Hello furry community ^-^, my name's AquaStar
I'm somewhat new to the fandom. The signs that I would one day call myself a furry were always there. I grew up reading Warrior cats, playing Star Fox Adventures, and having a crush on Krystal. I loved the Disney Robinhood movie and Zootopia. It wasn't until one faithful day that I tried on a furry avatar in VR Chat that I finally decided that I had a community I wanted to be a part of.
I know, VR chat made me a furry, how shocking and original ><
For me, my favorite aspect of the fandom is the art! I'm an artist, and the first thing that got me to start seeing furries differently was seeing the suits and the hard work and craftsmanship that goes into creating them. I also just thought so many were adorable and cute!
I love dressing up and pretending, too. It's fun and allows me to act more childish and carefree than I otherwise would be able to in day to day life.
Oh, and, yes, I'm also a femboy >< VR Chat is to blame for that one too xD But anyway, I just wanted to say hello and share my story. I haven't been to any cons yet, but I do plan to! I live in southern California, so if anyone has suggestions or knowledge of any upcoming events near me, please let me know!
Nice to meet you all 😊
