Someone who exclusively or predominantly plays one character, stans one artist, or commits to one primary choice above all others — the embodiment of loyalty to a main. A mainer doesn't dabble; they have a single focus, deep knowledge, and usually strong opinions about anyone who plays their character badly or doesn't give their fave the credit they deserve. In gaming, a mainer is a specialist who's logged hundreds of hours on one pick. In fandom, it's the person who makes one artist their entire personality.
As a mainer she could tell within seconds if someone actually knew the character or was just picking them for the tournament meta.
