Your vote's breaking the tally a bit. It's not a huge deal, but if you want to fix it, I suggest putting a hyphen on the character name bit and removing the space between that and the plan name. That ensures the plan itself is attached to the name of the plan.

-[X] Character Name - Riley Baumann (Sofina Montacris)
-[X] Gender - Female
-[X] Backstory - A civil engineering student at MIT, Riley spent much of her studying hours getting distracted by sandbox building games and models of realistic fantasy castles. She could only be brought back on-track by her best friend and chronic overachiever, Elizabeth Sutherland. Riley grew up playing the rough-and-tumble knight to her best friend's prissy elegant princess, and the two tended to balance each others' worst traits. Unfortunately, neither of them were good at de-escalating, something that proved fatal when Riley drunkenly stormed out of Elizabeth's apartment after an argument and straight into oncoming traffic.
-[X] Insertion Method - how do you start out?
--[X] Reincarnation - You were born into the noble family of Montacris. While counts and countesses by lineage, a few generations of strategic marriages, good investments, and underhanded methods have lent your family wealth and influence far beyond that implied by their title (as well as a questionable reputation). By extension, they have sent all of their children thus far to the royal academy-- including you, their third child and first daughter. Your mother was loving before she passed, instilling in you a lifelong appreciation for art and geometry, but your father was always distant and demanding, only becoming moreso after he remarried. You must excel, for your father will show no mercy if you don't. (In your dreams, you remember a loving family in a world where you could build cities on a screen and a best friend who is the spitting image of a scion of a rival family, Amelira Capulisto.)
-[X] Appearance - description or picture. If you're choosing "Reincarnation," including the post-reincarnation appearance is mandatory and the pre-reincarnation appearance is optional.
-[X] Cheat: Game Break - "Clever one, to try it small. Foolish still, to try at all." - skill, weapon, status; powerful, but not unattainable by ordinary means, at the cost of complications later on.
---[X] Adventurer's Conjuration - You have been gifted with the natural ability to conjure objects. At your most basic, you can shunt objects into an abstract inventory and retrieve them at will, ignoring such mortal limitations as weight limits and carrying capacities. At first, your abilities are limited to inanimate objects that you can hold, and manipulating your inventory requires time and concentration (particularly as it grows larger); however, practice and experimentation may loosen or even remove these restrictions. You can also create simple objects using only the necessary raw materials, as well as copies of any object that has ever been in your inventory and any object you can create from memory or with your own skills. Eventually, you may learn to imbue objects in your inventory with certain properties, such as immense durability or unnatural physics.

Riley grew up playing the rough-and-tumble knight to her best friend's prissy elegant princess, and the two tended to balance each others' worst traits.

I think the whole appeal of Shining Maiden is that it has no cheats, kind of like how the whole appeal of xThomas2's plan is that it's supposed to pick up all the cheats (despite actually only having 4 listed?). Most of the people who mentioned why they picked that said they wanted no cheats, anyway.
... Also, while I actually quite like the character idea, that premise is... ironic. The actual original drow are imperial supremacists in their own right, with a legitimately cruel and malevolent culture. It's fair enough to put your own spin on them, but turning them into the maligned underdog trying to unite the oppressed "monsterkind" against human imperialists? That's... a lot of spinning, and surprisingly black-and-white for something that's supposed to be morally ambiguous.
Well, the no cheat option has some pretty cool flavor text, but it also implies some sort of hidden bonus for doing things fair and square, which appeals to SV's Mystery Box fetish.

That's certainly how she sees things, yes. She's the Elf Equivalent of an 20 something angry rebellious college grad. Listen, Shadowmoor is a great place to be, if you're not a human being. It's also the only place they're allowed to be, Technically. The City State of Shadowmoor is a Vassal to The Greater Confederation of Kingdoms aka The Kingdoms of Light, which arose roughly 800 years ago after a Hero King (Who might have been an insert themselves??) defeated a Dark Lord. All the Forces that surrendered to this King, be they Goblinoid, Orc, Drow, Teifling, Changeling, or Vampire, were sent to Shadowmoor. It's essentially a Reservation. It has it's own laws, and even its own government, but it's one that's Ultimately subservient to The GCK. As such, tax and trade favors the GCK far more then Shadowmoor, it's people getting less while the GCK gets more. Our Drow is a part of Rebel Subgroup that wants to Over-Throw the Standing Government and replace it with something that has teeth, perhaps even taking back land that by all rights, belongs to the peoples of Shadowmoor.
That's fair, I guess, but I stopped being into that kind of role reversal thing when I got old enough to drink alcohol legally. Blame people repeatedly mistaking moral complexity for moral righteousness and trying to turn interesting villains into even more misunderstood woobies, all the while acting like it's never been done before.
(Not that that's true of your premise, which actually seems like it could go to interesting places, but I've just seen it done too much and too badly to have much fun with it for its own sake.)

(...) Huh. Alright, I'll give you that sounds a lot more interesting than "maligned monsters against human imperialists", but if you had that much pertinent background information in mind, why didn't you put it somewhere in your post rather than waiting for someone to ask something tangentially related? The idea that Amenafora was part of a rebel group or that Shadowmoor was an official vassal of the Kingdoms of Light did not come across at all to me, and the backstory there has enough unrelated detail that I doubt the QM would have made anything resembling that if left to their own devices. I certainly wouldn't have!

Good thinking. I would have recommended that if you had simply added it in by itself, since I know quite well that the eyes tend to glaze over long paragraphs-- which is pretty hypocritical given how long-winded I can get sometimes.
Tbh, the character/premise intrigues me enough that I might have considered switching if the protagonist were female and could have my custom cheat tacked on, but I don't think the backstory would work as well with a female character and definitely doesn't work as well with Adventurer's Conjuration (even if literally being an RPG protagonist murder hobo would be incredibly amusing). Best of luck to you, anyway.
The Shining Maiden plan has a problem... and that is no appereance for the character, which is a problem because Reincarnation specifically mentions the need of an appereance for the reincarnated form of the character that we're going to play as:
Appearance - description or picture. If you're choosing "Reincarnation," including the post-reincarnation appearance is mandatory and the pre-reincarnation appearance is optional.
