Plurality
This user is plural; we have two members, Eszter and Lily, who will front and edit Wiki projects. It is not required to memorize our names; referring to any of us by our username DancingGrumpyCat is sufficient.
If we use a first-person pronoun to describe ourselves in totality or in plurality, it will be "we" or a similar pronoun in any language. Any one of us referring to themself alone will use the pronoun "I," or again a similar pronoun in any language.

Interests
=Computer programming=
We have been programming for {{Age in years|2015}} years, since our junior year of high school.
=Editing/Proofreading=
We enjoy editing, proofreading, and generally any maintenance task which appears more clean, polished, or complete afterwards.
=Game development (tabletop)=
We create board games.
=Vector graphic design=
We create vector art, mainly for use in diagrams and our board game prototypes.
=Linguistics=
We speak English and Spanish with fluency, and we study linguistics for the purpose of conlanging and worldbuilding. We'd like to learn Yiddish, and have an interest in the cyrillicization of Yiddish writing from a linguistic standpoint disregarding any political implications.
=Mathematics=
We have a calculus-level understanding of mathematics and we are learning linear algebra.
=Music=
We have been practicing cello for {{Age in years|2009}} years, practice piano occasionally, and study the theory of how to play many other instruments. We use this knowledge to compose and write about music. We have an affinity for xenharmonic (also called microtonal) music. We appreciate videogame music and its composition but have no experience with DAWs.
Our taste in music to listen to ranges from Western art music to heavy metal to big band, among many other genres.
=Pedagogy=
We aspire to teach ourselves and others with accuracy, brevity, and clarity.
