Fatin

Fursona that Fatin tends to go by online

Going by the username **@the\_skysurge** on many social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter, Fatin is a Malay artist mostly posting art of things she likes. She was born on October 24, 2001 and hails from the small sunny island of Singapore. She joined the Jerma Enjoyers group chat during its first week of inception, accustoming herself to other fans of Twitch streamer Jerma985. She dislikes telling online strangers her full name because of privacy issues and the fact that she thinks it is embarrassingly long.

She is known for the art that she posts on Jerma's official Discord server, Twitter and Instagram. She is also one of the insane people who have created plushies of Jerma, allowing his spirit to possess the plushie and torment her at night. She has a Jerma OC which is surprisingly *not* a catboy Jerma variant, but a variant of Jerma himself as a K-pop idol.

## Background

As a child, Fatin developed an interest in drawing. She has maintained that interest for many years, helping her get through Singapore's primary and secondary school systems. In her young adult years, she enrolled in a local polytechnic in Singapore where she graduated with a Diploma in Digital Animation. To this day, she uses her knowledge during her polytechnic days to create animations and art that she enjoys. She also has a small talent for making plushies. She has so far created plushies of K-pop idols, creatures and Jerma985.

Her childhood was average, playing at playgrounds with other kids and spending time with her family. She is the eldest of three kids, with two younger brothers. This attributed to her tendency to like 'boy's things' such as action figures and games. She also has a tendency to say questionable things, partially due to her main friend group consisting mainly of guys who are almost degenerates.

### Past Troubles

Despite her quiet and friendly demeanour online and in person, Fatin has faced many troubles at a young age. They began with the passing of her maternal grandmother at the age of 12. What made it worse for her was that the passing of her grandmother was exactly two days before her birthday. Even as the years go by, she has had trouble celebrating her birthday because of this memory.

As she entered secondary school in 2014, she had become a more reserved teenager. During her lower secondary years, she made friends with the boys in her class. Some of them stayed her friends until she graduated from secondary school, while others turned into her bullies. At first, it started as a harmless joke after some of the boys noticed Fatin scratching her arm due to a rash and decided to mock her. As the weeks go by, it turned into verbal and psychological bullying. One of the nicknames given to her by her bullies was **Ebola**, due to the fact that the boys would deliberately avoid touching anything that she touched. She had begun to become ostracised from most of her classmates when she was 14, only being able to find solace in the students from the so-called 'worst' class of her cohort. One of the things that stuck with her to this day is when her secondary 2 classmates held a class barbecue and refused to invite her, even resorting to returning her money and telling her she was not wanted.

She was finally free from most of the bullying when she got into her desired class with the subject combination she wanted. By this point, she had begun to feel relieved, but also had a creeping sensation that something is no longer right with her brain after enduring a whole year of bullying. Nonetheless, she was happier than she used to be. She still spends time with the students in the 'worst' class as one of her best guy friends is there. She also made more guy friends in the new class, even roleplaying with them as Singapore's government at the time.

Fatin graduated from her secondary school in 2017 with a better class than she had at 13-14 years old.

## Interests

Ever since secondary school, Fatin has developed a love for rock and pop-punk bands. It has even crossed over into the Korean language with k-bands.

Aside from listening to music, Fatin also is a musician herself. She loves to play the bass, her bass being named Vigilante, named after a lyric in Green Day's "She's a Rebel". She has a proclivity for anything related to creation, as seen by her ability to create plushies, 3D models, illustrations and animations.

Fatin also plays many games, mainly open-world games like Skyrim and MMORPG games like Maplestory. She doesn't spend as much time in games as she used to, but she may spend hours at a time playing her modded Skyrim. Most of her time spent gaming is spent playing Genshin Impact.

One of Fatin's current main interests is Jerma985. She began watching him in April 2022 after she saw the art of him in r/place. She has actually seen clips of him when they were sent by her friends in 2021 but she never got around to watching him. Now, she is one of the active Jerma fans on Twitter, posting art of him along with her ambitious Jerma plushie project.
