In the Furry Fandom, some have Fursonas, characters that they create for themselves for different reasons. In my case ever since I was young I had dreams of this deer, who would follow me as I walked through a forest, or a clearing (the location doesn't matter). It became more important when I began to pray and meditate. Whenever I meditate and clear my mind I see the deer, he sits in front of me and just stares, or he stands next to me. Needless to say I have no idea what this means, but this deer has always been there for me. So I thought hey? he would make a great character because he holds personal meaning to me.
Like I said earlier, the fandom means different things to different people. I can take this deer character as far as I am comfortable with, I can simple play around as him at conventions... or I could dig deeper to find the meaning behind my eerie companion. Well I am not sure on either course of action. If this deer is a spiritual creature I want to be respectful, but I am also a fun-loving guy! So I gave him a dignified name to befit his stature... Percival. So there is born my creation, and I will likely build more onto him as I grow older.
What do you think your fursona is? Do you identify with any animal? is there a cartoon character that you created as a kid that you like? Do you find traits of certain species that appeal to you. Or are you simply interested in goofing off and finding the cutest animal to be at a con? its really up to you!
Hello, my acquaintance likes this deer. Thank you for your talent. Good bye for now.
