Fursona Evolution

[lupestripe]

How have fur's fursonas evolved over time?

I started off as a fox, then flirted with the bunny side for a bit. I then became a squirrel before finally settling on a wolf. I then became a more wolf/husky hybrid, which is where I have stayed ever since. Does this make me a fursona slut?

I initially wanted to be a fox but one of my friends was called Fox and he had bad personal hygiene so I rethought my character.

Also the pink was something else that evolved in time although I admit ever since I was 14 I wanted to have pink hair (I just didn't have the guts to dye it plus school and jobs kinda put paid to all that). In the early days of me joining the Fandom I had no idea what my fursona was going to be like - it was only at the Sheffield meet last June that I got the inspiration to go pink. It was then that my fursona was truly born.

I used to alter my fursona once every few months, sometimes experimenting with different species, sometimes just tweaking minor details. Probably due to my fondness for shapeshifting.

But then I nailed the species and general modifiers a few months agi, and I just recently settled on fur colouration - at last I'm complete! ^^

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...
