Finally this is done! I have worked on this for soooo many days now, but I am really proud of how it came out and the work I put into this.
What can I say aside from Dakota has become an incredibly important character to me. She's become more than just a cool dinosaur chick I wanted to make. She became the character I could explore safely the strong female side I've always pushed down and could never connect with. I'm an asexual woman, and it's something that I can never grow out of...but with Dakota, I can try and let my mindset sort of 'roleplay' what a very sure-of-themself woman would be. A go-doer, someone who takes what she wants, who has her flaws and embraces them. She has my teasing side, but takes it to a whole new extreme. She's not shy about talking about what she wants, but also has no holds on her fury.
She unleashes and goes at life with all that she has. If she falls she gets right back up with more determination and, most of the time, a clouded frustration and anger that I sometimes have, but more often than not I just curl up.
She's the kind of girl who would beat up school bullies and protect the under dogs, but in a gentle teasing sort of way. "Aw cmon, you could have totally taken those guys! Wipe the snot from your nose."
It's been very liberating and interesting to explore her mindset with the all 'no holds bard' sort of thing. Experience! Do!! Fail and try again till you SUCCEED. She's really an amazing character I hope to bring forth and explore more.
You could say she's given me an odd confidence in life. IDK. It's nice.
And it's also really nice to not be afraid of female sexuality and explore it with a character that DOESN'T have to have strings attached to me in a personal representation sort of way.
IDK man. I just really love her.
Her flat chest is also important to me. I've always been insecure of my chest, I hated it and the unwanted attention it would draw, or expectation it had people put on me. She's free of that, and proves you don't need a huge chest to be a sexy female. I love how she can break down borders.
I really cannot wait to invest more time, love, and art into her.

This character is awesome. You're not the first person to use an an alter-ego to take the first steps out from shyness and seclusion.
I've noticed a recurring pattern where people who aren't natively confident about socializing and seduction often have to build that persona for themselves. Of course, outside of the furry community the persona doesn't usually come with a full character to represent it, but it happens just as much. Hope your explorations go well and your character tempts some fans to explore a few new facets of themselves!

Not to sound cheesy or corny, but I'm really happy you find solace and pride within Dakota. It really shows in the way you draw her as well as all the love you put into her. I still think you can be a strong woman despite you being asexual. I mean, I would consider some of the things you already do as strong properties. As for the flat chested part, I'm not really big on breasts and it is really cool to see that Dakota gives you that strength as well. I really like Dakota a lot, not only cause if her cool looks, but personality also ^^
