A Nya (noun) is a person who, unrelated to the Furry community, finds themselves comfortable being described as a
cat-girl or a
cat-boy. Nyas act very much like
cats, sometimes purring or meowing at the slightest gesture of affection given to them. Nyas, however, do not wear fursuits, but they do enjoy collecting
cat-ear headbands and
cat tails that they find expresses themselves the most.
Nyas are very playful and sweet, constantly worrying about their friends and wishing them the best of luck when something doesn't seem to go right.
Nyas also sometimes have
cat-like reflexes or the attitude of a kitten. They will "nya" at you in loving or annoyed manners, sometimes not even realizing they did so.
Nyas will be sometimes found playing Vrchat in a
cat-person avatar, or walking the streets with their
cat-ears on.
Don't discriminate against a Nya, they just want to be accepted and appreciated for who they are!
