What is your Fursona's name?
Folgrimeo, same as my screenname, but I shorten it to "Folgy". Yes, I know the name looks like Folgers.

What made you choose the species of your main fursona?
There was no strong reason for it. For a long while I had no idea what species to stick with, I'd variously be a fox or rabbit or something else. Just whoever was fast, nimble, small, seeing as how that was my criteria for characters to pick in videogames. Once I got into Redwall and started having thoughts of joining the furry community, I decided I had to settle on one species. Well, I was trying to draw a squirrel at the time, and realized it looked slightly more distinct than the wolves/foxes I usually drew (once I drew a circle around the left eye, that was all that I needed), so I figured why not force myself to draw squirrels a lot by making that my fursona. It didn't become official until I met my pal Juniper, who had watched the Redwall TV series just like I did, and similarly had a fascination with the Gawtrybe squirrels in the third season. He had his favorite Gawtrybe squirrel, I had mine. Just so happens the one who won me over was a red squirrel with red circle-ish things around his eyes. Seemed as good a coincidence as any, and considering Juniper's fursona was a squirrel derived from one of the Gawtrybe, I would follow suit. That said, I was a fan of Watership Down beforehand (quickly forgotten once I dove into Redwall), and upon seeing the TV show a half year ago, I'm convinced I would have been a rabbit if I didn't see the Redwall show before. I've always had some strong appreciation towards cartoon rabbits, Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh being the shining example... it's just that I saw that Gawtrybe squirrel first, and by then I had drawn Folgy so much I couldn't switch.

Is your fursona just like you, or how you want to be?
How I want to be, which isn't that different from how I am, except for not having a fear of adventure or danger, free to express himself, and not getting lost when taking a single wrong turn. He'd be most at home out in a forest. Ranger Rick was the first furry thing I recall being introduced to and one of the most fond memories I have, so I suppose I'd want Folgy to live in a world like that. And I remember as a kid wanting to visit the woodland hideout seen in the show Fred Penner's Place. Folgy's essentially my inner voice, my online self, who I'd be if I didn't have reservations letting others know I'm furry. In real life I rarely talk. But when I met a fellow furry Hazel in person, we talked for hours. I was at ease, my talking style ("every post is a 7-paragraph essay") and beliefs at last matched how I express myself online.

Does your fursona have the same personality you have?
Yep, as I use him to represent myself. The more I talked to Juniper and got involved with the furry community, the more furry I started to act (more easily enamored by animals, maybe becoming a touch more feminine), so Folgy would subconsciously mimic that. Which is also why he gradually became gay, as my undeniable preference for gay furry art grew. It's strange, I don't identify as gay but those tendencies are very strong whenever I look at furry art/books/movies, I have yet to sort it out but I wouldn't be surprised if Folgy's ahead of me on that one.

Does your fursona have the same dislikes and likes as you do?
Yep, needless to say. Red pandas and raccoons, programming, Redwall, the color blue, Weird Al Yankovic, etc. For dislikes there's monkeys, most Will Ferrell comedies, golf (fine if it's a videogame, but it brings out the worst in me if I play it for real), strategy games, the face expressions you see on lip makeup products, and some other things.

Does your fursona look like you at all?
Not really, just about the only thing in common is we're relatively short (it seems he's been getting shorter and shorter in drawings). He doesn't share the slight belly I have, doesn't have the curly hair I have, and doesn't have a moustache. Plus he's a red squirrel.

Is your fursona the same gender as you, if not why?
Yep, male. Never saw the point in being a different gender, especially not after I've started to identify more and more male characters as cute.

Do you have more then one main fursona?
No. I've briefly thought about trying out an opossum, skunk, rabbit, or a mix of those, but I wouldn't make that switch unless I can actually draw it. I can't draw opossums to save my life, I'd probably draw a skunk just like a squirrel (which in itself looks like my foxes if you ignore the tail), and I haven't drawn a rabbit I could say could be me.

Do you have a back story for your fursona, if so does it have anything to do with your own history?
Nope. Just a squirrel who exists to act out what I experience.

Is your fursona mated, if so is it to your real life significant other?
Not mated, he's just as single as I am. But rest assured if and when that changes, I'd be assigning an animal to represent the other person. Since I draw animals and not people.

If not are they looking for a mate, or are they a swinger so to speak?
Not actively looking, and he wouldn't get the hint if a squirrel tailwrapped and kissed him like in The Sword and the Stone. But a swinger, no, he'd stick with one mate, just like I believe.

Is there something special about your fursona that you think sets them apart from others?
Not that I can think of. That circle around his left eye, I only chose that to say "you know that one's me and not a random squirrel I drew". I'm quite lazy at details. At first he had a grass skirt and necklace (to approximate the loincloth and collar thing the Gawtrybe squirrel had), but when I got tired of drawing them, they were dropped for good. But hey, if looking like the squirrel version of the Target mascot is unique among fursonas, then so be it.

Do you have much art of your main fursona/s?
Tons. I mean, before my extended ongoing period of no art (having a job tends to do that). I counted the number of times I've drawn Folgy (as of March '13), it was 171 pictures, in second and third place were drawings of Shaui and Juniper (39 and 25 pictures respectively).

Would you ever consider parting with your main fursona, if so why?
Not unless I get really attached to drawing a different animal, not just in having fun drawing it but also being able to draw a unique version that I could say is me. But if there is a next fursona, he will probably have rabbit ears.

If you suit, do you have a suit of your main fursona?
Don't have a fursuit and never felt like having one.

Have you ever roleplayed with your main fursona, or do you prefer not to?
Once, along with another person playing their fursona. And it felt so personal, like the fursonas failed to separate that it was us (probably since their personalities were the same as ours), that I preferred to not do it again. That'd probably be different once I get romantic with someone, but still, fursonas represent people to me. The strange thing is I maintain I have no personal connection to my fursona, toss him into a volcano and I wouldn't care. But if I'm roleplaying as him, that's different since we become one and the same.

Do you consider your main fursona to be a part of you in any way?
Only that he's convenient to represent me. Like I said above, you could turn him into a Shakespeare rapper and I wouldn't mind. I'd still draw him though, kept him around for so long that I don't feel like switching to something else. And if I have to express myself through art, something that I can't say out loud or am reluctant to admit, Folgy's going to be the one to say it.
