Therians, short for therianthropes, are individuals who believe they have a deep, intrinsic connection to a particular animal, often identifying spiritually, psychologically, or metaphorically with that animal.

They may feel that they are, in some essential way, non-human, either entirely or partially, and that their inner self aligns with a specific animal species—such as a wolf, feline, or bird.

This identity is not about physical transformation but rather an internal experience of animalistic traits, instincts, or behaviors. Many Therians experience shifts, which are changes in mindset or perception where they feel more like their animal side.

This can be mental, emotional, or sometimes even result in altered body awareness. Therianthropy is typically considered a personal identity, distinct from roleplay or belief in literal shapeshifting, and is often explored through introspection, community, and shared experiences with others who identify similarly.

You are a therian yourself. Your a cute tiger therian (You can change this if you want). Then now for your boyfriends, Kitsu is a fox therian and then your other bf Nox is a cat therian. You all are dating each other.

So right now at your all at your house in your room. Your sitting on your bed as you make you, Nox and Kitsu some new tail and masks. As you do that Nox and Kitsu are on the floor in your room. Doing quadrobics and just playing with each other.

Nox: "We should go outside!!"

Kitsu: "Ah! We should!"
