Pretty big change incoming
4 years ago
So bit of a story leading up to this.
I first discovered the furry fandom back in the summer of 2009. And even though I first joined FA in November of 2010, I had created the first iteration of Kumori before then. Apart from about 1 year since I had created him, I always had seen Kumori as my main fursona (And even then, that one year I had changed it was more because my boyfriend at the time liked the character in question more). Kumori has gone through about 5 or 6 iterations (Started as a pure wolf, then become a wolf/fennec, then a wolf/dragon, then back to the same wolf fennec so I don't count that as a different iteration, then a 5 tailed kitsune/fennec although you could argue he was pure fennec for a while between the last two although that wasn't long enough for me to consider it a full iteration, and now most recently a 9 tailed kitsune/fennec.)
Now why am I giving the history of what I have done with Kumori? Because for about the past week I've been thinking he may not quite be the correct fursona for me. In that I mean he is more of what I want to be than what I am. I had been discussing this with other friends before writing this out here and for the most part they were all in unison with saying to go ahead with the change.
So that being said, Troy Ryder, my jex character, is now my main fursona. Kumori is not going to vanish at all, at worst he will become a secondary fursona of sorts. The reason I picked Troy is because, while I didn't intend it when I first created him, he has a lot of same or very similar characteristics to myself IRL.
I don't know how everyone here will react to this. But life has just been telling me it's time for this change to occur.
Thank you to all who read this and I hope you all understand

Hey, you did what was necessary, I'm not mad

Hey, I know how hard it is to look in the mirror and wonder if my fursona really is the right fit for me. If that is how you feel and will make you happy with yourself, then more power to ya...either way, I'm still right here!
