarist resigned). Yeah, I know it's a stupid dream to want to be a rock singer, but it's MY stupid dream. Maybe I'll post some of my songs on this site to see what you think.

One of my favorite hobbies is drawing. I draw anime characters an my own anime-like original characters. And the members of my favorite band. I'm going to make a manga featuring them, sometime. I posted some of my art on www.tokyopop.com and I got some good responses. My name there is KebaSiRota. What a shocker. But I don't use that account much anymore because Tokyopop is a lousy site. I have since moved to www.deviantart.com. My name their is (surprise!) KebaSiRota. I also created a forum on this site for artists of all skill levels to come and talk about their work.

I like anime, but I wouldn't consider myself an anime junkie. I mainly just watch "Naruto" (fan subbed) because it's my favorite anime. I've watched others, but most of them were pretty short, and I have since finished them (example: "Death Note"). You might be wondering if I got the idea for Keba the fox demon from "Naruto", but I didn't. I came up with the character with a friend when we were into "Inuyasha" (the first time I drew her, she looked like a teenage, female Shippo). If you're wondering, I don't watch "Inuyasha" anymore. I just missed too many episodes, and the last time I watched it, I was totally confused.

Another thing I like to to is make web pages. I have two. One is for fan art from various anime series. The other is a dedication to my favorite rock band-- with an anime twist. I also have a blog where I post random things about my life and my thoughts. I find I've repeated my thoughts many times with so many sites and Internet profiles, so don't be surprised if you've read the same thing about me multiple times. That is, if you HAVE read something about me previously.

An explanation of my avatar:
Yeah, I posted one of my manga-like drawings. I know I've lost all street cred, now. If you're wondering that's an old drawing of Keba (the character, not me).

And now, a final note:
I am shy as heck. As much as I like getting hits and reviews, it might be some time before you get a response from me. I have to work up a lot of guts to read those reviews because I know I'm not going to get just strict praise. I've noticed that people on FictionPress.com are a lot more serious about their work than people on FanFiction.net are, so the former are more likely to give more intense reviews than the latter. Although I'm shy about reading reviews for fear of what they may contain, I don't want a review that just says, "great story". I want an in-depth review. Still, I don't want flames, which are far different from constructive criticism. Constructive criticism gives writers an idea of what they could improve upon. Flames just say how bad the story is and they are not helpful in the least. In fact, they're a big blow to my confidence. Luckily I haven't encountered any flamers on this site, so far. I hope it stays that way.
