Professor Felinia Southpaw
(Genevra Thurman)
Beauty Director

A witch, cosplayer, and pinup model from Nashville, Tennessee, Professor Southpaw first met Iris Imaginoria when she was a student in theatre camp at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre. She was deeply involved in their Youth Theatre program, and during the 2002-2003 season she won every award they offered except the Parent Volunteer award. 

After attemding  Chattanooga High School Center for Creative Arts, Genevra studied for two years of professional actors' training at Southwest Tennessee Community College. She also did costuming at "Unto These Hills" in Cherokee, North Carolina.

As an internationally published pinup cover model using the name "Gwen T. Lyte," she began shooting pinup art in 2020 and has worked with photographers from all over the country. As a member of the Luscious Ladies, she enjoys the empowerment of pinup.

In the Imaginorium, Professor Southpaw has taught at Wizarding Academies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and she helped establish the Wizarding Academy in Fairhope, Alabama. She taught herbology and was Head of House for Stonedragon.
One of her favorite memories (ironically) was the day in Massachusetts when a spell made everyone lose their memories. She became "Twilight Sparkle" from My Little Pony and kept calling all the boys My Little Pony names. At the Fairhope camp she recalls making a huge Chinese Dancing Dragon out of Hula Hoops and was also always feeding everyone as the unofficial staff Kitchen Witch. 

When she worked at  The Catio she helped rescue more than 4,000 cats on their way to adoption. 
She's also raising two pretty cool kids.
 
Her favorite fandoms include Disney, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, Doctor Who, and Sailor Moon.
​She believes, "PRISMagical Portals is a magical adventure. I'm not sure we know where we're going, but I'm sure it will be fun to figure it out together."
