About Uzuri
"Uzuri" is my on line personality, of course, and you're far more likely to find me on the internet under that name than my real one.
The original Uzuri is a character in Chronicles of the Pridelands, a Lion King fanfiction, and a very good one. I was a particular fan of this character, and chose the name in the late 90s when I joined a fan art site.
I eventually left the fan art site, but the name followed me. Now I think I can safely say that I'm known by more people as "Uzuri" than anything else.
When Uzuri appears in my artwork, she is an Irish Setter. You could call her a fursona if you like, as though I don't really qualify as "furry" myself she does represent me in certain ways--not the least of which being the fact that I'm totally domesticated.
