(from a hairstyle popular with the people described, usage invented by Kaecyy in 2005) A generally amiable but hopelessly nerdy person-- not necessarily possessing an actual ponytail or even long hair-- who is usually immersed in a combination of science fiction and fantasy literature (and their derivatives), roleplaying games (often in their live action varieties), the gothic-industrial subculture, and/or the historical reenactment of pre-industrial periods of European history (often at what are called "Renaissance fairs")-- among other influences-- to or nearly to the point of lifestyle.
