Fursona curiousity and a quick word.

Hello everyone! How have you all been? For me, college gives me quite the workload, but I'll survive (for now). I hope everyone had a great and happy Halloween! :D This is just a random journal for my pitiful attempt of being more active on FA and my lack of scanner. I just wanted to ask everyone who reads this, "How did you or what inspired your fursona to be the way he/she is now?"
Warning, rambling mode: For me, Larc and Leif came from a story I originally had in my head but never wrote it out (well, the first two chapters have been written, but they're pretty poorly written out). The story was about the ancient myths told in another perspective (I'm a big mythology nerd). In Norse mythology, Fenrir gets a sword stabbed through the bottom of his muzzle, so I added an X-shaped scar to remind him of what happened to him. But Larc was based off of Fenrir in my story (Fenrir is going to look different now so he won't look like Larc if I ever decide to re-write the story). I made the spear as Larc's main weapon choice because in the story, Fenrir looks up to Odin and wants to be just like him while he was living with Tyr. So he wanted to use a spear as his weapon. His name comes from one of the characters in Legend of Mana who was named Larc and he was my favorite character. So I named my fursona Larc after him and I gave him the last name Wildfang.
Leif was based of the Teumessian Fox, not a very famous monster in Greek mythology. The Teumessian Fox was sent by Dionysus to Thebes to punish them for some crime that had been committed. The fox could never be caught until Amphitryon came up with the idea of sending the dog Laelaps, who was said to be able to catch anything. Zeus found out that this created a paradox and turned both Laelaps and the Teumessian Fox into stone. In the story, he wonders why people pick on him for being a "monster." He has a pendent given to him by his mother that prevents him from being captured. Dionysus will appear to him and teach him how to fight while persuading him into attacking Thebes. As he begins to be chased by Laelaps, he is driven to the ends of the earth where he finds a portal leading to where Fenrir lies. I gave him the name Leif because I always liked that name and his middle name creates a pun for my last name so it sounds like "Leif Swift Win."
Anyways, that's how my fursonas came to be. My story also included Asterion (aka the Minotaur) and Horus. But anyways, how did you guys create your fursona? I am just curious how other people came up with species, design, and names. :3
And in other news,
Bacent 's mother is in the hospital for a low white blood cell count due to chemotherapy, so if you actually took the time to read this journal, please keep his mother in your prayers and in mind. I would really appreciate it if you do.
