Kai (born 1990) is a therian and furry from Western Michigan. She is a staff member on the Therian Discovery Forums, and freelance professional artist.
Entrance into the Community
Kai first discovered the therian community in 2005 after a close friend of hers came out to her about his own therianthropy, and directed her to the Christian Therianthropy Forum. She spent a few months reading articles and threads there and on Werelist. The discovery of these sources told her that she wasn't alone in what she was experiencing and triggered a sort of awakening in her, where she no longer felt a need to repress her therianthropy or dismiss it as some form of insanity. After a couple months of lurking she joined both of the aforementioned forums, though it wasn't until some time after she joined Werelist that she heard the term otherkin.
