"Here I store what came before
Legends and myths from days of yore.
Before or after, tears or laughter
After comes before, before comes after.
Past and future, and then, hereafter.
The mighty and the meek, the young and the old
Their stories start here, their tales unfold.
Here imagination leaves these pages
Written in ink for all the ages.
Someday... your story may be here, too..."

If you took a giant bowl, and tossed in a Chinese phoenix (Fenghuang), a Japanese guardian doggo (Fooooooo!), and a Korean dragon (Yong), you'd end up with a very full, and squirming, scaley, feather-y bowl. But if it was all tossed in just -genetically- instead, then what slithered/crawled/flailed out just might resemble Paws. She's a thirty-five-foot-long monster (ahem, usually!) resembling an exotic gryphon with features from all those creatures battling for dominance over the metaphorical bowl that you just placed out.

Finally, this beast is not biological, but instead a stupendously well crafted 35-foot-long *toy* version of itself (well, *usually* 35 feet!). While she is probably classified as a monster by most she meets, she is entirely disinclined to everything resembling violence and would never hurt a fly. or even an icky spider. But she would not handle one without an oven mitt at least.

When viewed by children she will appear to be a huge, friendly living plush toy that loves to read stories and generally has harmless fun with practically anyone that will accept her company. To those that are *tragically* more mature, she'll either appear to be a much more boring living self, or an inanimate plush version to those that would not believe in her existence otherwise. ;)

Mostly, she just reads books all the time and talks to birds. Most birds don't talk back to her. Or at the least, she doesn't speak bird.

She's a voracious reader and likes to collect sci-fi and fantasy novels by the binload. Kindle is the best magic that humans have ever invented, as far as she's concerned! SO MANY BOOKS on this little magic square thing!

I'm terrible at social situations. How do I friends? Will get back to you on that. I tend to constantly brush people the wrong way and ruin friendships by opening my mouth too often, and quickly becoming unwelcome everywhere. Yay, I have a super power. :P

Fluffy member of ye old  Gryphons-Of-FA

I like playing and modding stuff (especially birds and gryphons) in Second Life, for the most part... and I generally do a lot of writing. D:

Note: I stopped drawing around 2005 due to nerve problems. -Most- art here is commissioned from other artists. Please take notes where applicable and give compliments when due to the original artists. They deserve it! :)

(Any instances of 'Psyra' showing up here are purely archival in nature, I have dropped the moniker since 2005 or so but am stuck with the name in certain situations due to inability to have these old names changed, usually regarding various gaming accounts - Steam, I'm looking at you.)

Please don't just toss friend requests at me on Discord or such without talking to me for a bit first, there's enough potential scams and what not else out there and if I see friend requests that have no servers in common with me, or there ARE some in common but you've never posted anything to them, then I'm going to assume they're a potential scammer and ignore. Nothing personal! ;)
