My inspiration for Winter Fox came from the WDRB Snow Fox and Transmission character, Jason Glover. I wanted to originally make a son for Jason, he would be a grey fox with a white muzzle. I was originally going to name him Tyrone, because of a YouTube channel named TYR the White Fox. But when Mark Smith made a canonical character for Jason’s family, I decided to use him and the name that he gave him, Kieran.
