[edit] 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 Corsac fox with completely greyscale fur, a modified species given the tongue-in-cheek name of "Canadian grey fox". Frequently, this portrayal will include accessories or even the full appearance of being of a similar style to the programs in the film TRON (Disney, 1982) complete with violet glow.

Previous to this, she represented herself as Jessie-Tiger, a female "Canadian grey tiger." Earlier than that, she could be found as Jason-Roo, a male "Canadian grey kangaroo." This is especially evident in the cover art to her album Frozen Hex.

[edit] Music
