Alternate Fursonas

How many of you have more than one fursona?
Do you alternate between different fursonas (depending on mood or current experiences perhaps)?
Do you have fursonas that once meant a lot to you but have since been made redundant in favour of another fursona?

I only ask because of a reply I received from [livejournal.com profile] chakatstreak  in one of the topics below.

To me, Lupestripe has only ever been one fursona and although he migrated from being pure wolf to wolf/husky hybrid, the characteristics have stayed the same. The fun-loving, bouncy canid with a penchant for being pink and floofy is how I would like the world to be and I project this through my fursona. Equally, I project the person I want to be through it too - bouncy, happy, carefree and liberated from the many problems that life tends to throw our way.

I guess this is similar to that of a lot of furs but if you have more than one fursona, what does this mean? Do your different fursonas represent different aspects of your personality? Do you connect to them spirituality? Are they representations of your dreams and what you hope to be (or what you hope the world to be)? Or is it simply because you can empathise with more than one creature and like the variety?

With me, I just want to be a canid. I feel empathy for the species, I like their general attitude and I think they are goddarn cute. Life would be so much simplier if I was a dog. Everyone has a different relationship with their fursona though. What's yours?

Until the end of October last year, I had just one. That's my green and blue dragon. Since then, I've added 2 more fursonas, based off of my personalities. I have a husky/wolf hybrid named Ty Husky, and a furry dragon named DJ.

Ty is half pink, half brown, and is an experiment gone wrong. He's 80% husky, 20% wolf. Simply put, he was a brown wolf that wanted to be a pink husky. Through a genetic alteration process, he almost got what he wanted. He wears a biopaw tattoo (my own creation) that signifies that he survived this painful experience. The personality he represents is "Risk Taker." I put my life in danger a lot.

DJ is a black and blue furry dragon that loves music. He is a DJ and loves lots of Dance, Club, Rave, etc. styles of music. He's always seen wearing headphones and carrying something like an iPod. His paw pads are neon green, with neon green swirls appearing near his paws. He also has a silver mane that runs from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. He represents the music loving side of me.
