Hi everyone :)

What name do you want to be referred to as?
You can call me Lexie.

What is your 'kin type?
My 'kin type is a form of fae. Somewhat similar to the Leanan Sidhe.

How long have you been awakened?
Technically my awakening proper started back in 1997. However I feel my re-awakening in 2005 is a closer reflection to where I am in life.

Describe your awakening experience.
If I had to choose a single word to describe it I would probably use bumpy.

I have always had a very strong connection with the fae but awakening itself was a gradual process. I started off with the feeling that there was more to the world and collecting everything I could on the paranormal through my early childhood. I found the online world in 1997 and started doing research through those sources as well.

I started identifying as fae back in 1999 through my exposure to the new age community. At the time I originally used the term elf. As my awakening progressed I eventually determined that I was not like elves as far as I could tell and took to the term fae. Eventually I fell into a period of repression for a few years as I tried to integrate the memories/experiences I had and come to terms with conflicting beliefs/information.

Things started to re-awaken for me a lot more forcefully around 2005-2006 and I've been continuing down that path since.
