About Me​

Hey, I'm Dakota, but pretty much everyone calls me Kota. I'm originally from Florida, spent a few years living in Texas, and eventually packed up my life and moved to San Andreas for a fresh start. I'm the kind of person who believes life is too short to stay in one place forever, even if starting over is terrifying. These days you'll usually find me exploring the city, chasing new opportunities, or taking my Shitzu Vader out for a ride whenever I need to clear my head.

I'm genderfluid, so how I present myself depends entirely on how I'm feeling that day. My natural hair is a short brunette cut with shaved sides—it's comfortable, low-maintenance, and feels the most like me. On days when I'm feeling more feminine, I love throwing on one of my wigs and switching up my style. For me, it's never been about trying to fit into one box; it's about expressing whichever version of myself feels right in that moment.

I'm a hands-on person through and through. I'd rather spend an afternoon turning wrenches, fixing something that's broken, or learning a new skill than sitting around doing nothing. I love motorcycles, tattoos, late-night drives, iced coffee, and music that's just a little too loud. If my hands aren't dirty by the end of the day, it probably wasn't a very productive day.

One of the biggest reasons I came to San Andreas wasn't just to start over—it was to find someone who once meant a lot to me. Years ago, while living in Texas, I became close friends with Snow Worth before life pulled us in different directions. Even after we lost touch, I'd still check in on Snow through Yeeter whenever they posted. Seeing those little updates reminded me they were still out there somewhere. I'm hoping our paths cross again one day, but until then, I'm focused on building a life I can be proud of, making new friends, and seeing where this crazy city takes me.

If you ever see me around, don't be afraid to say hi. I might seem a little quiet at first, but once you get to know me, you'll quickly realize I'm fiercely loyal to the people I care about.

Loyal to few. Real with all.
