Hey, I'm Jitterbug! I use any pronouns. I kinda just exist and vibe but I'll give you a bit of info about myself. I'm a mother of 2 amazing kids. We live in outback Queensland in the middle of nowhere where the nearest grocery store is a whole hour away and we hear a rooster crowing outside of our bedroom window every morning!

I'm a massive fan of WoW and if you talk to me about that I'll literally be your best friend forever. (... Not that you'd have to try that hard to be my friend haha!) You'll never find anyone more obsessed about Spyro the Dragon in your entire life possibly.

I've got some really cool IRL collections including Spyro, WoW, Uranium Glass, RuneScape etc that I'd love to show you all! Oh yeah, here's picture of my sons Harry and Porridge!

My DMs are always open and I'm always up for a chat so let's be besties. c:

EventideFox (Admin)

Heya! I’m Vix (she/they)

I’m a prolific video game enjoyer, everything from mmorpgs to petsites. If I’m not on Santae, I’m probably at work as an ER nurse, or taking care of my small home zoo! (I have six pets, it’s hectic lol)

Feel free to reach out with questions, concerns, compliments, or to see pictures of the aforementioned zoo of pets!

Gutshot (Admin)

Hiya! You can call me Angel or Pilot, he/it. Please feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns and I'll be happy to help out!

When I'm not haunting various online spaces, I can be found drawing, playing video games or attempting serious photography with moderate success. I'm in university for art restoration and conservation. Please feel free to talk to me about old anime, contemporary art or horses :]

Lacilia (Admin)

Hello, I'm Laci!! I go by she/her pronouns, and I currently share a home with my two Great Danes, Rowan and Luna! When I'm not busy catering to their respective whims I spend my free time reading, writing, drawing, or playing video games. I've been obsessed with animals since I was a kid and I've played a ton of virtual pet sites throughout the years, so I'm super stoked to be here with everyone!!

I check Discord throughout the day and my DMs are always open, so if you ever have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat, please feel free to reach out!! ♥

Tea (Admin)

Hi there, I'm Tea! I am a tea loving English lady who lives by the sea. I have adored VP sites, and also general gaming, since I was a kid. I have a few of my own now and they are budding little gamers in the making themselves.

I have a Samoyed called Okami and often we are down the beach. Ask me about her and you will get an essay on her and a million and one photos.

I am always willing to help with any questions you guys have and I am always happy to chat! If you see me around, feel free to say hello!! 😄

Morrie (Senior Moderator)

Hey everyone! I am Morrie, you can call me Morrie or Morri. My pronouns are She/Her and He/Him. I am a Queer, Neurodivergent Nerd from South Australia, and I work in the Health Sector as a Respiratory Technician! I got Married in 2022, and am very excited about possibly starting a family in the near future. But, for right now I have two silly cats called Oolirajav (Onion King) and Kittywillow.

I am an avid Gamer, enjoying Destiny 2, Virtual Petsites, Pokemon, Skyrim and many other games. I found a sense of community and safety on VPS from a very young age and I really desire to help foster that same safety and joy that I had online here on Santae.

I enjoy Cooking, am a dabbler in Digital Art, Graphic Art and also Writing -- my sibling and I are slowly writing a novel together -- and I also play D&D intermittently. I have a selection of special interests, but I am known amongst my friends for knowing a little bit about everything. I am a sponge for knowledge and can talk your ear off about anything, if you give me the opportunity.

I pride myself in being direct, friendly and easily approachable, so please do not hesitate to reach out to me via SanMail or Discord (oversunn_morrie), if you need anything. I am happy to help!

Silvy (Senior Moderator)

I'm Silvy (she/her), nice to meet you! I'm a Mexican gamer at heart, so if I'm not on Santae or running errands, you can find me on my couch playing an RPG game! I also love listening to Japanese music, watching anime, and collecting Baby Groot merchandise on the side!

Feel free to reach out if you have questions, and I'll do my best to help you out!

Insectoid (Moderator)

Hi hi everyone! I’m Avisect (they/them), but feel free to just call me Avi!

I have a very long lasting love for all things art, video game, animal, and space related. I’m a REALLY big fan of anything that combines two or more or these, whether it be stunning art direction in a video game, speculative biology, space-themed sci-fi, or whatever other spins can be thrown at me. If it exists, I’ll probably be poking my head around it at some point.

You’re most likely to see me wandering around the Santae discord! If you have any questions or are just looking for a friendly chat, please feel free to reach out! Hope to see you around!

Jake (Moderator)

Howdy! I'm Jake (he/him). Excited to be on this journey with everyone!

If I'm not on Santae you can find me playing Xbox, playing with my dog, or replaying an old Pokemon game. If you ever need someone to chat with, feel free to send me a message :)

Nymph (Moderator)

Hi, I’m Nymph! I use she/her pronouns and love making new friends! If you see me around feel free to say hi!

I enjoy reading, traveling, music, the ocean, moths, festivals/cons, museums, and collecting art. I also like to dabble in graphics a little, but I’m still learning really. My heart has been stolen by my husband (2015), and 3 really cute rats named Winter (Siamese Albino Dumbo), Lucy (Russian Blue Dumbo), and Beatrice (Velveteen Dumbo).

I’ve been playing various petsites since 2003, and am so happy to be apart of the Santae team! My mail is always open if you need assistance, so feel free to reach out! Enjoy your Santae adventure!

remy (Moderator)

Hello hello, I'm Remy (they/she)! I've been playing pet games like this for a long time, my older sibling got me hooked on them when I was young so we could play them together!

I'm a huge fan of books, cozy games, music, and cartoons, and if you bring up the right one I will talk your head off about it for hours if you let me! I love talking about my animals as well, and I have quite the variety, but you're likely to see me talking about my borzoi, Roscoe!

My DMs both onsite and on Discord are always open, feel free to shoot me a message if you ever need assistance!

caligulas (Junior Moderator)

Hello! I am Caligulas (you can call me Cali or Avery) - I am 27 and use they/he pronouns. You may have seen me around other pet sites by the same username.

Kind of a workaholic, but in my spare time I like to read, write poetry, play videogames, and roleplay. I don't really have much to say about myself, but reach out if you want to get to know me- I'm always happy to make friends!

Always here to help if you need. Shoot me a message anytime!

Carby (Junior Moderator)

Hello everyone, my name is Carby! I am 28 and go by she/her.

I'm a gamer (Pokemon, Virtual Petsites, RPGs), animal lover (birds and mammals), aspiring digital artist located in the Netherlands. I'd love to talk in detail about any of these! I have ADHD so I may go into huge detail about anything that I find interesting and sometimes I completely zone out of existence because of a new hyper focus, please bear with me.

I love meeting new people, so please feel welcome to reach out and let me help you get familiar with this lovely community!

daedrahearts (Junior Moderator)

Hi I'm Daedrahearts! She/her. I'm an espresso obsessed Filipina Texan and a married mom of 2 humans, one dog (pitty lab named Capo), and a fish (betta named Giuseppe Stromboli).

If I'm not collecting plushies on Santae, I am usually playing an MMO or replaying an Elder Scrolls game for the millionth time! I've been playing pet sites since the early 2000's and have had a deep love for them for what feels like my entire life.

Feel free to message me any time!

Delotha (Junior Moderator)

Hello! I'm Delotha, or Del, and I am an elder millennial who currently resides the Ozarks are of the USA. I'm neurodivergent and queer (using they/them pronouns). I was initially drawn to Santae for the art and aesthetic, but very quickly fell in love with the community and overall atmosphere. I was late in the virtual petsite game, joining my first in 2015, but have developed a love for them nonetheless.

I'm super excited to be a part of the Santae team, and helping to make the community stay the wonderful, welcoming place that it is. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to reach out!

DrayMalfoy (Junior Moderator)

I'm Malfoy... DrayMalfoy. Hi! I am a 33 year old cat dad to four wonderful kitties: Bellatrix, Black Magick, Mischief and Mayhem. I am married to a wonderful husband, lassombra.

When I'm not doing all the activities on pet sites, you can find me reading and writing fanfiction on AO3 and fanfiction. I love all things art, be it digital or traditional, so please feel free to tag me so I can see yours!

My favorite colors are Purple, rainbow and anything dark/Halloween themed (red and black, orange, neon greens). My favorite themes are Halloween, Fantasy, and Egyptian. For topics: I love anything to do with Egyptian history, as well as Germany and it's culture. I love theme parks (roller coasters!), haunted houses and chilling out going to the movies. I also love anything to do with animals and pets. I'm sure you are sensing a theme by now 😉

I am a very pro-LGBTQIA+ user as a trans-masc individual. I truly believe that all are welcome regradless of religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity.

I will gladly welcome any DMs with questions about the site or even if you just want to say hi!

hedwig (Junior Moderator)

Hey, I'm Hedwig (or Belle), any pronouns. I'm a Filipino writer/artist based in Australia with a deep passion for (musical) theatre, games, and publications. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not named after the owl, though they are one of my favorite birds :3

Should you need any assistance, please reach out - the kettle's always on and whistlin'.

jaybiiird (Junior Moderator)

Hi, I'm Jay! My pronouns are they/them, and I live on the US's East Coast, putting me at an hour ahead of site time!

During the day, I work IT in a healthcare context, and I previously worked as a certified pharmacy technician! (If you'd asked me at 20 where I saw myself being in ten years, this is not remotely what I would have said LOL.) I've been playing on pet sites since I was a kid on Neopets, though I also enjoy many other video games on PC and consoles. If I'm not gaming, I'm probably knitting, writing, or reading. Or sleeping. I do like sleeping.

I have several critters, both furry and not, and you'll see them in the Discord's pet channel from time to time! If you ever have questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. :) I may not respond right away, but I promise I don't bite!

Muse (Junior Moderator)

Heyo, Muse here! My go to pronouns are they/them, but I'll respond to just about anything without complaint. I'm a sahm of two feral backwoods mountain kids who are on a never ending quest to find my last nerve. Throw an elderly Doberman (Link) and a GSD mix puppy (Sushi) into the chaos, and I'm basically running a circus. Wouldn't change it for anything though!

I've been addicted to VP sites since I was a wee bitty babe. AKA, when we got our first home computer all the way back in the 90s lol. If I'm not bopping around online from any of the many internet capable devices at my disposal, I'm off adventuring with the kiddos or dogs probably. Though sometimes I play video games or put together really big Lego sets; on the even rarer occasion I do random crafty stuff.

I really enjoy being helpful with any game I throw myself at, so don't hesitate to poke or prod me for whatever reason! I might be slow to answer if a child or dog runs into me first, but I will always do my best to be as quick as life allows. ^-^"

SanitizedBean (Junior Moderator)

Hi, I’m Axel! I go by he/they pronouns and I live in Oregon, USA. I’m currently studying marine biology and my favorite animals are Baikal seals. :) I do a lot of drawing, painting, and I absolutely love horror movies.

Because of college and other life stuff the hours I’m available on Santae/discord are very inconsistent, but I’ll always try my best to respond to dms on either platform within an hour or two at the max, unless I’m asleep. 😆

What originally drew me to Santae was the adorable art and the idea of getting to be a part of the community so early in its development. I’ve been a huge fan of various pet sites for ages, (Flight rising and wolf play are probably my favorites) and I’m extremely grateful to have the chance to be here as both an alpha tester and a staff member. <3

Please feel free to message me any time and for any reason, I love chatting with other Santae users!! 😆
