The amazing podcasters over at Reply All put together a great introduction to Zarduluism when they first revealed my identity to a larger audience. You can listen to their reporting here if you have half an hour to spare, I highly recommend it!

But as a TL;DR,
I'm a wizard who trains animals and hires actors, then unleashes them on unsuspecting Americans to create modern day myths in the digital medium. You know me from:
And literally hundreds of other videos you've seen on your Facebook feed or on the news.
And that made playing as Mirabella Plunkett a pretty easy choice. Mirabella is best known in the books and movies as a character who is not in the books or movies. But chocolate frog cards are canon so deal with it.
It's a nice bonus that the myth of Mirabella reminds me of my favourite Norse myth too
I'm actually not sure if the picture there is of Mirabella holding a fish or a girl holding Mirabella. One of the great mysteries of the Harry Potter universe imo.
Anyway, I caught a fish a few months back and I'm confident that I've been able to train it well enough already that I can convince the other players that it is actually Mirabella. The fish I've trained isn't even a haddock but it's been my experience that people look beyond details in these cases because they want to believe.
This season, I'm going to be using my unique set of skills to plant some pearls of merriment for the rest of the cast and viewers to discover.
