Although I split design aspects of this ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1188598/ ) character like half a year ago... I never really sat down to draw them out.

I did it for several reasons, one of which being the fact that it looked too much like another character, causing some confusion. And by that I mean a few thought I was drawing THAT character. Although I talked it out with the owner and everything ended well I still felt a change was needed. Another reason why I split the design is because I liked the results of one particular experiment... results that couldn't be used because it ended up feeling like a different character altogether.

This one retains much of the surface elements (including the markings, scar, hair, and "finned" tail) as well as the gender identity issues which I find particularly interesting. Although she is biologically a female, I may draw this character as male (like in this drawing, done for Onta's http://www.hardblush.com/ ). Nothing that happens in this state should not count as canon though.

The only real difference is that now her race is set in stone (ie colour swap). She is a hybrid otter... the hybrid parts coming from the long, finned tail and the light markings. Also, her goggles now serve a purpose as do her arm covers and leggings (which are webbed now). I hope it's obvious but water plays a big part here.

Although similar... it is not the same.
