Hello! My mer-name is Karingan, and I am a German River Dragon. I am Non-Binary and prefer gender-neutral pronouns (them/they). I live within Portland, Oregon's main metro area where I was born. I've been a swimmer my whole life, and my favorite creature is the sea serpent.
I first saw mermaiding years ago on an internet article, and thought for sure that a weirdo like me couldn't be included. I love mermaids, but I wasn't sure I wanted to -be- one.
More recently, on a Facebook article about a woman who got married as a mermaid, I voiced that I would have loved to get into it more, and other community members pushed me to go for it. It was so nice and welcoming!
Now I have a design in mind and a plan to go forward with it! I bought a Finis Aquarius monofin and I'm gonna be working on my ensemble including my first tail!
My inspirations in the mer-community include Mermaid Courtney and Mermaid Faith (from FaithontheBass). I am certainly a nerdmaid (nerdragon?) In addition to being a serious crafter. I used to own an etsy shop called DragonCraftsDen, but health issues made me stop.
Anywho, if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask! And thank you for including me in this lovely community!

And a picture of me, why not?
