Wait fitgirl is actually a female? Been using those repacks for a very long time. A legend among the scene.

Yep, she was super happy when another girl came upon the scene, Empress. They collabed on a big release one time and I remember her saying "Girl power!", then not long after Empress had a big ego trip and falling out with the repackers.
