So far, I've gotten two suggestions that seem to stand out. The first one was quite popular: an Ethiopian Wolf. I like this idea, but part of me worries that she'd either be mistaken for a red fox still, or that she'd resemble my Basenji, but with a bushy tail.

The second one, and I have to admit to really liking this one, is to go with the silver fox idea, and give her grey hair. Older furs don't seem too common, and I'm pretty positive that I could do something with a sexy older lady character. Of course, I worry that she might not be as well-received as I'd like to hope.

Ideas?
