Revision as of 20:03, 7 December 2005
General
- 15 year old prodigy athlete
- Father: Klaus Lowrie
- Birthday is sometime in October or November.
- Was diagnosed with Walker's Syndrome at a very early age.
- Took various enhancers as a medical treatment until she was 8.
- The eighth youngest player ever admitted into PCAG competition.
- Recognized as being one of the best young players on the scene since Serena Duncan's debut eight years ago.
- Defeated Bryce Goran, eliminating him from competition (surprisingly early in the season).
- Was honoured to play against Ryan Cahill, even though she lost very very badly.
- As an 15 year-old would be, she is bubbly with adoration over Alejo Jackson.
Scandal
- As a child, suffered from cognitive and developmental disorders, and was treated with a range of experimental enhancement medications
- These enhancements are considered to be very unsporting, by some in the community.
- A specially convened committee of PCAG officials judged in favour of allowing her to compete
- The controversy is about her participation and the fundamental definition of cognitive enhancement by drugs
- A campaign against her entrance into the PCAG is being led by Jonas Sawgrass of the Alliance for Clean Players
- On 17-JUN-05, during her debut match (against Mikhail Terpening), protesters bought out a block of tickets and jeered the 14-year-old athlete.
- She left the stage crying.
- She still managed to win against Terpening.
- After the whole thing, Alejo Jackson sent her an encouraging note and a signed poster.
- Following her 13-JUL-05 win against Bryce Goran, opponents to Champaign insisted it to be clear evidence of "enhanced" players defeating "clean" players.
- Her 12-SEP-05 loss to Ryan Cahill was not seen as a victory for "clean" players
- Rather, wound up simply being another cheap excuse for Jonas Sawgrass of the Alliance for Clean Players to rail on about vigilance.
- Finally, during her 03-DEC-05 match, she fell just short of making the december cuts, and was ejected from championship play.
- She remains optimistic, and intends to work harder to be sharper next year.
