Cassowary

Unpredictable, isolated, and dangerous when cornered or provoked.

Christine Chandler, the internet-infamous creator of Sonichu, is a deeply misunderstood outsider whose life has been marked by social isolation, fierce defensiveness about her identity and creations, and explosive, erratic behavior when provoked or manipulated. Like the cassowary — a creature that appears eccentric and harmless until threatened, then becomes genuinely dangerous — Chris Chan has oscillated between vulnerable creative expression and shocking, boundary-crossing actions that stunned even longtime observers. The cassowary's reputation as a solitary, unpredictable creature that doesn't fit neatly into any social order mirrors Chris's tragic and chaotic place in public life.
