Esqui

Esqui (real name Alice Hancock, born 4th December 1987) is a furry who resides in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.

Fursona
Esqui's fursona is a red squirrel. In art, it generally is coloured as a bright red, as opposed to the orange-red colouring of real squirrels. Her fursona is identifiable by its long hair, and a black stripe down the back and tail. Esqui is generally considered to have an optimistic and happy personality (which reflects Alice's real life personality).

In the Fandom
Esqui is a regular contributor to the UKfur forum. She also draws occasionally, but doesn't currently consider her art of enough merit to sell. She joined the fandom in the first part of 2008, choosing her fursona before she became actively involved.

Real Life
Alice was born in Bournemouth, and has also lived in Southampton between 1995 and 2003. She was a student at The University of Southampton until February 2009, studying Mathematics and French. She works in the Bournemouth area as a computer technician and administrator for an electronics retailer.

Despite her location, Esqui has in the past associated more with the Northernfurs, having been to more meets and conventions there from 2008 to 2012 than with the local Hantsfurs. More recently, the reorganisation of the Hantsfurs meets has seen an increase in their popularity and frequency.

In June 2009, Esqui moved to the Boscombe area of Bournemouth, sharing a flat with her partner, DanFox Davies. They have lived in a few flats in Bournemouth since and are now settled in a longer term rental in Springbourne.
