Cristonette Bernaldez, also known as the "Gemini Queen," was born in the city of Florida, Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. She is 23 years old and is currently studying at Caraga State University Cabadbaran City, taking up BSINDTECH-ADT.

She has been a reader since she was a child, from elementary school up to the present time, and she is also a writer of stories and poems since Junior High. However, she only started joining writing contests during the pandemic on May 24, 2021, which also happened to be her 20th birthday. She participated in a competition on the Tulang Lang page in the one-shot poem writing 6th activity and ranked fourth with the title "Online". She joined the competition when she was invited by her high school classmate.

She did not expect that this would be the start of her life as a writer and poet in any field. Her roles include being a judge, facilitator, admin, editor, and participant. Her motto is:"Write to express, not to impress."
