Creating a fursona and roleplaying online helped me discover who I am in so many ways. These days, it's less a persona, and more of an aesthetic avatar that represents the real me. I am no longer a sassy subby bitch with fae blood who dabbles in dark magic, but I still think the bearish switch white tiger persona with which I try to represent myself is part of my identity.

Wow, that was really insight-fully done :) Kudos to them ^_^ And as much as Gearlock is a great looking and rounded out character, it's best for a 'fursona/persona' to have them reflect you to the core ^_^ Original Characters are best for the random fun n all :p
