Remembering Vanessa Nekorina
14 years ago
*removes The Kitsune Cavalier's feathered hat and sobs a little*
Just before I left on vacation, i found out from an old transgender friend that my oldest close (online) furry friend, she was also a t-girl, took her own life on Sunday, April 10, 2011. *sighs* Vanessa Nekorina had been keeping in touch with me through the addictive medium that, after months of begging (on Yahoo Instant Messenger, where we met), got me to join: Second Life. Until I found out, I was only mildly curious why she wasn't talking to me. No one in her real life knows why she did it. Either she felt her life was going nowhere, someone in her online life hurt her badly, or some other factor that I could barely guess at. Whatever it was, it seems she took that secret with her. *sighs*
I would like to add her name to the list that will be spoken at this year's Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20th), but I don't know if she'd count as a victim of prejudice.
Update:
I shot this video at FurFright 2011, half a year after Nekorina's passing and I dedicate it to her:
