How did you discover fursuits/Fursuiting?
I think it was back in 2009/2010 when I first got into the fandom. I saw people wearing these really cool mascot type costumes and thought it was really cute and fun. I remember seeing some fursuiters at Anime Expo those years and thought they were really cool and cute with the way they acted in suit. It looked like a lot of fun. It wasn’t until the following years Anime Expo that I started befriending fursuiters when I attended the gathering that year. Then at school that fall I made friends with
and
at the Halloween event. We were all in suit then. :3
What made you decide to get/make a suit of your own?
Pretty much it was seeing everyone having fun acting as their character during AX 11 that made me want to make my own. And so I did in August of that year, and I’ve been making suits since. :3
Did you make your suit or buy it? If bought, who made it?
I made all my suits. And a few for others. I am open for commissions if you’re interested. :3
I started building in August 2011, and even though that one was a disaster, it was still fun bringing Allen to life. He’s gone through 2 other forms and I think he’s done evolving now. XD Shadra, my dragon sona was next in Janurary 2012, followed by Allen’s 2nd revamp in March,
’s suit Hani in April. Then in 2013 I made my first ponies Tailor and Jazzy for Equestria LA that year, Iris for
as a part of a trade, Zero for a friend, Eren in February of this year and finally Allen’s 3rd revamp and the fullsuit for Shadra in May and June of this year. Yup, a lot has happened over the last 3 years. :D
Why did you choose this maker if bought?
Oh ya know, she’s new so I wanted to give her a chance. XD
If you could have anyone make your next version, who would it be?
Gee IDK. Maybe More Fur Less cuz I’d love for them to make my doggies who passed. I really loved their angel fursuits they created of their deceased pets, and it made me want to have one too. :3
Best suiting experience:
Wondercon 2012: The debut of Allen 2.0 and Shadra. I made a lot of people and kids happy. Also Hani joined in on the fun then as it was also her debut. :3
Califur 2012: My first time at a fur con. I had a great time making new friends and seeing old ones. Also got to join in on the suiting madness. :3
Equestria LA 2013: Tailors Debt. I got a lot of compliments on my suit, even though I did get mistaken for Nightmare Moon and Princess Luna a lot. XD
Anime Expo 2014: I had a lot of fun with
as my handler for Eren. It was the best cuz she was Levi with me and she was my owner for the day, keeping me in line, tugging on my leash when I got out of control when I saw a titan. LOL it was just hilarious and I really got a chance to be in character then, since I make Eren on the more wild side compared to my other fursuit characters. XD
Anime California 2014: I got to really enjoy being in the Allen suit at this con. It was much cooler than at Anime Expo which was his debut con. So I didn’t need to get out of it as often. Just when I went to pee, took a break at the consweet, and went to dinner. And the con goers and Hotel attendees really loved him and his squeaky paw. :3
Worst suiting experience:
Anime Expo 2014. It was SSSSOOOOO HHHHHOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!!!! I couldn’t stay in my suits as long as I wanted, even with the fan I built for my heads it was still way too hot for me to stay in them. D: But that’s really all. I haven’t had a bad experience with fur haters yet. Knock on wood that I never do.
Describe your first suiting outing:
LA Furs meet 2012. It was my first fur meet and I had a lot of fun, even though I was pretty shy. But I still had a great time with the other suiters, and made some new friends there. Got to participate in photo ops in suit for the first time too, and watch people stare at us like we were awesome and cute, cuz we are. :3
What is your favorite part of your suit (a detail that's special, or something you feel was executed perfectly)?
Allen: His interchangeable eye piece for his left eye. I can take it out whenever I don’t want to have the Akuma detection eye. Also his squeaky paw cuz everyone loves that, and the fact that he has markings making him look lke the anime character I based him off of. I’m really happy when people notice that. :D
Eren: His angry expression. Even though he looks pissed off all the time (and he kinda is) he’s still approachable and some people understand that he’s Eren Jeager in Sheppy form, when I have the Survey Corp uniform on. :3
Uva: Her squeaky ears and sparkly hair. It works so well with her character, being a raver and all. :3
Tailor: her pretty eyes and the fact she is a pony. A little rare to see a suit of, but they’re still around.
Shadra: Her wings. Well the ones that I will make in the future. But her Wyvern wings are cool and come off of the suit so I can change her species whenever I want. :3
What would you change about your suit if you could?
They’re all so beautiful as it is. :3 I’m just going to make feathery purple wings for Shadra cuz I’m changing her species to Ampithere dragon.
How long did it take to save up for your suit -or- how long did it take you to make your suit?
Allen: 3 weeks
Shadra: 2 weeks
Uva: Not made by me. (but Iris took about a few months cuz I got lazy. XD)
Tailor: 1 week
Eren: 1 week
What does fursuiting mean to you?/why do you fursuit?
Pretty much the same as cosplay. It’s my chance to act like myself. I’m in an environment where I feel like I no longer have to be shy and reserved and let loose my inner crazy, social person. I tend to be more friendly in suit, and approach others easier than out of suit. I just feel like I can really be me. :3
If you had to choose a maker from an opposing style to make a version of your suit in their style, who would you choose (Between toony and realistic)?
Hmm….realistic versions of my suits…….it doesn’t really fit any of them. Not even Shadra cuz of the make up and long mane. Definitely doesn’t fit Allen, Eren and Tailor cuz they’re based on animated characters and styles, nor Uva cuz of her fun and crazy personality. IDK realism isn’t really my thing.
Do you prefer suiting at cons or at public events/places?
I love suiting at both. More so fur cons cuz of the fursuit lounge so I can cool off without ruining the magic. But then again, that didn’t really matter to me too much in the first place.
Do you prefer suiting indoors or outside?
both but outside has to be cool like autumn and winter, and early spring.
Do you talk in suit? Why or why not:
Yes I do.
In Allen it’s a deep but cute voice. So I sound like a boy but with a nice voice.
In Eren, a deep and angry voice. Cuz he’s the angry German Shepherd after all. XD
Shadra: I use my own voice. She’s more based on the real me after all.
Tailor: Same as Shadra
Uva: cute and hyper feminine voice.
Is your suit your fursona a representation of you or just a character to play?
Shadra and Tailor are more like the real me. Allen is cute and cuddly, Uva is cute and hyper, and Eren is pretty much ready to pick a fight with someone. XD
How do you like to perform in your suit? What character do you give it?
Shadra and Tailor: Just something natural for me. Friendly and welcoming. Also prettyful. :3
Allen: Kawaii. :3 I like acting like my dogs so I’m kind, playful, and I like giving out high fives and having people shake my paw. :3
Uva: Hyper and bouncy.
Eren: Kinda cold, disobedient to my owner (Yume as Levi), and just going crazy when I see a titan walking around. I want to pick a fight with the titans. D:<
Did your character’s personality change at all after getting a fursuit?
Nope. :3
