I've found this fandom in a similar way: Way back in 2006, I was on vacation in Florida, went to a home game of the NHL-Panthers there. I happened to be in the right spot at the right time to allow for not only one but a few interactions with their team mascot, Stanley C. Panther. Coming from Switzerland, where mascotting isn't a thing, this was something I absolutely didn't plan for, nor didn't expect, yet it left a lasting impression with me. I had already enjoyed watching Disney's theme park characters interacting with kids, I learned what major league sports mascots do in terms of spreading joy both on and off the field, in their cities and communities. I began to research more about mascotting and didn't know something like the Furry fandom even existed before I've finally found the videos of Kijani Lion from the Seattle area. From that moment, I knew what my destiny was - doing the very same: Spreading joy through character performance, dressed up in a mascot-like animal costume!
