I'm Jazz! I am a young adult, and I've been obsessed with anthros for as long as I can remember. When I found the furry community, I found my best friends, and a place to feel like myself; artistic, autistic, animalistic. I'm somewhere in between whats known as "boy" or "girl" presentation-wise, and my fursona and I use they/them. My special interest is anthropomorphism; the good of it, such as furries and , and the bad, such as how it may get in the way of animal research and understanding. I love to draw as just a hobby. I have been teaching it to myself obsessively from my toddler to teenage years. Now in my 20s, my life is a bit more busy seeing as I am a fulltime student, but I still adore art and furry, forever and ever.

another big aspect of my life is rave culture. i am enraptured by rave atmospheres and EDM. i love that raves are places where i can dress, dance, and be who i want, regardless of my orientation and financial situation. I am shy, so i do quite enjoy being an infinitesmal part of a lurching neon superorganism, safely disconnecting myself when i want without any baggage. a kandi kid at heart, I love to create and trade kandi and indulge in activities that nourish a colorful and youthful spirit, no matter where I am chronologically. i think prioritizing "wealth" (economic, cultural, social) puts a dampen on the rave spirit. i like the consumables offered at raves that may enhance the mind, but i dont always need them to feel elevated. EDM will get me there as is!

I am a therian of a pink hairless cat, and a creme barred lahore pigeon (imagine a sphynx with pigeon wings!). I'm also a purple kitty-shaped carbuncle theriomythic. I am fictionkin, and the list slowly expands; just know Jun Kurosu/Joker (Persona 2) and Espeon are the strongest, most 'literal' ones ever. I am otherhearted/kith with sparkledogs and sparklecats. Overall, I'm a plucky, finicky, shy, sensitive, but ultimately domesticated, upbeat, and warm creature.
Otherkin stuff isn't really "just for fun" in my life; rather, it is a spiritual way to process the extreme disconnect from intra-dimensional humans I've felt while growing up, and, more presently, interest in re-incarnation, even from the world of fiction. That being said, "doubles" are a concern I've never had...there are so many animals in a particular species, and so many brains and therefore offshoots of a past life, so everyone is a "double"-- no, a quadruple...

Other fun(?) facts about me:
I love seafood and (moderately) spicy food!! My ultimate favorite food is probably sushi, especially rolls with shrimp tempura and/or spicy salmon (e.g. sexy girl roll). I also love most veg/seafood curries, hummus & baba ganoush, and for dessert I will have anything with marzipan♡.
I eat a predominantly pescetarian diet due to personal taste entirely.
I've worked with many types of animals for years, and i love nature and anyone who also strongly loves nature is my ally. I've done both domestic and wildlife rehab (non-veterinary), as well as an animal care technician and educator. I am very interested in ornithology in particular and have taken a few higher education level courses on the subject, even if its not my main career. I am an animal-welfare advocate, and I am generally opposed to the theory of animal rights activism (ARA) and ethical/militant veganism.
I am visually impaired enough to require a cane when going out; I was born blind, and have lens implants. The gift of sight is one of the most special I have ever been given...seeing as I am a visual artist now.
I have a fursona! This isn't the only one, though, just my main one.
