Forever In Philly

General
My boobcat just left and is gonna return to Texas tomorrow. So, in my depressed pathetic sorrow, I stole this from
KeilidhBee to try and distract myself. Though, tbh, I have been searching for a fursona meme. There are very few good ones out there...
1. Do you and your "fursona" look alike?
As much as a human can resemble a hyena and vice versa, I'd say so yes. Our hair is a little different (mine is long and set back in a ponytail, while hers is comparatively short) and she's missing my glasses. Plus I don't have any sort of cool looking robot pieces of anatomy. But beyond that, we're pretty much the same. I even tried to give her a similar shade of brown fur to match my skin tone. I keep trying to work my back scar into her design but it never works out. All of my rage.
2. Do you and your "fursona" share attires?
When I draw her in clothes, yes, they are usually my clothes that I actually own irl. Mostly because I am a terrible fashion designer and it's simply easier to swipe the clothes I happen to be wearing at the time. x3 But I also happen to like most of my clothes, so it works. Avy and I are both very much tomboys.
3. Do you share the same sexuality as your fursona?
Yessum. Can't imagine why we wouldn't. Both of us are technically asexual but biromantic. But both of us hate making something so emotional so technical sounding, so if you asked us we'd either say we're pan or bi, even though sex honestly squicks us. :/ Avy is probably a little more sexually secure than I am, come to think of it, but only because female spotted hyenas cannot be raped for anatomical reasons, so she has less to fear. And she does have normal spotted hyena anatomy, if you were wondering about that.
4. If you changed your fursona to be more like you, how do you think he/she would look?
If I changed Avy to be more like me? Um... Well, she'd really just need to lose the cool eye and most of her lighter markings... and grow her hair out into a ponytail. But all of these are minor details, I've always found. I don't even like my ponytail and plan on cutting it off irl, next time I get the chance. So she probably doesn't even need to change the hair. Just lose the robot eye, change her eye color to black-ish brown, and give her a darker complexion, and I'd bet you'd be set.
Though if you really wanted her to look like me, you'd have to make her human before anything else. x3
5. Did you work hard to develop your fursona? What is the (brief) history of your fursona?
Who doesn't? x3 I went through a period of rapid crazy revamps before I finally got my boobcat to design a fursona for me that matched my personality without my perfectionism getting in the way. Took us quite a long time to get it all right. But we did, and I am forever grateful. <3
6. Do you and your fursona share relationship status?
Naturally. Single and very ronery. Trying not to worry about it until after college.
7. Do you find yourself jealous or upset if you get paired with someone you don’t like or your partner does?
.....wat? I don't have a partner first off, and second off, if I did, why would anybody pair me with anyone else? That doesn't make a lick of sense. x3 So, no. I wouldn't get upset, if we made this hypothetical. I'd just be really confused. If a pairing is already established, why change it?
8. How would you like your character NOT to be used?
Well, porn jumps out as an answer to this. As I mentioned before, neither Avy nor I like even the concept of sex, so drawing her in porn is no way to earn brownie points. But, in a more likely scenario, I don't like people using Avy in those stupid little animated series that you see floating around Youtube. Those series are always about some pack of wolves or dogs going on some epic adventure, fighting dragons or something crazy like that. And, since Avy is basically me as an animal, and I am far from epic in any context, I find those types of things very... out of character. Avy's a coward- stubborn, but a coward, there's no way she could randomly fight a dragon. She'd probably piss herself. More importantly, she's a hyena. What she has to do with wolves or dogs is a mystery to me... Dogs, maybe. I do like dogs, and she does have a dog form. So that might work... But most people aren't smart enough to think that far ahead with these things. They just herpderp her into their crazy magical storyline and it ends up looking and sounding ridiculous.
But I do not disallow it. Even if I don't think it makes any sense, people are free to use Avy however they please as long as they credit me for it. Well... except porn. Can't really excuse porn. >.>
9. What’s your fursona’s specialty?
Does herping and derping count? x3 I sometimes play around with the idea of her being able to control fire. Symbolic of my crazy uncontrollable emotions. But, I'm not really a fan of random magic so I might make it a dream/nightmare thing that only happens in her mind, and not for real. Either way, it does more harm than it does good, so I doubt I can call that a specialty... She can shoot? I'm good at shooting games. :3 Never shot a real gun before though so... idk. Let's stick with herping and derping.
10. On a scale of 1-10, how much are you and your fursona alike?
Um... idk. 8 or 9 maybe. We're pretty similar, I'd say. Just she's an animal, and I'm a human. That's about the only major difference.
So that was boring. Gotta find some other ways to waste time.

"When I draw her in clothes, yes, they are usually my clothes that I actually own irl. Mostly because I am a terrible fashion designer and it's simply easier to swipe the clothes I happen to be wearing at the time."
I am also guilty of this, can't come up with clothes to save my life. And if I'm not doing this, I consult google.
I may steal and do this one. x3
...come back to Norbrook? 8D; xD
Regardless, this is so interesting. I should send you a picture that I drew of Avy, haha. Though I really do like how you purposefully have a fursona who is like you. I see so much fursonas running around and then meet them in real life and have to wonder "WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN COMMON?! D8<" Annnyhoo... I enjoyed reading your fun facts. :3
