She was studying Japanese at Uni, and I am 90% sure she was writing fan subs for Death Note, as it was coming out.
Another solid data point for my “horse girl to elder emo pipeline” theory. My working theory is that all horse girls eventually evolve into (at least) one of the following two groups: Elder emo girls, or tail girls.

Ok, I am not familiar with either ‘elder emo girls’ nor ‘tail girls’.
Elder emo girls does not make sense to me at all, because emo girls are essentially the exact opposite of horse girls.
Horse girls learn how to do things, many things, practical things, and be good at them.
Emo girls are angsty, and make bad poetry or art, then usually either phase out of that, or transition into rave/scene girls, develop serious problems, and then basically work in retail the rest of their lives, with few exceptions… maybe a few become tattoo artists or become actually halfway decent at some other kind of art.
Perhaps you are thinking of elder goth girls?
Not the same thing as emo, not even close.
Tail girls?
I… do you mean a furry, some kind of anthro/humanoid type person?
No, I’ve never known a single horse girl that became or also is/was a furry or puppy girl or anything like that, again they tend to be extremely practical and utilitarian, they tend to be fairly domineering, task/goal oriented.
They just also have eccentric hobbies/interests.
They do not need to fantasize an alternate identity as an animal, because so much of their lives involve very real and often traumatic experiences with animals, so they understand them in a much more grounded and realistic way.
