INDRODUCTIONS:


What name(s) do you go by?
My biological name is Tessa and most family calls me that. It is often refereed to as my chick name, well my guy name is Weylin (Well-in). I prefer Weylin being used as my name more than Tessa for many reasons.

What is the significance behind your name(s)?
Tessa, is the name my parents give me and the only part of my name I don't dislike.
Weylin has a meaning to it, it means son of wolf and is a Celtic name. I was looking up Celtic baby names for a character and blindly came to the W's and saw it. I liked the name and the meaning and my mom is closely related to a wolf in human aspects and her spirit guide also happens to be a wolf. So, all in all, my mom is symbolized with a wolf. How ever, it stuck more so because of my therio-type, who happens to be an extinct type of wolf. The Cascade Mountain wolf. I also closely relate to my Celtic roots and am a Norsemen with a mix of Christianity in me, only for the fact I believe in the angels instead of their god.

What type of 'kin are you?
I have two souls/"kin" in me. I am still in need of more self knowledge to figure out my other being in me, but I know of the fact I have a Cascade Mountain wolf in me.

How long have you known you were Therian/Otherkin?
I have known for a long time. I have always felt more animal than human. It was not till about 6th or 7th grade that I was aware of the fact I was different than most people on that aspect of humanity. Long story short, it plays in with the fact I don't see my self as a human, but a being trapped in a human body and how I have a natural strong dislike for humans, but I am to fascinated by people and tend to claim people as my people. Thus means I get jealous of other people easily when I feel like outsiders are taking my people away from me.

List some things you LIKE:
BELLY RUBS! Symbols, cottage cheese (It's a treat for me, due to being lactose-intolerant), my mate(s), my people I view as pack or are in my pack, sweets, being outside, chasing after my sisters huge dog, Drago, rough housing with me dogs, drawing, reading, Supernatural, rping, my fandoms, rain.

List some things you DISLIKE:
Bad smells, spices/spicy food, being around to many people, being left alone/feeling I have been abandoned, when I am at school and it is raining out, loud places, being forced to do things, putting stuff on my sunburns.

What are your favorite hobbies / pastimes?
Drawing, reading, sleeping, being with my people or mate(s), seeing people that I have not seen for a really long time.

Favorite color(s):
Blue, black, green, white, and rainbow. Yellow has to be with something and pink when it is in my hair.

Favorite food(s):
cottage cheese, chocolate, chocolate milk, nutty bars, oreo's, bacon cheeseburgers, BLT's, medium-rare stake, hamburger-stake.

THE DETAILS:


Do you ever have dreams and/or meditate to discover things about who and what you may be?
Yes. I had dreamed once about my wolf... But, that is how I found out he is more wild and hard to tame/get along with humans and I shouldn't shift into a wolf mindset when I am upset. The dream is a dream I would prefer to forget. As for meditation, I do it a lot. I have picked up somethings on how to get answers with out meditating as well, but you have to ask your self yes or no answers.

What are some of the most interesting discoveries you've made about yourself and who/what you are?
*I have two beings in my body, not including me.
*I have an extinct wolf therio-type
*Even due to being a wolf, when I get happy and everything I turn into a domestic pup.
*I love belly rubs and being pet
*I have a love hate relationship with my wolf
*I am spiritual a male, so I just easily label myself as a gender fluid person.
*I am pan-sexual and I'll stop my list there.

Do you 'shift' at all? (If so, please explain what it's like.)
I can more or less control them. I know when and where I can shift, but my mate(s) and close ones make it easy for me to shift in a drop of a hat. When I am hyper or easily excited I act like a pup and bounce about. I have kept my self from barking back at people or things (big step), I also try not to growl at people.

Do your family and/or friends know?
I have a quite a few friends who are, just not family.

How did people react when (if) you've told them?
They are okay with it and tend to nickname me puppy after it.

Do you ever exhibit non-human behaviors? (If so, please give some examples.)
Barking, growling, howling, yipping, getting territoriality in a drop of a hat (maybe that is human?), I wag my foot when my tail wags. I feel phantom ears, tail and wings, as well my nails growing into claws and my canine teeth growing longer. I know it is impossible to psychically shift, but I get those feelings.

PERSONAL LIFE:


Do you have a pack, 'kin family, etc.?
Yes, I have my pack of three, which I feel silly for saying but, it is both of my mates and I am trying to find more kin willing to join in my area. I happen to be the beta.

Is anyone else in your family Therian/Otherkin?
Nope

Do you have a mate?
I have two

Do you have a Soul Mate?
I have two, one I yearn for and one I am dating right now.

What usually happens and what are you like around your pack or mate(s)?
I get very cuddly and turn into a puppy around them, I am also likely to nip them and make them wear things like bracelets and things they are willing to wear as a way of showing people they are mine. I am also willing to randomly kiss my mate(s) to show this in front of strangers and people not know who I am with.

OPINIONS:


What are your views on Otherkin/Therians in human society? How do you think they should act?
How ever they wish that makes them happy with out it harming others. But, if someone tells you not to wear your kin gear (tails, collars, ect.), they should know that it is because there could be rules at a place about it and should calm down. Now if they are not a domestic animal or have really no reason to wear a collar, than that is just silly. I wear a collar to show that I am trapped in this world about personal reasons. I wear my tail when I need to be reminded of who I am and to not lose myself in lies again. If I am told to not wear these things at a place, than I take them off.

Therians are often mistaken or called furries. How do you feel about this?
I am a furry, so I have no problems against it. If anything, I use it as away around telling people I don't want knowing I am a therian. I also was originally in the fandom and some how came to hearing of therianthropy and my ex at the time showed me this video documentary about theirains.

Any tips or comments for others?
They world my seem dark and gloomy, but you are someones everything. With every bad, there is a good thing that should happen soon.

This was a joy to read, honestly. I really like how open-minded and confident you are in yourself while also being mature. I love that you said you're fine with not wearing a tail if it's against the rules and that it shouldn't be something people throw a fit over if they're asked to take it off. So many people I've meet lately have been so obsessed with things like tails and colors as a form of their identity and a way f expressing themselves that they forget that the bottom line is that we should be comfortable and confident in who we are - and we shouldn't need fashion accessories to do that!

Thank you so much for filling this out. ♥
