Sirielia

I'd have to say that my hero is my mother. She was adopted when she was little, and emotionally abused by her mother. She was a single mother at 20 with my eldest sister, and again at 23. After two failed marriages (and a two other failed pregnancies), she struggled to just keep my sisters and herself clothes, fed and housed. She even resorted to begging for money or stealing toiletries from her place of employment. Luckily, she married my father and they had me. Through all this, she had to suffer with her first two children having emotional and psychological problems. But she still kept trucking and to this day, even though she is riddled with arthritis and in pain, she is the glue that keeps this family together. I don't think there is another person I respect as much as her for all that she's been through and all that she has given selflessly to our family.

That hat is great... what's even better is the giant NES controller she made that you can see on her DeviantArt page.

I don't think Nintendo would sue them, since there are several flash movies/games that even go as far to use the actual sprites. However, I wouldn't doubt if they ask them to remove it. Not for copyright infringement, but probably more because I doubt they would want their characters affiliated with any activist organization.

I haven't laughed that hard for days... that was great.
