What does therian mean?
A person who identifies with or has a strong affinity for a non-human animal, often taking on aspects of that animal's behavior, appearance, or personality. This can be a form of role-playing or a deeply personal aspect of one's identity.
Example
"She's a therian who identifies as a wolf, and often goes on hikes to connect with her inner animal."
