Lights has a tiger on her upper left arm which is colored in blue to mimic one found in the World of Warcraft games. “This is like a Siberian tiger right here, which is also the spectral tiger mount from World of Warcraft, which is a rare mount which I don’t have.”
Lights has a lion on her left elbow. She has a song called “Lions” and admires them as an animal. “I’ve always thought lions were the epitome of beauty and strength and power,” she says.
