_Etta, the founder and leader of Solvernia and its predecessor Lilac Lattice, joined Pxls late on Canvas 56. She was consistently one of the most active placers between Canvas 59 and Canvas 68 and being in the top 10 most active placers following r/place 2022. She was also a moderator on pxls from March 2023 to June 2024 and is the only past/current staff member to have joined pxls after 2020.
History
_Etta joined Pxls a few weeks after the end of r/place 2 through a thread created for the site in the Green Lattice Discord server. Initially only creating 2 sprites of the Pokémon Meloetta, one of which had been created and destroyed repeatedly during r/place 2, she later went on to fight against Left Pxls, mistaking their defense against Anti Communist Pxls as an attack on Green Lattice. She would go on to attack Legion's lattice, planning on moving the border between the two to the Rainbow Road to "make the border nicer" and nearly starting a conflict between Green Lattice and Legion before backing down upon being confronted by a member of Legion.
Leaving Pxls immediately upon the start of Canvas 56a due to her lack of investment and her attempt to build for Green Lattice being overwritten by Gura's Supermarket, _Etta would return to Pxls at the beginning of Canvas 58, bringing two friends with her and founding Lilac Lattice as an inverted version of Green Lattice. The faction would only last through the end of the canvas, with all of Lilac Lattice quitting Pxls on the first day of Canvas 59.
_Etta would rejoin halfway through Canvas 59, resurrecting Lilac Lattice and rebranding it as the Margraviate of Solvernia, planning on making it "the opposite of the Chromatic Empire," which she heavily disliked along with large factions in general. While keeping Solvernia itself out of conflicts, _Etta would both get involved in and start multiple conflicts, and would join Flandre after helping them at the tail end of the Flandre-Foxhole War. Her involvement in the Schizo War on Canvas 62 would lead to notEnough and briefly Caxap and Brot griefing Solvernia throughout all of Canvas 64 and Canvas 65. After intermittent griefing from notEnough through Canvas 67, _Etta finally came to an agreement with Schizophrenia, agreeing to defiddle an art piece for them in exchange for ending the conflict. _Etta was the fastest placer on Canvas 64a, initially being outplaced by Mcdoodlydoo, but ending the canvas with the highest pixel count by a large margin when Mcdoodlydoo stopped placing due to the canvas expansion preventing him from beating the theoretical maximum pixel count for the canvas.
_Etta became a mod partway through Canvas 66, becoming the first mod that had joined Pxls after mid 2020. On Canvas 68, _Etta would get into another conflict by destroying Wulfstrex's art, resulting in him starting a #blame_etta campaign and griefing art pieces in and around Solvernia's lattice in an attempt to get people to attack Solvernia, but was unsuccessful. Following the end of Canvas 68, _Etta's activity would begin to drop off significantly as she became busier IRL. Solvernia's attack on Senko's magenta background on Canvas 69 would lead to them being heavily griefed on the next canvas, with _Etta being unable to fend off the attacks due to her having less free time. Halfway through the canvas, _Etta would receive help from various people, leading to the completion of Solvernia's art and it being intact at reset.
_Etta's decreased activity would continue through Canvas 71, which ended up being her least active canvas ever, placing just under 12,000 pixels. _Etta would largely stay out of conflict during both Canvas 71 and Canvas 72, only having a minor border dispute with osu! that didn't amount to anything. During Canvas 73, she helped defend the pride Ninetales from Oofcloof and once Oofcloof gave up, she hunted down and removed any pixels they placed for the next couple of days. Halfway through the canvas, _Etta would take her first break from pxls since returning to the site on Canvas 58, not placing for roughly 2 weeks. Canvas 74 marked a massive burst in activity from _Etta, as she poured all of her time into creating a tribute and lattice for her friend who had passed away a few days before the canvas started. _Etta's faction, Solvernia, was almost entirely missing from the canvas, only griefing a small art piece over the art of a user who griefed more noticeable breasts onto the tribute. During Canvas 75, _Etta led a war against YOIB in collaboration with OnlyGriefs, which after destroying YOIB's main art resulted in a prolonged griefing campaign as SkrillyD repeatedly created a miniature YOIB emblem across the canvas. Canvas 76 was largely uneventful for _Etta, and despite being the owner of Solvernia she barely touched the faction's art, as it was completed much faster than her 500k ego. Over time her opinion of the Chromatic Empire had gradually mellowed out, and on Canvas 77 she helped design part of their background. Canvas 78 saw a significant resurgence in Solvernia along with an increase in _Etta's activity. Later in the canvas she joined in the War of the Magenta Coalition, but stopped griefing after only a short period. Sometime later, _Etta rejoined the conflict, even contributing an art piece to the raid. On this canvas _Etta both placed the two millionth pixel and became one of only a handful of people to place the three milionth pixel on a canvas.
_Etta has designed Canvases 68, 69, 72, and 74, along with designing the second favicon used by pxls.space.
