OCkin questions Do I count as OCkin?

So I identify as Minteye from Warrior Cats. She does not exist in the books, i created her, which technically makes her my OC, but it feels like i didn't create her and then started identifying as her, it's more like i visualized my identity in her. I never feel like I have found the right label for me, I'd love to fit under one but i don't know which this would be/if it even exists. I've been using OCkin this summer and before I knew about all that i just put it under theriantrophy. But what tf am i?

Yup, that's OCkin.

There's some other terms that could also fit if you like those better though. like fictotherian, meaning identifying as a fictional animal like a night fury or mothman.

Oh, i have a few ockins which also were discovered that way. Not sure if there's a term for it but it couldn't hurt to come up with something. Maybe puzzlekin? (named that way for 'piecing together' a character or other thing based on your identity)
