Shapeshifting is definitely something I want to try but I am not sure whether I have the mental strength for it. Did you experience different fursonas to try and choose the right one or was it simply because you were undecided at the time? I experienced three or four before I joined the Fandom but I am not sure whether that would have been as intense or not as my wolf experiences inside the community. I always believed that before I joined the community I had to put my chips down and stick with a fursona, at least an animal. I was a wolf for the preceding two years so I stuck with that. I thought it was important as I wanted to be consistent, not only in my character but also in my name (a rabbit called Lupestripe would either be ironic or just plain stupid). The name came from the night I joined the Fandom. I must admit that had I known the likelihood of "Lupe" becoming "Lube", I may have reconsidered the name...
