We are actually right in the middle of the non carneval season
But what you can see behind me, has nothing to do with it
These people are wearing costumes the whole year from time to time
Because of that, they call themselves "Furrys" regarding the english word "furry"
They do sports, going to the cinema or just shopping
In Germany there are a lot of furry fans
Also in Dortmund
When they are coming, children are laughing
cuddling for poses and sometimes, they are just scaring people out of fun
But furries are also shy, especially when they have to show themselves without their costumes
At Nicolas' home, the 26 years old one makes an exception for us
The IT developer already developed his character 17 years ago
Back then just on paper, but since 4 years he owns a custom made costume
That he is running around as the blue wolf Keenora like almost every weekend,
was kind of unusual for his friends and family
"Of course it was kind of difficult to handle this topic in the public"
"Most of the people are like: Thats really silly, isn't it?"
"But when they actually see the reactions of the people,"
"they all agree with it and like it a lot! Keep doing it!"
Nicolas and three of his friends are evolving in Dortmund to their plush-characters
From now on, they are Keenora, Kimutiger, Berion and Werefox
The first cuddle-needy people are waiting already
and cannot stop being amazed
But there are also sceptics, especially from their own fluffy group
"Our main task is it, to entertain the people, especially the kids. Its funny for us and of course for them"
"Also, it helps us to represent our character. That we can say, here we are, thats how my character acts"
And when you see these pictures, you figure at the latest, how much he enjoys his second life as blue wolf
Even tandem-skydive-jumps are not wild enough for Keenora, also in a sports plane he braves the G-forces
The trend of Furrys is coming from the USA. There are a lot of conventions and parades with a lot of costumes.
These are totally customized and can cost up to 3000 €
Also in Dortmund the roleplayers find new fans
"Have you ever snuggled with so many pussys?" - "TOP right?"
"Thats awesome, isn't it? Great! Keep doing that! Stay awesome!!"
"I like that! I really like that!"
"Very nice. Way better than all those drunken people at the stag nights"
"This is way more harmonic!"
"I would take them with me immediatly! So sweet!"
"But I think, they will get into good hands. I think so"
"We will take care of that!" - "Thats nice. I will also greet Berlin of you. Good bye!"
From a lawyer to an unemployed, there are thousands of Furrys connected in Germany
The anonymity of the fursuiters allows them to do more things, than in a normal life
Even if its just a wild attack to the next bakery
But is this a hobby with an end?
"Well, I am 26 years, but I'm sure, I will wear Kee for a loooong long time"
"Its just a lot of fun and its my thing"
"And it will stay like this forever"
Their mission is clear. They want to make fun!
Even as a journalist you are not save
And even that the view is not perfect and there are tropical temperatures under the fur
They are even turn up the beat after our long shootings
