Are you and your fursona similar in any ways? (As in, are her looks/personality based off yours at all?)

I don't take the whole fursona thing too seriously. Ever and I are exactly the same, but being in suit allows me to get away with all those mascot-y motions (wavy hands, exaggerated excitement and bouncing) that you can't pull off as a person. I respect other people for their suit/character being a special extension of themselves but I don't rely on the fandom (or my suit) in that way :)

How did you manage to convince the stuffed suits and lawyers to name their merged electric power company after you? I mean, you can deploy weapons grade cute, but they are notoriously resistant. Www.eversource.com

Now, every time I pay my electric bill, I'm thinking of you.

my entire life is a pun

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Better job, finally meeting carrie fisher, living on my own, having another cat or 3.

Excellent plans! :D

OH man, one of my mom's friends (who is also an artist and has been doing really well with nerdy paintings lately),
LOVES Carrie Fisher and has met her so many times. He goes to like all of her talks and stuff ;w; She recently painted
his nails for him with glitter, it was beautiful. She seems like a really awesome person irl! (sorry, this seemed relevant?)

Everything about Carrie fisher is relevant!!!!

What got you into the fandom? And what made you want to suit/get a suit?

I've always been furry-minded. Cartoons, books, movies etc. I started attending conventions (and I attend a LOT). I ended up at anthrocon in 2011 and loved it. I finally got to interact with suiters and see what its all about. I love costumes and this was a whole new king of dress up! I came home and over the next few months designed Ever and began submitting her for creation. AF was the only person who wanted to make little mouse me, and the rest is history!

That's awesome! :D

who is your partner in crime at a fur con?

me next question

uh what -_-.....

Haha! Alec is one of the best con buddies to have, that's for sure.

But I travel and room with the same person always. And that is my best friend (who is only semi fur oriented) we have been friends for 20 years.

Whoops!

Messed that up. Forgot the hyphen >.>

Did you ever have a deer character???

^ also curious haha

Answered below!

Deer are one of my favorite animals! Ironically mice are like fourth. Even though I love them of course. The handle I have on FA is just two words I liked the sound of ever and deer. I use this handle on a lot of social media. And when I was creating Ever I was coming up blank on names. And then it dawned on me to use what I already had. So Ever was named.

I do have a deer character but she doesn't exist on paper yet and her name is Blaire.

ahhh that's so cool c:

Would you ever hangout with new fur friends/ppl? And take the time to get to know them? :)

I am never opposed to meeting new people but I am SUPER busy/social and have my hand in about a million fandoms. I love the people in my life but don't want my full schedule to deter anyone or think I don't like them enough to make time for them.

Its a balancing act for this mouse.

Where do you work?
Are you studying something?

Not studying anymore, though I miss it. I graduated in 2011 (Graphic Design) and I do marketing for a publishing company out of DC.

Do you like it?
And pros/cons in Fursuiting (in your opinion)? Doesn't it get extremely hot in there? And how do you cool off? What methods do you use?

Its ok. The pay and stability and benefits are top notch. And I work with great people but the work itself is a little boring at times. I am over-qualified for it.

I don't sweat. I have never had any problems and the only methods I use are taking breaks and pulling the head off every couple of hours and drinking water. I can go for 6-10 hours in suit. My feet start hurting before anything else (too hot/too tired) starts happening. I wouldn't say there are cons to suiting but just cons to the elitist mentality of suiters and makers. I have 0 time for that kind of shit and they all know it lol. Sucking up is not on my resume.

How do you clean and store your fursuit? Methods on keeping it nice and fresh?

i saw your list of cons you will be going to and wow. lucky and nekoCon. my friend and i where thinking about maybe going there next year in 2016.

what's it like there? are they nice to furies? some anime cons can not be so welcoming to furies. i have been to one before and the many looks i got made me feel like i wanted to go home.

so yeah i like to ask others before going to a con that isn't a furry one.

I suit at Katsucon and Otakon and it is fun. This is my first time at Nekcon so I cant say.

Anime cons are much better than comic-cons when it comes to suiting. I wont ever suit at a comic con again.

ah oh ok. well have fun. and after you go maybe you can tell me how it was. the only anime con i ever been to is anime central. so far that is the only furry friendly con. then i went to a new anime con called collision con. the many stink eyes i got there made me take off my fur suit and feel low. i will never go back there again. they were not friendly cosplayers at all.

comic cons. the only comic con i ever went to was C2E2. they where ok. at least they said hi to me then the stink eye.

I may or may not be suiting at Neko -- just depends. Also you really shouldn't give a shit if people look at you funny. I mean. I got loads of looks at the comic con and people didn't interact with me and that's why I won't do it again. NOT because I let people make me feel bad. It's less fun when people give you a wide birth but I don't necessarily feel offended when people do. Fuck 'em

oh ok then you have a touch skin and brave me not so much i'm a softy. but thank you for the helpful tip Ms. mouse. meow your so nice.

you're welcome!

If I didnt have a tough skin I wouldn't be able to be myself, just remember YOU are always enough.

oh ok thanks.
