Hello!
Introverted furry, being grudgingly but somewhat willingly dragged into the fandom bit by bit. Just had my first commission finished tonight (a huge step) and I also have two other commissions in the wings. I will blend right in at this rate!
My fursona (i.e., what I would probably be like as an actual furry) is Forrest, an anthro male skunk. He faces several mental barriers that seem to not easily be broken, such as chronic shyness and embarrassment, the urge to be bisexual though his body seems to insist he is gay, and a general unwillingness to believe others can actually like him for who he is.
He wears a black ribbon in an effort to be more assertive (mentally, hiding his most vulnerable area -- his neck -- makes him feel more confident), though his tail can often do his talking for him if he really wants something. He tries to dress comfortably and smartly, often sticking to simple blacks and whites.
He lives a fairly boring life, working at a pharmacy by day and going home alone at night with nothing in between. He is largely straight-laced and terribly vanilla. (He is so vanilla he bathes with vanilla fruits).
Edit: And as of 10/10/2013 I have already requested two other commissions. Clearly there is something wrong with me.
Edit: 10/20/2013: So many commissions...
Edit: 10/26/2013: Updated Forrest's description. Now that commissions are rolling in, he is starting to feel pretty real. And that's awesome! ^_^

Nice to see another skunk around FA!
That whole introverted furry thing is all too familiar to me. Took me 3.5 years of lurking FA on another account before I finally decided to get some commissions as become social. And I've had a lot of fun doing so. :3
Welcome! I hope ya enjoy your stay and ya meet some good friends! :D
(And yay, skunks!)
Yeah, you have the few weird creeper furries out there. But for the most part everyone is pretty good and down to earth. :3
If you dont wanna be completely anti-social, you can note me and we can exchange IM addys. Alwyas good to keep a fellow skunk company.
