Now for a written introduction. 8D
I've been a furry for about a year and a half, or somewhere along those lines. I joined the fandom because I developed a love for anthro artwork. I saw the costumes, the badges, the conventions, all the fun that this strange, cuddly group shared with others. All the fursuiters that made little kids giggle and grin, all the adorable critters...and I'll admit, even some of the yiff I had come across was cute. (Don't give me that face, I bet you looked at the yiff when you became a fur, too!
) I noticed a sense of belonging in the fandom, as though it was inviting me. Like I really did belong in this community.
So I made the decision: I would join the fandom. I already had a fursona, but she wasn't anthropomorphic. I jumped from a grey and green wolf named Rent, to a grey and green fennec fox named Rent, to a black and green fennec fox named Toxik. When I entered the furry community, I created Tox as my 'sona. I wanted a fresh start as an artist, and a fresh character that still retained some nostalgic essence of my previous fursonas. I chose a fennec fox because a friend of mine had shown me the species and I instantly fell in love with them.
Fennec foxes are small, tan desert foxes with ridiculously large ears. Many people keep them as pets/companions, and these little fluffballs seem rather happy around humans when taken care of properly. This species, on the endangerment scale, is under "least concern" and they're incredibly expensive to own, so at least there's no abuse or endangerment risk. In fact, I have decided someday I might attempt to own a fennec when I have the space and funds to care for it properly. They DO eat live prey, such as goldfish or mice, but I don't wanna hear any "Live feeding is cruel!" comments. Furs respect nature, right? Well, I'm respecting nature by giving my Fen a chance to display the hunting instinct. He'd hunt in the wild, so he'll hunt in the home as well.
Back on topic, I'm a New York resident, living in Albany (the state's capital!). I can't say I like it here, and I intend to move to Pittsburgh, PA with a close friend and con-buddy of mine, who I will pester to join the forum when she's online. xP She and I intend to attend the Art Institute of Pittsburgh once we get the hell outta high school. (Her sooner than myself, but her family suggested a year's break before AI) I chose PA because she and I have developed a sisterly bond, and let's face it: Our friendship is tighter than Dane Cook's pants. Our parents are practically bffs, as well. Additionally, we all know of a famous furry convention located smack dab in the city of Pittsburgh! I also have fallen for the charming city, it's just gorgeous.
There isn't much else about me, so I'll just leave it at that. ^^ Glad to be here and I'm looking forward to meeting some really awesome people! Any AC attendees this year? Additionally, I own a fursuit made by Tunnysaysidk, here's her picture of it. Feel free to tackle me if you see me

They're like $6 if you're interested in one, and they all connect into one big endless wave! Go to #AwesomeWaves on DA if you want one ^^)
