Albus Draconis

2007-07-13T08:05:58Z

Miyenganishikwe Neesa:

'''Albus Draconis''' is the fursona name of Terrakian Wintermoon (AKA '''Miyenganishikwe''' '''Neesa'''- this name can be found in the "People" category under '''Miyenganishikwe'''), born in March of 1968. She appears as a white western dragon, with blue eyes and a long, silvery-white mane. So far, she is only an on-line presence, having had no opportunities, as of yet, to attend any furry conventions or similar events. She can often be found posting entries to her livejournal and to the livejournal community called The Dragons and the livejournal community, Gothic Furries.

She is an artist and clothing-designer, graduating from the University of Manitoba in 2004 and being awarded a certificate in Apparel Design. She has worked in a wide range of media, including paint, silver wire, semi-precious stones, fabric and fibre, clay, and found objects. She has made prop weapons for LARP games, costumes in a variety of styles and time-periods, prosthetic fangs and latex facial-appliances.

She is the kind of inquisitive sort who, on seeing something she finds fascinating, will try to figure out how to build it. She has been dubbed by the local fandom community as the "Mcgyver of costume-design". Many have set her a challenge and she has usually met it with gusto. One convention, as part of a panel-discussion she was leading, she designed and fully-built a costume (with the assistance of the panelists, of course) in one day, then entering it in that convention's Masquerade- it didn't win any prizes, though it apparently was at least in the running. Most gave her and her panelists a nod for their chutzpah, anyway.

She is also trying her hand at fiction-writing, with two science-fiction novels in the works (one nearly completed) and a number of short stories in various stages of construction. As yet, she has only been published in a small-press magazine called The Minstrel (now defunct), where she published some poetry and artwork. She also did the art for several of their covers.

She is currently working on a web-comic concept called "Loveless"; a comedy about her own love life with a dragon as one of the main characters, and another she has tentatively titled "Cherry-blossom Dragon", an erotic romance set in medieval/mythological Japan (this one is still in the planning-stages).

Miyenganishikwe Neesa:

Miyenganishikwe Neesa is the on-line, WikiFur specific, alias of '''Terrakian Wintermoon'''. Yes, that is her ''real'' name. She was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in March of 1968. A self-taught artist, she works in a number of different media; pen-and-ink, acrylic paint, silver wire and beads, fabric and anything else she can get her creative hands on. Miyenganishikwe has even dabbled in prosthetic make-up, creating latex and fur facial-pieces, and dental-acrylic fangs. She was educated at the University of Manitoba, gaining a certificate in Apparel Design.

For a year, she volunteered at the Manitoba Museum as an illustrator for their archeology department- a book featuring works by her and others, alongside scholarly articles by eminent acheologists and anthropologists will be published sometime in the next year. Her art will be featured accompanying the articles about two burials found in Manitoba.

She works in the retail industry, selling fabric to designers, tailors and home-sewers.... Ok, she's a clerk in a fabric-store. But she ''does'' create a variety of costumes, clothing designs, jewelry and artwork, often by commission.

Miyenganishikwe has many hobbies, her favourites being costume design and gardening, at the moment. Her interests fluctuate a fair bit and can touch on everything from belly-dance and pow-wow dance to jewelry design, erotic art, to writing fiction (mostly science-fiction and dark fantasy.

Her fursona is a white dragon with a long, silvery mane. She has lately been going by the name of '''Albus Draconis''' (meaning white dragon- she knows it is actually a male name, but she didn't like Alba, the female version). Dragons have been a strong aspect of her life for at least the last twenty years, mostly from an artistic stand-point, though she's had an interest in creating dragon costumes for much of that time. She has only recently discovered that she might be considered a furry.

Miyenganishikwe also collects the dragons she's so fascinated by- satisfying her hoarding instinct in at least that one small way. Her friends like to joke about Miyenganishikwe's hoard; her gold, the books, the fabric, her music and other, weirder stuff.

Still very new to the furry scene, she is currently on the hunt for any information regarding furry people, etiquette, Cons in her area (if any), and how to contact other dragons like herself. She hasn't yet joined any of the societies out there, as she is still learning about them. Miyenganishikwe currently spends more of her time entertaining her room-mate's four-year-old son, mucking about in her garden, or working, than investigating the furry world, but that might change.

Miyenganishikwe Neesa: A breif bio of Miyenganishikwe, AKA "albus_draconis"

I'm new to the furry community (though I've heard of it at least as far back as the early nineties). I usually go by the nickname of albus_draconis; it's a male name, I realize, but I didn't want to go by "alba". In any case, it means the same thing; white dragon- a reference to my fursona.

I was born in 1968, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I drew my name from the Cree and Seneca languages; Coyote-Woman Wintermoon. I don't speak either language, unfortunately, but I do claim a smallish amount of ancestry from the Innu tribe of the Cree people (my mother's tribe). Because of this, I trace some my interest in humanoform animals to my people's history/mythology (the rest derives from D&D, various fantasy novels, erotic comics such as Xenophile; by Phil Foglio, and my own warped imagination), which is rich in an animal-based mythology and religious practice.

I haven't yet created a character in any of the available gaming-communities, as this isn't my primary interest, at the moment.

I (way too many I's, here), consider myself to be a herpephile, having loved and collected dragons for over half of my life. My preferred furry persona (fursona?) is of a blue-eyed, white dragon with a long mane of silver-white hair, though I have a strong attachment to wolves and coyotes, as is evidenced by my name. I am currently working on a design for my first fursuit (should that be skinsuit?); I have most of the needed materials, but I'm wondering where I can acquire some wig-hair of a suitable length (at least 12 inches long) and colour.

I am an artist, preferring to work in fibre, cloth, clays, paint and silver wire. I'm mostly self-taught, but I did take courses at the University of Manitoba, getting a Certificate in Apparel Design. I've participated in other projects, such as the now-defunct Gallery of Life, a co-op of artists in a variety of media. Sadly, due to lack of funds to keep it running, the Gallery closed in 1996.

During the year of 2006, I volunteered at the Manitoba Museum as an illustrator for their archeology department. The works I did for them will be published in a book of scholarly papers by eminent archeologists and anthropologists- it will probably be read by maybe a hundred people. Hopefully, I'll get a copy- I was promised one.

This is still an extremely new medium for me, this on-line stuff, and I'm still in the process of learning how all of this works.

I regularly attend local science-fiction conventions (I'm unable to travel, at the moment; no car), most notably, Keycon (now in it's twenty-fourth year, and my twenty-ninth convention). I would jump at the chance to attend a furry-related Con, if it's within a reachable distance.

As for hobbies, I have many; I'm a bibliophile, in that I collect books of all sorts; from dictionaries and language-primers, to science-fiction novels, to books on anatomy and biology. Actually, I'm a collector of many things, few really connected to the world of collectibles or media-related merchandising (no interest in those kinds of things), but I do tend to gather a largish hoard of anything that grabs my interest. I like shiny things- so jewelry is up there (I weed it out regularly, to keep it from taking over my bathroom). There is my dragon collection, bone collection, feathers, fabric, funky rocks. There are also too many books, weird deco items and seeds for my garden.

So, the hoarding instinct of the dragon is definitely there! Pity the poor nit who tries to toss something out; "but I might '''use''' that!" (rawr, slash)

I dread whenever I have to move; I have to purge my stuff and go through it all to at least make an attempt at lightening the load. I ''hate'' moving.

Other hobbies include; gardening, costume-design, jewelry design, fiction-writing, dance (belly and pow-wow; haven't done much of this recently, due to bad knees), and LARP.

Anyway, looking to learn more about the furry crowd, their habits, etiquette, and if any are in Winnipeg, etc.
