Fursona
Khord's fursona is a female, feral white Shorthair werecat created on June 20, 2009. The name "Khord" originates from the term "Chord", a musical term for pitches being played simultaneously, which is spelled with a "K" instead of a "C".

She has a black vertical stripe on her back, and heterochromic eyes with a blue left eye and a green right eye. Unlike most were- creatures, she can never turn back to her human form and takes an appearance contrasting traditional portrayals of were- creatures. The stripe is both symbolic of a black note on a piano and a tire mark referencing Khords backstory.

Story
Khord Kitty was originally a male human named Chris. He was cursed when he ran over a cat during a drunken after-party drive. That unnamed cat had a karma spell which cursed him. The spell turned him into Khord Kitty. With no memory of her previous human form, Khord's personality is playful, curious, cheeky, and sly.
