WHAT CAN (but doesn't have to) BE FERAVELI?

- Dressing up in what you think fits your chosen aesthetic (example, a forest feraveli might choose to dress fairycore because they thought it matches forests/foresty aesthetics or vibes.)- Dressing up "as" your chosen aesthetic for fun, like cosplay (example, a forest feraveli who dresses up forest-y for events like conventions, or just occasionally for fun. This includes feravelis who consider animal masks, tails, ears, quadrobics, etc as a part of their aesthetic.)- Liking rooms/decorations that remind you of your chosen aesthetic (example, I have a lot of pictures, plants, crystals and decorations in my room because it reminds me of nature and/or animals.)+ A lot more! Feraveli isn't supposed to be "limited" to anything. As long as you enjoy the aesthetic of animals and nature, you can call yourself a feraveli. No matter the "extra steps".

As long as it fits into the definition.Do I have to like nature/animals to be feraveli?- No, liking the aesthetic is enough for you to be feraveli.
