Cape Girardeau Central student Marisa Fields transforms into Zipper, an original character she created as part of the furry fandom, during the inaugural Cape Anime Con on Sept. 22, 2019, at the Arena Building in Cape Girardeau. Fields said she has been a part of the furry fandom for about 5 years, and the community helps ease her social anxieties. "I'm more comfortable outside whenever I'm in-suit, because I don't have the constant glares straight at my face. They're just staring at a mask covering me."
