== Gaming and roleplaying ==

Dark is an avid gamer, having owned at least one of the past two generations{{when}}{{clarify}} of Sony and Nintendo consoles, preferring to stay well away from Microsoft's "pay more"{{clarify}} model for Xbox Live. He's also fairly active on Steam despite owning very few PC games.

He is mainly seen roleplaying on a web site he runs, ZEJ Roleplaying, and in a chat room{{clarify}} on the popular (but slow) Chatzy service under the name ''Furry''.

[[File:AmiSketchColored.jpg|right|thumb|220px|Picture of Ami Darkfield. A colored sketch (sketch by [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/stellary/ Stellary]) ]]
'''Ami Moonfire Darkfield''', also know as '''Ami''', (born June 12th 1988) is a [[female]] and [[artist]] living in British Columbia, Canada. Her persona is a vampire alien black panther neko.

Ami's discovery of the [[fandom]] is unknown, as well as where she first found it. She is also not much of a furry but she supports the [[fandom]] just fine. Ami is more of a neko person.

== Personal life ==
Ami is a female living in Canada, who currently lives alone in a small basement suite. She currently has a fangirl crush on a Criminal Minds character, Spencer Reid but tries to keep calm and not crazy about it.

Her personality contains a bratty, stubborn, curiosity, playful and quick to laugh. She tries to act mature but at times childish. Loves to make friends and draw. Also she can not live without her precious music.

Ami enjoys playing games, drawing, listening to her music, roleplaying with her friends and hanging with them. She loves swimming and watching her favorite shows like Criminal Minds and Skyland.

== Art ==
[[File:ReidhuggigngAmi.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Ami Darkfield being comforted by Spencer Reid. This is also an example of Ami's artwork. ]]
Ami has been drawing since a young age, though around where she first started drawing it consisted more of stick people. As she got a bit older she tried drawing better with details. One piece she first drew at a young age was that of Ash Ketchum, from Pokemon, which she had done entirely in crayons. The piece was very nice and she even got praised on it. As she got older she didn't draw much until the age of 19 when she got into it again. She first started drawing on paper with pencil crayons. Taking pictures of them as a way to submit them online on sites. However, her artistic skill didn't grow much cause most of her art was the same and not well colored but thanks to helpful friends she has gotten better. After drawing on MS Paint and failing she almost wanted to quick drawing. Though later she got a tablet and using art programs like GIMP, Photoshop and Easy Paint Tool Sai, She has gotten much better.

Looking up tutorials and watching her friends draw on livestream, she kept on getting better. Ami has improved so much in her art over the past years and she keeps on getting better. She accepts constructive criticism, which later helps her improve. Her art is inspired drawing anime style but coloring with airbrush.

== Ami the character ==
When Ami first created her persona in 2008, she was originally a Teen Titans OC named Moonfire. Youngest sister to Starfire and Blackfire. However, while roleplaying outside of Teen Titans area and after realizing Moonfire was more just like her but with changes to it, with the added powers, it was then realized that Moonfire was her persona. It took Ami ages before finding the right name but finally named her character Ami Moonfire Darkfield. She kept the Moonfire name cause she liked it but has it as her middle name. Ami has gone through many changes as a character, improving as to not seem like an immortal being. Her first outfit was based on Starfire's but different colors but got later changed. Got changed again into Ami wearing pants instead of a skirt making it easier for when shes kicking butt.

=== Appearance ===
Ami is a vampire panther neko who is 5' 5" and weighs 120 lbs. She has purple hair that is shoulder length, or just above the shoulders if you want to be more accurate, with black bangs she just dyes when needed. Being a panther neko, she has the features like one. As having a black panther tail, the ears and fangs as one. Even her purple eyes are like a panthers but don't look it as she doesn't have the catlike slits as pupils. Her nails are claws but also don't look it as she keeps them well sharpen. When she opens her mouth, panther fangs are shown, the rest look like teeth but are in fact fangs.

Her outfit consists of a nice black leather/jean jacket with a red collar. The sleeves are bunched up and folded, stitched that way, around the elbows. The length of the jacket just goes around the waist. She wears a purple mini t-shirt that shows her midriff. She wears black leather pants/jeans that are wide hear the bottom, pants are held up by a silver belt with a purple heart shaped belt buckle. She wears black leather boots that stop around her ankles, she wears red socks. On her hands she has black fingerless gloves with red cuffs on them, same colors that match the whole outfit.

[[File:TheDarkfields.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Ami with her family. From left to right: Aiden (father), Ami, Damien (twin brother) and Hitomi (mother)]]

=== Description ===
Ami Darkfield is currentlty 22 years old. Don't let who she is fool you. Ami is a vampire because when she was a 10 years old, she got attacked by a vampire who bit her. However, this vampire failed. Ami only gained a trait of one like the thirst for blood. Though for Ami, blood is not a necessity, she can live without it but it doesn't stop her from trying to get some and attacking an innocent person. She is also a very loyal creature who will protect the ones she loves and cares about by all means, meaning she would kill anyone who messes with her or the ones she cares about. Despite her crazy nature, she is a friendly one and loves to make people laugh.

Her one downfall is, she has this evil side to her and this entity has her own body. This evil side is named Onyx, who is currently in a place that Ami likes to call the World of Darkness. Onyx is Ami's dark and evil side, also the evil thoughts Ami has. She loves to torment Ami on a daily basis or just when she wants too which drives Ami crazy. Though she also is capable of ignoring Onyx or just telling her to shut up.

Ami's powers include of a few things but with weaknesses too. She studies witchcraft and can do magic, saying that Ami is also a witch. She doesn't know a lot of magic and uses little magic every know and then. She can also control darkness and fire, which is not easy. With her Darkness power it can only be used when its extremely dark and in this day and age that's not easy. So light being her one weakness to that power. And with fire, well that's easy to figure out, she can not use it around water or anywhere moist. Water being that power's weakness.
Another power consists of Ami reaching out her hands and gathering energy/mana which is purple color for her to use her magic and other abilities like forming and object to hit someone with or flying. Ami can't really fly, she just levitates her body like she can levitate objects. Saying that she can levitate other people too. When shes gather this energy/mana from around her, her hands and wrists glow a purple pulse color. Though one downside is, she can use up a lot of her own energy and can get weak from it.

'''Bovines''' (subfamily '''Bovinae''') comprise a diverse group of ten genera of medium to large-sized [[mammal]] [[ungulate]]s, including '''cattle''', [[bison]], [[African buffalo]], [[water buffalo]]s, and the four-[[horn]]ed and spiral-horned [[antelope]]s.

== Etymology ==

Bovine is derived from [[W:Latin|Latin]] '''''bos''''' ('''''ox'''''), through the [[W:Late Latin|late Latin]] '''''bovinus'''''. "''Bos''" comes from the [[W:Proto-Indo-European language|Indo-European]] root '''''*gʷṓws''''' ([[male]] or [[female]]), meaning '''''cattle''''' (kăt'l).

== Description ==

General characteristics of bovines include [[Hoof|cloven hooves]] and usually, at least one of the [[gender|sexes]] of a species having [[Horn|true horn]]s. Genetic selected hornless bovines are called '''polled'''. The largest bovine in existence is the [[W:Gaur|gaur]].

In many countries, bovid milk and meat are used as food by [[human]]s. Cattle are kept as livestock almost everywhere except in parts of India and Nepal, where they are [[W:Cattle in religion and mythology|considered sacred]] by most [[W:Hindus|Hindus]]. Bovids are used as draft animals and as riding animals.

Small breeds of domestic bovids, such as the [[W:Miniature Zebu|Miniature Zebu]], are kept as [[pet]]s. Bovid leather is highly durable and flexible and is used to produce a wide range of goods, including clothing and bags.

== Bovines in mainstream culture ==

The following are a handful of examples of bovines' influence in mainstream lore:

* '''Mythology and religion'''
** [[W:Kamadhenu|Kamadhenu]] ([[W:Hinduism|Hindu religion]])
** [[W:Mehet-Weret|Mehet-Weret]] ([[Egyptian mythology]])
** [[W:Hathor|Hathor]] (Egyptian mythology)
** [[Minotaur]] ([[W:Greek mythology|Greek mythology]])

* '''Media'''

** [[Clarabelle Cow]] ([[Disney]])
** [[Toro the Bull]] ([[Warner Bros.]]' 1953 ''[[W:Bully for Bugs|Bully for Bugs]]'')

** [[Cow (Cow and Chicken)|Cow]] (''[[Cow and Chicken]]'') ([[Cartoon Network]])

** [[Madam Bovine]] (also known as '''Daisy''', ''[[Meet the Feebles]]'')

* '''Gaming'''
** [[Tauren (fictional species)|Tauren]] species ([[W:Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard Entertainment]]'s ''[[World of Warcraft]]'')

== Cattle ==

'''Cattle''' ('''''Bos taurus''''') are large [[W:domestication|domesticated]], hooved [[W:herbivore|herbivore]]s. They are the most prominent and widespread of the modern members of the bovids, and they are grown almost exclusively for meat ([[W:beef|beef]] or [[W:veal|veal]]), milk, skin hides, and their [[W:Cow dung|dung]], which can be used to create [[W:manure|manure]] or fuel.

=== Etymology ===

* A '''bull''' is an intact (i.e. not [[W:castrated|castrated]]) adult male. A father bull is called a '''sire''' with reference to his offspring, a castrated male is called a '''steer''' (US), and a castrated male kept for draft or riding purposes is called an '''ox'''.
* '''Cow''' is the female of the species A young female before she has had a calf of her own and who is under three years of age is called a '''heifer''' (p. '''heiferettes'''). Heiferettes with a calf lineage become '''dams'''.
* '''Calves''' (s. '''calf''') are young cattle, regardless of sex, until they are weaned, then they are called '''yearlings''' or '''stirks'''.
* '''Oxen''' (s. '''ox''') are, commonly, castrated adult male cattle used as riding animals and draft animals.
* '''Bullocks''' are also castrated adult male cattle, which in this case are used to pull carts, plows, and other implements.
* '''Maverick''' is an unbranded bovine of either sex (US/AU).

=== Description ===

Bulls are more muscular and aggressive than the females of the species, and due to their temperament, handling requires precaution. Cows have prominent pink [[breast]]s on their underbellies called [[udder]], and both genders play a significant role in beef ranching, dairy farming, and a variety of sporting and cultural activities, including [[W:bullfighting|bullfighting]] and [[W:bull riding|bull riding]].

Cattle are highly social animals, bonding to their herd mates (or, particularly if isolated, to human caregivers), and they engage in social grooming and play.

== Bovines and furry ==

The '''minotaur''' is among some of the ancient mythical [[character]]s that have been adopted by the [[furry fandom]] at large thanks to its part-[[human]], part-[[animal]] design. For example, [[Min (Dungeons & Denizens)|Min]], the minotaur from the [[webcomic]] series ''[[Dungeons & Denizens]]'', is essentially an [[anthro]] bull.

The '''Tauren''' from Blizzard Entertainment's '''''World of Warcraft''''' is also a fandom favorite due to the design and development effort Blizzard put into the species.

Cows are often seen in the furry fandom, with most involved in [[adult]] [[paraphilia]]s like breast-themed (multiple nipples, various locations [chest or crotch area], multiple [[gender]]s, etc.) or [[Hypertrophilia|hyper-sexualized]] themes.

=== Known bovines in the furry fandom media ===

* [[Mellany Melons]] (artist [[Elton Portilho]])
* [[Lorenda Soulstealer]] (artist [[Amber Williams]])
* [[Terrorbull]] (artist [[Shawntae Howard]])
* [[Cow (PawPet)|Cow]] ([[Pawpet show|The Pawpet Show]], artist ?)
* [[Messy Cow]] (artist [[Weng Chen]])

== Cattle ==

'''Cattle''' ('''''Bos taurus''''') are large [[W:domestication|domesticated]], hooved [[W:herbivore|herbivore]]s. They are the most prominent and widespread of the modern members of the bovids, and they are grown almost exclusively for meat ([[W:beef|beef]] or [[W:veal|veal]]), milk, skin hides, and their [[W:Cow dung|dung]], which can be used to create [[W:manure|manure]] or fuel.

=== Etymology ===

* A '''bull''' is an intact (i.e. not [[W:castrated|castrated]]) adult male. A father bull is called a '''sire''' with reference to his offspring, a castrated male is called a '''steer''' (US), and a castrated male kept for draft or riding purposes is called an '''ox'''.
* '''Cow''' is the female of the species A young female before she has had a calf of her own and who is under three years of age is called a '''heifer''' (p. '''heiferettes'''). Heiferettes with a calf lineage become '''dams'''.
* '''Calves''' (s. '''calf''') are young cattle, regardless of sex, until they are weaned, then they are called '''yearlings''' or '''stirks'''.
* '''Oxen''' (s. '''ox''') are, commonly, castrated adult male cattle used as riding animals and draft animals.
* '''Bullocks''' are also castrated adult male cattle, which in this case are used to pull carts, plows, and other implements.
* '''Maverick''' is an unbranded bovine of either sex (US/AU).

=== Description ===

Bulls are more muscular and aggressive than the females of the species, and due to their temperament, handling requires precaution. Cows have prominent pink [[breast]]s on their underbellies called [[udder]], and both genders play a significant role in beef ranching, dairy farming, and a variety of sporting and cultural activities, including [[W:bullfighting|bullfighting]] and [[W:bull riding|bull riding]].

Cattle are highly social animals, bonding to their herd mates (or, particularly if isolated, to human caregivers), and they engage in social grooming and play.

== Bovines and furry ==

The '''minotaur''' is among some of the ancient mythical [[character]]s that have been adopted by the [[furry fandom]] at large thanks to its part-[[human]], part-[[animal]] design. For example, [[Min (Dungeons & Denizens)|Min]], the minotaur from the [[webcomic]] series ''[[Dungeons & Denizens]]'', is essentially an [[anthro]] bull.

The '''Tauren''' from Blizzard Entertainment's '''''World of Warcraft''''' is also a fandom favorite due to the design and development effort Blizzard put into the species.

Cows are often seen in the furry fandom, with most involved in [[adult]] [[paraphilia]]s like breast-themed (multiple nipples, various locations [chest or crotch area], multiple [[gender]]s, etc.) or [[Hypertrophilia|hyper-sexualized]] themes.

'''Bovines''' (subfamily '''Bovinae''') comprise a diverse group of ten genera of medium to large-sized [[mammal]] [[ungulate]]s, including '''cattle''', [[bison]], [[African buffalo]], [[water buffalo]]s, and the four-[[horn]]ed and spiral-horned [[antelope]]s.

==Etymology==

Bovine is derived from [[W:Latin|Latin]] '''''bos''''' ('''''ox'''''), through the [[W:Late Latin|late Latin]] '''''bovinus'''''. "''Bos''" comes from the [[W:Proto-Indo-European language|Indo-European]] root '''''*gʷṓws''''' ([[male]] or [[female]]), meaning '''''cattle''''' (kăt'l).

== Description ==

General characteristics of bovines include [[Hoof|cloven hooves]] and usually, at least one of the [[gender|sexes]] of a species having [[Horn|true horn]]s. Genetic selected hornless bovines are called '''polled'''. The largest bovine in existence is the [[W:Gaur|gaur]].

In many countries, bovid milk and meat are used as food by [[human]]s. Cattle are kept as livestock almost everywhere except in parts of India and Nepal, where they are [[W:Cattle in religion and mythology|considered sacred]] by most [[W:Hindus|Hindus]]. Bovids are used as draft animals and as riding animals.

Small breeds of domestic bovids, such as the [[W:Miniature Zebu|Miniature Zebu]], are kept as [[pet]]s. Bovid leather is highly durable and flexible and is used to produce a wide range of goods, including clothing and bags.
