I wanted to do something showing off how my Fursona has evolved over the years, thus I made #SonaEvolution !!!
You can participate in this as well, just using the hashtag. Hopefully this catches because I would love to see others Fursonas and how they changed.

2008-2009:
I was a closet fur.
It started in my Junior year in Chemistry when a friend caught me drawing a blue wolf that looked like me. He kinda smiled all smug like: "Ooooh what's that." and embarrassed, I told him how I always saw myself as an animal stuck in a human body. Now, this was before Otherkin and Therian became a bigger thing that people knew about...so he said: "Oh, well, you might be a Furry." I had never heard this term before...it was weird to me. So, he explained it as such...he said a Furry was someone identifying as an animal on the inside, and their appearance in drawings and online reflects that animal as a personality or what was called a "Fursona". I had heard the term Furry and well, where I'm from, it did not often offer very many positive things. But he was right...while later I would realize I was more "Otherkin", I fit better as a Furry rather than just a regular person, and thus, I had this blue wolf that looked like I did, and she was winged because I always had dreams of flying. But like I said, I was a closet fur and it wasnt until much that I would be a bit more open about things.

2009-2014:
What can I say...I was still a closet-fur, but wasnt really feeling like my Fursona really matched me. Sure, she kinda looked like me, but she did not feel like I felt in my soul. Her looks were not supposed to be mine because that's how I looked as a human. So, I dove off the deep end and made her a new look. The blond hair looked way gross with the blue fur, so I changed it to a darker blue to make it all make a bit more sense. I changed her eyes to yellow to be more natural...and as I floated around different furry forums, I often got bashed because the winged wolves were too "cliche" and thus, I dropped the wings completely, even though it broke my heart. I was so angry that so many people bashed my character that I felt I had to win them over by giving my wolf a personality that wasn't me at all...suddenly Mia the Wolf became a badass Alpha Bitch that was flirty, sexy, but that also did not give two-shits about what anyone thought or said. This was favorable...but only by the cyber predators whose only goals was to try and yiff with a complete stranger. But, this character dropped off around 2010 and only appeared every once in awhile.
My ex hated the fact that I was a furry and thought it was really weird, so for the rest of my relationship with her, I let the character collect dust, not to show her face again until after our breakup in 2014 when I finally started to fully embrace the furry side of me again and really breathe life into her once more. But with this re-birthing I saw that this old Mia was still not a true reflection of the animal inside my soul. So, she would be changed again...

Part 2 coming soon!!!
