'''Naia Ōkami''' (born 1994) is a British Columbia wolf and red fox [[therianthrope]]. They are the founder and current administrator of [[Kinmunity]].

==History==
From a young age, Naia felt that they were "not human" on the inside. After watching the anime series Wolf's Rain at age twelve, they gained a fascination with wolves and as they read more about them and began to understand them, they began feeling as if they were "a wolf in a human body".

Naia first entered the online therian community through the now-defunct [[WereNet]]. They "didn't find werelist members to be the friendliest bunch" and ended up migrating to [[Werelist]] where they eventually became a docent staff member. In October of 2011, Naia founded the [[Wulf Howl]] otherkin community. Naia founded [[Kinmunity]] in December of 2014.
