Hi all, I'm Kitty and I'm 34 from Canada. 🇨🇦 I'm female and I have Aspergers which I was diagnosed with 20 years ago. I'm also ace. I work part-time at a credit union and I've been there for 12 years as of this September; I love it and the people I work with!

My main interests, pop culture wise, are Marvel (mainly Iron Man), Sailor Moon, Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls, and my new Nintendo Switch which I just got at the beginning of the year. I'm really excited for Animal Crossing! 😻 I also really love the Japanese characters called Sumikko Gurashi and Kokoro Araiguma.

Going to Japan has been on my bucket list since I was 13, so in November I pulled up my socks and started to study Japanese. 私の日本語はちょっと下手です。(My Japanese is a little poor). I don't know what possessed me to choose to learn one of the most difficult languages on earth FOR FUN but there you go. I use an app called HelloTalk to chat with native Japanese and it's really fun making friends from other cultures. If you're studying any language at all I highly recommend it!

My favourite animal is the sea otter and it's about time we got a sea otter emoji. 🦦 I don't have pets of my own anymore but I used to have a cat named Cleo. I miss having a furbaby but now I just collect plush toys from Japan.

I'm excited to be here and to sprinkle some random acts of kindness to everyone. :D
