Folcintera /foʊk.ən.tɛɹə/ Noun.
Folk (People as carriers of culture; of or pertaining to the inhabitants of a land, their culture, tradition, or history) + inte (in, inside; based off of inter- between, amid, among, during, within, mutual, reciprocal) + tera (sign, marvel, wonder; divine sign, omen, portent; monster); literally
meant to translate to "The folks' monster" or “The monster within
folk(lore).
The unique experience of an individual who non-physically identifies as
an animal from or deeply intertwined with mythos/folklore; a person who
experiences a form of involuntary, intrinsic nonhumanity with aspects of
both animality and sapience, and which originates from or is personally
intrinsically tied to mythology, folklore, or other forms of cultural
legend. This nonhumanity is not a separate entity from the individual,
nor is it roleplay or another fictitious form of temporary
self-identification; it is interwoven with their “self” and impacts
their everyday lived experiences.
