“I’m part of the furry community. I just happen to be one of the really hyper-realistic ones. It’s a s*xual identity thing for some people. I understand that crowd, and respect them, but I’m actually as*xual. So for me s*x doesn’t play into it at all. In my elementary-school art class everyone would be drawing still lifes, or fruits, or whatever. I’d go online to DeviantArt and get inspired by these beautiful illustrations of multi-colored wolves and foxes. I’ve wanted a fur suit for the longest time. So when I saw this head on Twitter, I was like: ‘Wow, I have to have it.’ It’s just a form of self- expression. Not to get too religious about it; but animals are God’s creations just as much as humans. Every time I see an animal I’m like: ‘Wow, they fit so perfectly into the environment and ecosystem.’ They’re so liberated and free. Being a human is tricky; people expect you to be one thing. They want you to act a certain way. There’s norms and expectations. But with animals, they just do whatever. I've always loved the imagery of a deer running through the forest. It’s about adopting that alter ego. But I’m also a girl under here, so I’m studying for the LSATs.”
