From Tokyopop:

Lincy Chan was born in Hong Kong and moved to the United States in 1994. She has lived in the world of anime and manga from the moment she learned to read. She persevered through years of school by scribbling and doodling on all her textbooks and notebooks. She entered college as an Accounting major in the feeble attempt to appease "the powers that be." Her passion got the best of her and she eventually switched majors. Though being a manga-influenced artist made her years at art school a bit on the unbearable side, she graduated with a BFA from SJSU in 2004. Since then she has been working as a freelance illustrator. She entered the RSoM contest three times and made the top 20 her last try. She received a strange e-mail from someone claiming to be a writer in April 2005 who now happens to be the co-creator of Rhysmyth. Lincy is following her dream and hopes to one day be able to draw comics for a living. Her motto is "never give up."
