Samū Ketuvo

Samu: Fix wikipedia links

'''Samū Ketuvo''', or just '''Samū''', also known as '''Samū Fox''', '''Heckin' Fox''' or '''Runefox''', formerly as '''Shadew Fox''' or just '''Shadew''', is a [[W:Non-binary gender|non-binary]] [[furry artist]], [[W:Video game developer|video game developer]], and [[W:Programmer|programmer]] who lives in Northern Netherlands.<ref>[https://twitter.com/KetuSamu Samū Ketuvo's profile] on [[X (social media)|X]]. Retrieved February 11, 2024.</ref>

== Fandom involvement ==

Samū first joined the [[furry fandom]] online in 2021, attending [[Furry Weekend Holland]] in 2022. They are now the team lead of the [[Design]] department at [[Reffurence]] and are mainly responsible for the venue's printed media, such as the [[conbook]]. Samū is also an [[artist]], specialized in stickers, but they only draw as a hobby.

=== Fursonas ===

Samū Ketuvo's main [[fursona]] (of the same name) is a fully grey [[fox]] (their design is based on a [[red fox]]), with blue claws and purple hair, but their most notable feature is their eyes, which glow in two different colors, red and cyan. Their name is from a [[W:Constructed language|conlang]] called '''''Mohiijevää''''', which comes to mean "'''''Samū the Fox'''''". Until December 2022, Samū was known as '''''Shadew'''''.

==== Samū's backstory ====

Samū is a [[W:Magic_(supernatural)#Magicians|mage]] who mastered teleportation through portals, but they know several other powerful spells. Originally, Samū lived in another world, where they were taught their skills from the tribe they've descended from. When a spreading curse of corruption hit their world, Samū's goal was to escape the world.

They managed to do so, but not without consequences. Upon arrival on Earth, they lost their physical body, and their soul adapted the body of a nearby [[fox]] instead. Their memories arrived all over Earth, in the form of runes carved into walls, stones, and trees.

==== Other fursonas ====

Samū has two other fursonas they don't often use:
* '''Ivy''' - A brown-green [[fennec]].
* '''Kiva''' - A blue-orange [[coyote]].

=== Personality ===

Samū is shy at first, but they can talk a lot if they feel comfortable. They're interested in many topics, such as [[W:IT|IT]], mathematics, physics, design and traffic, and they're happy to discuss these topics. Samū speaks [[W:Dutch|Dutch]] and [[W:English|English]] fluently.
