Hey~

My current icon is made by Nijipie on Fur Affinity.net.

About me:
I'm a currently 21 year old young woman living in Northern Virginia. My fursona character is a Mightyena (with slightly altered features) named Kura(pronounced cure-a). She has both that of an anthromorphic and quadrupedal form.

For many years I would draw very frequently,but in the past year or so I haven't been doing that so often. The main reason for that is I just don't have much inspiration.

I mostly draw canine like creatures but I do draw other things from time to time as well. I can't draw humans at all so you will never see anything relating to them in my galleries. Sorry ^^;

I will also occasionally upload photos of places I've been in my gallery here,such as national parks and wildlife refuges.

I am currently in an online/long-distance relationship of quite a few years now, so I am not looking for anything romantic from anyone. However, I do like to make new friends from time so feel free to say hi of you would like!

I love animals and pokemon,these are probably the two things that provide me with the most happiness in life. As a hobby I collect plushies and pokemon merchandise as well. :3

I got the idea for this from Rico!

What's your real name?
Rachel

How tall are you?
5'6, possibly 5'7. I haven't been measured in years so can't say for sure.

What's your natural hair color?
Brown

What's your eye color?
Blue

What's your orientation?
Mostly straight I guess but I could be described as bi-curious.

Are you single, taken or undecided?
Taken in an online/long distance relationship of 4+ years. Hoping it can be IRL too soon. <3 He means a ton to me even if we can't talk that much at times.

What do you do in your spare time?
Playing video games,browsing/chatting online, reading manga, spending time with pets,cuddling with plushies & collecting! I do draw as well but not as much as I once did.

What's your job or occupation?
Um...

What do you like about yourself?
I don't really like myself so I dunno! XD

What do you dislike about yourself?
My appearance/weight, my inability to forget the negative things in life and my shyness.

What did your friends notice about you when they first met you?
Depends on who you ask I guess, I've been told I notice things that others don't if that counts?

What is your belief/religion if you believe in anything at all?
I was raised Catholic but I don't agree with some of the things they teach upon thinking about it so I guess I don't count as a true one. I'm Christian in the sense that I believe in god but church and that sort of stuff provides me with no comfort following the death of my father. I still pray informally but other than that religion doesn't play into my life that much anymore.

I do stress about afterlife related things at times but I figure its best not to worry about it too much. I believe we all have souls,not just humans.

Do you drink?
I'm not of drinking age so this limits what I can do with that sort of thing, I've tasted a few things here and there.

Do you smoke?
No, never tried it either.

What are your major fears?
Death, dying alone and loosing everything due to running out of money or other issues. (Man aren't I cheery?X3)

Do you have any dreams or goals?
I guess my biggest one is that I want to have a life with my boyfriend,Brian. Other than that I want to have my own home and get a job that I actually enjoy. I always wanted to do something with art or animals,so i'm hoping one day I can achieve a career in one of those.

I also have a goal of being a vegetarian as I care very much for animals and don't want to contribute to their death or suffering.

Have you ever had a crush or an ex?
Yeah, I have.

Who's your best buddy?
Rico and canilupine are my dearest friends. <3 They have both been very supportive to me through the years even if there have been times when we didn't agree on everything. I am thankful to have them both in my life and I hope I can see them both in person someday.

What's your favorite dish?
I love sticky rice and certain forms of tofu. I like chicken,haha. I happen to enjoy Salmon as well. :3

What's your favorite drink?
Dr.Pepper, Red Bull,Sprite, Water and stuff? I like those Mio add in flavor things too. I enjoy iced tea as well as herbal tea. Coffee is nice every now and then but not black.

What's your favorite color?
If I had to pick one,Blue. I also like black,silver and neon colors.

If you had a super power, what would it be?
Invisibility or Mind Reading? Teleporting would be really useful!

What's your favorite movie?
Princess Mononoke, Sweeney Todd, Pan's Labyrinth & How to Train your Dragon

What's your least favorite food?
Anything Spicy/Hot, raw tomatoes or mushrooms in general. I am not that fond of Mexican cuisine as a whole. I refuse to eat raw or near raw meat ( no rare steaks for me,haha).

What's the last meal you want before you die?
I'd have to think about,too complicated for me right now. XD

What do you drive and what would you really like to drive?
I currently own a 2005 Honda Civic LX, which I am very happy to have gotten. My dream car is a newer Infiniti G35/G37 or one of their M series models.

What is your most disliked bug?
House centipedes. Those things run fast. <.< Wolf Spiders are kind of intimidating as well.

What pet peeves do you dislike the most?
People who leave their starbucks cups in the aisles of stores, bratty kids, and those sort of people that can NEVER put their cell phones down to save their life.

It bothers me when people never recycle either,that does add up overtime you know!

What do you dislike in life?
How people think it's okay to be hateful or super judgy just because they have a different view or opinion than your own.

How quite a few people treat animals like they mean nothing- that they are only here to be dinner or to serve us.

I can't stand those people that say shit like " for every burger you don't eat i'll eat ten more". Wtf is wrong with you people? It's not funny to say things like that.

I am not comfortable with recreational hunting and view it as wrong. And no, not just with the "cute" ones. It's wrong to kill for pleasure. If you have to hunt to eat because you are lost in the woods or something then fine but don't do it for fun.

I don't like people who think the environment doesn't matter, it does.

I also get real tired of people who treat people as lesser based on gender or race. It still happens even in modern times, I hope it can continue to get better.

One last thing: its not "cool" to be uncaring and assholeish just for the sake of being that way. I don't know why people think that,even on the internet.

In general,let's treat everyone better- both humans,animals and the earth itself. We only have one life so why waste it by causing more harm than good?
