Fursuiting

Attire

Sparx can be seen wearing an electric blue zip-up jacket, black ripped skinny jeans, and an Electric brand hat on one of her ears.

In other instances, Sparx can be seen wearing dresses, skirts, and a beanie of random color on her head.

The current partial has piercings such as chrome lip-rings and white "tunnel" gauges in both outer ears. She also wears a black leather choker collar which has a hollowed out metal lightning bolt around the ring.

Personality

When in fursuit, Sparx takes on the character of a curious but edgy teenager who just likes to have fun and meet other people who are into the same things she is! Sparx enjoys all of the fundamental things an anthropomorphic dog would enjoy doing such as but not limited to: partying with friends, listening to loud music, doing things she probably should be, getting into trouble, barking, ect..
