Some changes to Hunter
4 years ago
TL;DR: My deer character Hunter is a she now <3 and art with her will only be permitted if it's wlw.

I just wanted to write a little bit of an explanation about the updates on my personal character Hunter, since I'll be drawing her as a gal in the future and I know that might be confusing since a lot of people liked the character and got art with him in the past!
When I created this character, I was struggling with my gender identity and Hunter was a way for me to explore being a male character especially with the fursuit, I really enjoyed having the opportunity to express that and explore my gender this way. However, this past year, realising I was wrong about my sexuality and coming out as a Lesbian after thinking I was bi for so long, also made me accept myself as a woman and become more comfortable with my gender. I won't go into details about this, but as it turn out, my gender questioning was always directly linked to being wrong about my sexuality and I never realised that until now. It's the first time I feel 100% confident about my gender and sexuality and it feels great to not have to question myself every single day. Because of that, I also have no more interest in playing a male character but I am still very attached to this character and I was hoping that their own gender and sexuality could evolve just like my own did.
So yeah, even if this character was never meant to represent me personally but more of a fun confident alter ego that I enjoy playing, I would just feel more comfortable to have that character be a badass lesbian! I know that I don't really need to justify updating my own fursonas since they're very personal but since this character got so much love by this community (which I still really appreciate!) I wanted to at least offer some explanations. This change will make me feel a lot more comfortable wearing the suit and drawing this character in the future, and will hopefully make her feel more like a personal character again since I was starting to feel disconnected. I don't think I will be changing the name since so many people call me Hunter now, I don't want to add to the confusion and I think it still suits her anyways. And as for commissioning art from me with her, the rule stays the same as with my main fursona Skylar, wlw / lesbian art only.
Thank you all for understanding!
