Toppo has always been an artist who pushes against the conventions of traditional society. Raised by an actor/ fight choreographer and a costume craftsman from a small town in the Pacific Northwest, they quickly learned that conventional is overrated. As an Italian-American blessed with angular features, lanky limbs, and a perpetual zest for life, their friends often say that they are just a "weird little guy" in a female body. They have found solace in characters from the horror genre, as a clown and (on occasion) as just a regular old gal.

During their spare time, you can find them at the museum making fun of naked paintings, trying to prove how Italian they are, or coming up with some outrageous idea for a character in their latest Dnd campaign.
