Why is your Fursona/Character What they are

General
So As a curiousness i wondered if other peoples choice in Animal and traits are as thought out as mine was. Since im sure that a vast majority of people choose an animal because "its their favorite" but when i look back on my own character theres so much more to it then just because foxs are my fave.
Now the initial start was like most, based on my fave Animal, a Fox which was reinforced by Fox Mccloud since Starfox is one of my fave series'. However i decided that it should be an Arctic fox as i enjoy and prefer the cold to hot weather. Now arctic foxs have small ears whereas Von has normal sized fox ears, this was based on the idea that i like to think im a very good listener i spend (well spent..) alot of time being a listening ear to any who might need to vent need someone to talk to or someone to help.
the mismatched eyes was just a mistake i made when i joined Second Life since it was the first time i could actually make a visual representation of my character and i just forgot to change one of the eyes and decided to keep it xp

My start was the same kind of thing, at least in a general sense. I knew I'd be wanting my OC as some kind of canine, and while I was originally leaning more towards a wolf I finally chose a domesticated dog breed because I'm partial to the traits they're known for such as loyalty and freely given companionship. The choice to make Cro a Blue Heeler was due to my fondness for the breed. They're known as very energetic and independent animals, naturally cautious towards strangers but very affectionate and protective of those its close to.
As for Chinook, when I was first deciding to get an OC made for Amber I knew it'd probably be a wild herd animal, since deer, antelope and the like are her favorite animals. The one I chose in the end was the pronghorn for a few reasons. The first is that it's indigenous to our area, so there was a sort of connection and exclusivity there. I also really love the fur patterns and coloration, and thought that would help her have a unique look. Lastly was that I wanted her character to sort of reflect her actual self, so I figured a very nimble, fast and light on the feet animal would suit her well.
