I've had a few people ask me about where I got my name: Zephi (or Zephyr Nouveau on all other platforms), so here's the short-ish version...
Zephyr (or Zephyrus) was the Greek God of the West Wind, and wind has always been something I identify with. The only constant in life is that there is no constant. I learned at a young age to respect and embrace the fluidity, and to ride it for the sweet adventure that it is. Other than that, I have always been a nomad, or a gypsy, if you prefer. For example - I have lived in 5 different states and 9 different cities in the last 10 years for no other reason than to satisfy my need to keep moving. I feel more comfortable in the air, as opposed to in the water, feeling much more at home on top of a mountain or cliff than at the ocean (though, that may have something to do with being from Utah - which is the southwest, so I even relate to the "west" part of "west wind!".) And when I was younger, my dream job was to be a Flight Attendant (Ok, it still kind of is. I got shut down by nearly every airline because I was too short, and now I've got a family and too many tattoos).
Speaking of which, many of my tattoos surround this theme. On my sleeve (now completed!) I have a gypsy that represents me with (purple) hair blowing in the breeze (she even has a tattoo!
) and a traditional Danish Windmill that has obvious connections to the wind (but is also a tribute to my grandmother). In the clouds on my sleeve is the phrase "I'm in the wind", from the Minus the Bear song 'Hold Me Down'.
The definition of Nouveau is: "Fresh, new and different, often fashionably so", which was appropriate when I entered the modeling scene as there were already a few Zephyrs out there (and on here, hence "Zephi"). I have always prided myself on and have been inseparable from my own unique "style", so it seemed fitting.
Anyway, that's my name in a nutshell! Thanks for reading.

Myself, my handle comes from a) used to play the trombone in band and we called ourselves boners; say that too much around parents and they get upset so someone flipped it to renob and b) I've always been a big D&D/RPGer, hence the 'lord'. I know, not nearly as kewl as yours but it's fun when you find out the meaning in something.
