been considering making a proper fursona recently, but i’m not sure what species(‘s) to pick. how did you pick yours? did it have to do with aesthetics, personality, or some kind of connection to that animal? all three? tell your story :)

I started as a wolf, because that’s what my username was (and still is) in many places and it was my favorite animal at the time. I then started to like fox features so became a fox/wolf hybrid. I then saw some nice art of mightyena (the Pokemon), and decided that I liked some features of that as well. I’ve spent the past month or so tweaking it and making a better mental idea in my head of what it looks like, so I think now it’s probably just a custom species rather than a three species hybrid.
I know there’s stereotypes about certain species (wolves being independent, foxes being very friendly and the like), but I never really paid attention to that while choosing. Although, now I’ve started personalizing it more, I’ve started to relate more to my species - we’re both disorganized messes. :P
But yeah, my advice is to just pick your favorite animal and see how it goes. You can always change or customize it later.
