What first got you into the furry fandom?
What’s your fursona(s)?
Why did you choose that fursona(s)?

I’ll go first!
When I was in middle school, I found vampire books which led me to werewolf books. I loved the idea of humans transforming into werewolves and later other animals. One book, “Blood and Chocolate” by Annette Curtis Klause really captured me. Later on in the book, the main girl gets stuck between her human and werewolf form and I was so fascinated by it. I’m sure I googled something or another and eventually found furries. And then I found a group at my school who also really encouraged it and I was in. Later, I joined a lot of meets during what I would consider the “golden era” of Tucson meets. I found it to be a really exciting way to explore ones identity in a cute and exciting way. I’ve been a part of the fandom since 2012, on and off. 


My fursona is Zinkari the hybrid mule deer and Gelos the bunny!

Zinkari: She was originally a wolf that slowly shifted to be more deer over the years. I wanted a character that was both a representation of my weaker and more powerful side in how I handle life. And then I grew her as a deer to be the blending of both! There is strength and beauty in prey creatures. 

Gelos: She’s a pink and white bunny. She’s my fun and carefree side. She laughs and dances, is playful and cheerful and tries to be as loving as possible. She has feelings just like everyone else.
