'''Electric Keet''' is the pseudonym of '''Jessie Tracer''', a member of the [[furry fandom]]. She lives with her wife, [[Buni|th' buni]], in the [[Wikipedia:Seattle, Washington|Seattle, Washington]] region and works as a freelance music composer. Jessie Tracer / Electric Keet is known primarily for her breadth of creative pursuits.

== Fursona ==
Electric Keet is not a [[fursona]] but merely a creative, slightly absurdist pseudonym. While the name is not intended to connote any particular species, the "Keet" portion does originate as a variant of the word "[[parakeet]]."

In specifically furry contexts, Jessie is most often portrayed as a large, moderately [[anthropomorphic]] [[Wikipedia:Snow Leopard|snow leopard]] with completely greyscale fur, a modified species. Frequently, this portrayal will include accessories or even the full appearance of being of a similar style to the programs in the film [[Wikipedia:TRON (film)|''TRON'']] (Disney, 1982) complete with violet glow.

Almost all of Electric Keet's avatars may be described as "a Canadian grey ''species''". For example, prior to her current form, she represented herself as a female "Canadian grey [[Wikipedia:Corsac fox|Corsac fox]]", and a "Canadian grey tiger" before that. Earlier than that, she could be found as '''Jason-Roo''', a [[male]] "Canadian grey [[kangaroo]]." This last form is especially evident in the cover art to her album ''Frozen Hex.''

It is described on the site as "a blend of [[Wikipedia:F-Zero X|''F-Zero X'']] and [[Wikipedia:Animalympics|''Animalympics'']]".
