== Biography ==

Born and raised in her hometown of Port Moody, Cassidy has never lived outside her small city of 33k. Her father served briefly as a one-term city councilor from 2018 to 2022, unsuccesfully running for mayor in 2022. Cassidy primarily works as a [[movie extra]] when not at [[convention]]s, as well as odd municipal jobs.

She suffered a mini-stroke, or TIA, on May 1, 2019. This, along with a car accident on New Years 2019, are largely considered the reasons she decided to finally release a debut album.

Cassidy also has a more general interest in art, particularly drawing and directing. She has taken on a new creative role as the director and partial storyboard artist for her upcoming animated music videos, as well as the early beginnings of a 2D animated feature film.

In February 2025, she ran for her first elected office as the nearby city of Coquitlam had a snap byelection to fill the remaining 18 months of a school board trustee seat. As the only candidate not from Coquitlam specifically, as well as being the youngest and only LGBT candidate, she came 5th in a field of 5 candidates. <ref>https://www.coquitlam.ca/DocumentCenter/View/14414/SD43-By-Election-Preliminary-Election-Results-Updated</ref>

== Fandom involvement ==

Cassidy Civet found the [[furry community]] around 2012. She had long been interested in anthropomorphic cartoons and media, and it was through her short-lived obsession with [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] that she found the fandom.

Cassidy was the winner of the [[Good Furry Award]] for 2021 presented by [[Grubbs Grizzly]].<ref>[https://www.askpapabear.com/2021-voting.html]</ref> She later also appeared on season 2 of [[Wikipedia:Canada's Got Talent|Canada's Got Talent]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Bahn_Maplewolf/status/1516985219194236928?s=20&t=JdcOhKe5EqHzTBfj4dHYrQ]</ref> She writes reviews and commentary for ''[[Flayrah]]''.<ref>[https://www.flayrah.com/u/cassidythecivet CassidyTheCivet's profile] on ''[[Flayrah]]''. Retrieved July 3, 2017.</ref>

She was a Guest of Honor at the final [[Wild Prairie Fur Con]] in 2023.

=== SurviFur ===

A public fan of the hit CBS show "Survivor", Cassidy began running her own competitions based on the franchise at conventions starting in 2019. Dubbing them [[SurviFur]], and naming them after the cons they've been run at (i.e. SurviFur: Megaplex 2022), the panel has now been run in some form over 30 times (or seasons). The first "season" was run at [[VancouFur 2019]] with a cast of 20 players, and ultimately ended without a winner. The first winner came from [[Fur-Eh! 2019]], the first game capped at 12 players. She has however auditioned several times for the real show itself, including flying to Oregon for the 2024 Lincoln City casting call.

=== Fursuit ===

Cassidy's only fursuit so far is a custom full body suit by Costa Rican based maker Blue Wolf Studios.<ref>[https://fursuitreview.com/r/yes-cassidy-civet-fullsuit-by-blue-wolf-studio/ CassidyTheCivet's fursuitreview] on ''[[FursuitReview]]''. Retrieved September 29, 2019.</ref>

== Music ==

Cassidy is a musician who frequently publishes songs in a variety of genres, most specifically songs in her favorite genres of [[W:Pop Music|Pop Music]], [[W:Electronic_dance_music|EDM]] and [[W:Adult Contemporary|Adult Contemporary]]. As a piano player and vocalist, she arranges and composes her own music. She released her debut album on February 29, 2020, with her sophomore effort "Cruel Oasis" releasing 3 years later on August 4th, 2023.

A Eurofan since 2014, Cassidy has routinely submitted to the [[W:Eurovision Song Contest|Eurovision Song Contest]]. Submitting annually since 2015, for a rotating series of countries including [[W:Norway In The Eurovision Song Contest|Norway]], [[Wikipedia:San Marino In The Eurovision Song Contest|San Marino]], [[W:Azerbaijan In The Eurovision Song Contest|Azerbaijan]], [[W:Armenia In The Eurovision Song Contest|Armenia]], [[W:Czech Republic In The Eurovision Song Contest|Czech Republic]], [[W:Poland In The Eurovision Song Contest|Poland]], [[W:Switzerland In The Eurovision Song Contest|Switzerland]], [[W:Macedonia In The Eurovision Song Contest|Macedonia]], [[W:Ireland In The Eurovision Song Contest|Ireland]], [[W:Malta In The Eurovision Song Contest|Malta]] and [[W:Moldova In The Eurovision Song Contest|Moldova]]. She continues to write and submit new music for the contest, working with foreign musicians as well. On May 12, 2020, she became the first ever fursuiter to be featured in the Eurovision Song Contest, being shown in the first and second ever fan recap for the Semi-Finals since the event had been canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic<ref>[https://youtu.be/MShqokz743U?t=116].

She also auditioned for [[Wi:San Marino In The Eurovision Song Contest 2022|San Marino]], ultimately the audition was not successful. She returned to UVPSM in 2023, and once again did not make it through the auditions round.

[[Klace]] approached Cassidy Civet to write the furry Pop [[Triple Threat|album]] to accompany the release of his third game ''Komorebi''. The first promotional single "Stay The Night" was released on May 12, 2023, on Spotify, and was the first time Cassidy had worked as a songwriter for a song she did not sing or record herself. The album consisted of 8 original songs. <ref>[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/klace/komorebi]. Retrieved November 9, 2021.</ref> and was released on July 21. However, in early March 2024, game developer Klace severed ties with Civet and removed said album from all music streaming services.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Klace/status/1764391848871883026 Klace on Twitter]. Retrieved March 3, 2024.</ref> Though Cassidy later said in a video she intends to rerecord the project herself.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDfLplPAzRE&ab_channel=CassidyCivet Cassidy’s Klace Video] on Youtube.
