➜ Information

Hello. I am Altarhea. I am a mere otherkin browsing the internet, coping with ways of life in a vessel that I found myself in upon birth. In my casual life, I am a simple human - quiet, in line rather than standing out. I enjoy fishkeeping and birdkeeping, I have an odd fixation on psychology and writing characters. I draw, and I like observing nature. I was always an imaginative child, I’d escape the real world through roleplaying and nowadays I find myself sitting by a good book that resonates with me, or well, as earlier, roleplaying. I worldbuild and I like the idea of Sci-Fi and space, little did I know, both of these things would be the core influence of my alterhuman identity.
I enjoy all things that involve creating. I also study civil engineering, and I hope to be involved in the profession in the future. I also love researching exotic pets, primarily fish and birds. I have a fur allergy, so I am not very enthusiastic about your common fluffy pets. I cannot give you reliable advice a vet would, but I can help you deal with some pet-related issues to the best of my abilities.
I did a random personality test, and it turns out I am INTJ-T. Also, I am a Leo if that matters! I am happily engaged!

₊⊹⁀➴ My Awakening

In 2024, late summer, I re-discovered the otherkin community on Tumblr and TikTok, and I slowly but surely roped myself into their places. I believed I was a catkin at first, until I felt my first phantom shifts - fins and a toothy jaw. I was shocked, but came to the conclusion that my origins lie within dragonhood and so, I pronounced myself a dragonkin. I believed I was a black wyvern, but overtime, I had found out more about this true form.
I had found my long tail, wings and fins, but lack of horns and other defining dragon traits. For a while, I believed I was green and that I lacked limbs. Then all of a sudden, I imagined myself with four wings. My phantom senses were very confusing, shifting from wings where my arms are to my back. I suppose that at the time, my form was taking its shape. Something neglected awakened inside of me and was adjusting to my physical vessel. After all, how are dragon proportions supposed to be projected on a human body?
To this day, I do not have a recollection of any memories about phantom shifts, so I believe they were entirely self indulgent. Though one thing is for sure - my not yet diagnosed autism, or at least its symptoms, has always made me stand out in groups. Not in the way one would like. I was an outcast, a black sheep, often 'the' target of any activity. Now or before, I was always a loner, I never belonged, and eventually, that is when I'd discover that being one with the reptilian kind felt more comforting.
I am a lizard. A myth, a dragon. Something that is not meant to exist, but does so. In ways that it is possible - a psychological, self-indulgent way. My identity started as 'voluntary' - I was a copinglink, until something grew onto me and I could never get rid of it.
But was this something that latched onto me one day and never left? Or did I unbury a part of me that I have walked over for years?
That is what I wish to discover.
