Fursona Meme :)
11 years ago
Seen at least a couple of friends here make one of these so I I figure I'd give it a shot :)
What is the name of your fursona?
Shane Mackenzie LaFleur
Where did the name of your fursona come from?
Wanted a name that would seem the male equivalent to Sasha LaFleur (from the All Dogs Go To Heaven series of movies and TV show). I picked the name 'Shane' out of nowhere and it just seemed to fit.
An interesting note..I did a search for the name 'Shane' online and I found out that it has a connection to my RL name. The name 'Shane' is based on the Northern Irish (ulster) pronunciation of 'Shawn' which is the Irish variation of the name that known in England as 'John' which is my real first name.
The 'middle' name was a holdover from a Balto fan character that was supposed to the brother to Jenna. When that character fell by the wayside, I added the name to give Shane a full name.
What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species?
Shane is a domestic canine.. a mix of both Irish Setter & Siberian Husky. I chose Irish setter because Sasha was one.. the husky part came from the Balto fan character that I decided to combine with the original Shane.
What color is your fursona and why?
Shane is mostly a deep shade of red with creamy coloration on the face and chest. The coloration is consistent with the original coloration of Sasha (noticing a pattern here? hehe) and the green eyes are mainly because green is my natural eye color.
What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your RL personality?
Shane generally is more outgoing than I am and very friendly and loyal but has a bit of a goofy side that he keeps hidden most of the time. I tend to be more reserved IRL until I get to know people..then I open up and am more like him. Shane generally doesn't let things bother him..too much..unlike me.
What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you IRL?
My baseball cap...the main reason he wears one is because I'm almost never seen without one on my head. It's not because either of us is hiding something..we just really like wearing them :)
What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet?
"You really need to get out there and show the world what you can do..don't be afraid of the unknown"
What is one thing you would say to your fursona?
"You have such wonderful, beautiful daughters..and did you know there's an otter girl staring at you with a dreamy look in her eyes right behind you?"
How has your fursona changed over the years?
When I originally created Shane, he was a four-legged purebred show dog with an overprotective, rich owner...he evolved into a family man (originally with lot of pups) and a wife. He was also originally Sasha's brother. Several years back, I switched him to an anthro character and added in a bit of husky (a holdover from my Balto fan character). I dropped the amount of pups he had to a more manageable 2 (tho the two I kept have the same colors and personalities as two of the original pups) and made him a single dad. The reasoning behind that is the original wife was a character owned by a very good friend of mine. There was a point I wanted to go in a more 'mature' direction with the character and I wasn't sure how my friend would feel if I used her character in those situations. Still working on what happened to his wife and mother of his pups.
I also dropped him from an ADGTH fan character to a more 'original' character to give myself a little more freedom when portraying him and the characters around him. He also went from very wealthy to more 'well off enough' so that his daughters will never go without.
How long have you had this fursona?
Shane has been around since 1996, right after the release of All Dogs 2. His first appearance online was in 2000 in a story that my friend (same one I mentioned earlier) wrote. The anthro (and mixed breed) form has been around for almost 10 years..I forget exactly when.
Would you like to be more like your fursona?
In many ways yes. I would like to be more independent and outgoing and be a bit better off financially. I would also love to be a father someday. But there is a lot of Shane in me. I'd like to think Shane would have the same wonderful friends that I've met along the way online.
I hope that's good enough *Hugs* If anyone wants to know more, let me know :)
