Fursona vs Character
17 years ago
Welcome to the journal nobody reads. Why should they, after all?
Anyway... I've been thinking of what kind of "Fursona" I would have. And what I've come up with to represent myself isn't me at all. It's more of a character that I can roleplay, should I wish to have something to use as a voice.
But is that what a Fursona is? Do people say that their Fursona is them in fur, or is it just a character that they too use as a voice when they need one? What I've seen confuses me, it appears as if different people will give different answers.
I have no desire to use a Fursona that isn't me, and have people think that I'm just like that character. Or have them get upset when I point out that knowing that character isn't the same as knowing me. Maybe "Fursona" isn't the right word for this, but what would I call such a character then?
Maybe I should just refer to it as my Stand-In character, or something similar. Any of you chirping crickets out there have any suggestions?

Now, RPing characters are different... they are simply that, a Character that you act out. Like an actor playing a character, That character they are playing is not them. When the movie is done they are not that character any more. A fursona is YOU but in what ever form you imagine yourself in...
Does that make any sense? or did I just turn people's brain to mush?
heheh all according to plan....
Thinking like that, the character I've been thinking of is still a character, just one that I share some things in common with.
I still need to think of a fursona.
So what do you see yourself as?
Mouse.
A very small, somewhat odd mouse, but still a mouse.
