'''Sabrina''' is the main character of the [[webcomic]] ''[[Sabrina Online]]'' and she is a [[Skunk (species)|skunk]]. Something of a nerd, she wears glasses, loves collecting [[Transformers]], and working on her [[W:Amiga|Amiga computer]], which does cause her some social insecurity here and there by PC and Mac users.

==Appearance==

Sabrina's usual attire normally consists of a blue t-shirt & glasses and a pair of pants that match the fur pattern of the portions of her body they cover, so much so that she appears to be wearing no clothing on her lower body at all, which has elicited a few jokes in the comic and in fan art.

==Biography==

The oldest and first born child of Warren and Endora, Sabrina has one younger sister [[Tabitha]]. As a child Sabrina had, and still has, a love for Transformers toys but her parents, being concerned with their daughter's interest in boys toys, never bought any for her.

During middle and high school she became very interested in computer technology, and as the years went by she became really talented at the keyboard and after college use that talent to become a web designer. However, after the first two weeks at her new job, she was dismissed because the company had found a "cheaper way" of getting the job done.

=== Zig Zag Studios ===

Later, while looking through the newspaper for job articles, she found an ad for a local movie studio looking for a computer graphics designer. Needing a job, she immediately responded "but wait local, what kind of movie studio would be doing business outside of Hollywood" to Sabrina's shock the studio was [[Double Z Studios]], an adult entertainment studio.

After meeting the boss [[Zig Zag]] who is a white tiger-striped skunk, Sabrina nervously took the job designing the studios website, and nervously because Sabrina is last person you'd ever find in a place like that. But not wanting to lose her new job as quickly as last one, and seeing that her new job has great pay at the end of each week, she puts up with her job and her boss.

=== R.C. Raccoon ===

Later Sabrina joined a chat room online and met a Raccoon named R.C. who is an I.T. tech support worker. Since Sabrina also worked with computers, it was a perfect match, and after building a good relationship online, they finally met face to face at a sci-fi convection. Later, after meeting in a restaurant, they went back to Sabrina's home. Since they had already built a strong relationship online, they had come to the point where they trusted and loved each other enough to give themselves to the other. From that point on Sabrina and R.C. have been a close and romantic couple. The two later married and eventually had a [[hybrid]] daughter named [[Danielle Conrad]].

==Appearances==

She is the roommate of [[Amy the Squirrel]] and the older sister of [[Tabitha]]. She is currently employed by [[Double Z Studios]], in a graphic design/webmaster capacity (much to [[Zig Zag]]'s chagrin).

She is also one of the two main characters of [[Sabrina Online: The Story]] by [[Chris Foxx]], where her full name is '''Sabrina Mustelidae'''. The combined popularity of the comic and the story have inspired numerous authors to write stories in that setting, commonly referred to as the [[SabrinaVerse]]. In one of the stories, [[Tabitha (story)|Tabitha]], she died in a car accident when Tabitha was 16 years old. When Tabitha is now older, became involved in building a time machine to prevent her untimely death.

Sabrina also appears in [[Max Black Rabbit]]'s comic [[Sabrina at Algonquin]]. Nevertheless (much to [[Max Black Rabbit|Bunnyman]]'s dismay), Sabrina is in love with and dating [[R.C. Raccoon]].

Roderick The Rhodesian Ridgeback

[[File:Roderick.png|right|thumb|200px|Rodrick The Rhodesian Ridgeback]]
'''Rodrick The Rhodesian Ridgeback''', previously known as '''Zizix''', is the online alias of a Canadian [[furry fandom]] musician and writer. Roderick the Rhodesian was born on April 7th, 1994, in Dubai, where he lived for a total of 4 years before moving West to Ontario, Canada. On arrival to North America in 1998, he soon began absorbing its art and music cultures. Currently, he is working on an [[anthropomorphic]] themed novel which he plans on publishing under [[FurPlanet]] next year in 2012, and a solo music album, ''Who Needs Reality?''.<ref>http://www.last.fm/music/Who+Needs+Reality%3F/+wiki</ref>

== In the arts ==

=== Writing ===

At the age of 8, Roderick The Rhodesian began to show artistic talent. In grade five (in 2003) he began writing novels and every year after, he wrote another (though none of these were published because they were incomplete).

When asked about the reason behind his growing list of unfinished novels, Roderick The Rhodesian said; "I just do it for the sake of writing! Each and every time I scratch and start over, I gain more experience. One day, I'll make something that will truly be a masterpiece, but till then, I'm just drifting about on the river of writing I'm creating! I've got lots of time."

Most recently though, it seems as though this trend of unfinished books is coming to an end because Roderick The Rhodesian has claimed that he plans on finally publishing his recently started Sci-fi thriller novel which remains untitled for now.

=== Music ===

Family members claim, that by the age of 6, Rodrick The Rhodesian began improvised rapping and singing along to his favorite songs. His musical endeavors only became more prevalent as he grew up and from grade 7-10 he particpated in his school's choirs.

==== Music biography ====

At the age of 16, Roderick was coincidentally introduced by a friend to a music creation software entitled 'Acoustica Mixcraft'. Practically in that same week, did he go out and download the trial version. Very soon afterwords, he got the full version of it.

Roderick The Rhodesian's first song ever was entitled the 'Moods of Music' and was 10 minutes long.

The first song though that he publicly published to the site [[Fur Affinity]] was entitled 'Heaven's Not Enough'. 'Heaven's Not Enough' was an orchestral piece approx. 2:30 minutes long.

As Roderick The Rhodesian began to create more songs, the genre switched from orchestral to general techno where he created songs such as 'Flutter', 'Hypertension', 'God Of The Machine' amongst numerous others. <ref> http://www.furaffinity.net/user/zizixmp3/ </ref>

== Albums ==

=== Dreaming In Color ===

'Dreaming In Color' which featured a variety of genres from Orchestral, to Rock, to Trance and Electronica, was Roderick The Rhodesian's first attempt at creating an Album. This ended though before being complete with the changing of his music creation program.

As Roderick the Rhodesian's amateur career continued, he found himself running out of good loops to use in his current program. For a few weeks he went off the grid and searched for his next program.

After a brief experimentation with Fruity Loops 7 (that he created two unsuccessful songs with), he found Music Creator 6 and after taking the trial, bought the program and again began to make music.

The new songs he was creating had begun to reflect his efforts, no longer a childish hobby, it took on a quest to become more professional.

=== Who Needs Reality? ===

Roderick the Rhodesian's most recent album 'Who Needs Reality?' is a composition of his best older songs and all the new songs he's created. 'Who Needs Reality?' includes Indie Rock and Electro-Pop pieces. Each week (usually a Wednesday) he adds another song to his album on [[Furaffinity]]. So far, the songs are;

An Electro Pop piece entitled 'Boyz Beware'. Where he makes fun of the anti-gay ad campaigns of the 1950's <ref> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6744401 </ref>

An Electro pop piece entitled 'The Clockmaster'. Where he sings about time catching up to him and the Master of Time. <ref> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6666319/ </ref>

An Indi Rock piece entitled 'To Be A Dog'. Where he sings about transforming into a dog & what his life would be like as a dog. <ref> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6828080/ </ref>

An Indie Rock piece entitled 'The Good Days' is his simplest song yet, where it's just him, a guitar, some back up drums and bass and a 100% unedited voice. In this song he sings about life and what it is like to grow old with the individual that you truly love. <ref> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6950340/ </ref>

An Indie Rock Piece entitled 'Well Fuck' is where he sings about all the corruption politics and war have caused. An interesting thing to take note, is that though the tone of the song is upbeat the lyrics are rather depressing.<ref>http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6992848</ref>

When asked about the meaning behind this he said; "The two different tones represent the truth and then the facade put up to block the truth. The upbeat instruments are like the people high up who cast the facade and the actual lyrics and singing distant from time to time is the quieter truth!" <ref>http://www.furaffinity.net/msg/pms/</ref>

[[File:Dumbo.jpg|right|thumb|325px|Dumbo]]
'''Dumbo''' is a 1941 animated film by [[Disney]], based on a storyline written by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Pearl. The story takes place at a circus trope, where the main [[character]] is Jumbo Jr., a young [[elephant]] cruelly nicknamed "Dumbo". He is ridiculed by the other elephants for his huge [[ear]]s, which before the movies ends, he uses as [[wing]]s to fly.

Throughout most of the film, his only true friend, aside from his mother, is the [[mouse]], Timothy – a relationship parodying the stereotypical animosity between mice and elephants.

In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".<ref>https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-17-178/ retrieved 5 June 2018</ref>

'''The [[wikipedia:GNU Project|GNU Project]]''', which is the creator of the [[wikipedia:GNU|GNU operating system]], uses a grinning [[wikipedia:gnu|Gnu]]'s head as its logo and [[mascot]]<ref>[http://www.gnu.org/graphics/agnuhead.html GNU Head]</ref>. The logo, which was created by Etienne Suvasa in the 1980s, is regularly used by the both the GNU (or "GNU's Not Unix") Project's developers, by the [[wikipedia:Free Software Foundation|Free Software Foundation]] in advertising and advocacy, and by artists who usually use the mascot alongside [[Tux]], the Linux [[penguin]] mascot, to signify the longtime combination of the GNU operating system with the Linux kernel in most Linux distributions.

In several cases, the FSF and GNU project have depicted an [[anthropomorphic]] gnu in a yellow robe.
