There are several threads on this already such as the sticky in this very section, "How did you become a furry." I would suggest you take the time to read some of them and get an idea. There is no need for repeated threads on this same basic question. I'll leave you with my own basic explanation and leave the rest to you to discover

The only thing you need to know about the furry fandom is that at its base, its the love or appreciation of Anthropomorphic things. That being anything, such as animals, with human characteristics. Some furries like to delve more into it by wearing fursuits of their fursonas. Others like to roleplay and others still take it to a more adult level.(Adult things prohibited on this site) To be a furry you simply need to appreciate Anthropomorphic things, most commonly art. Everything else is just a choice of the particular person.

As for "Fursona" its typically just a character you use to represent yourself. For example my "Scalesona" is a dragon raptor. They can be used for anything you like from a representation of yourself to a roleplay character. They can simply just be something you like to draw and have no more meaning then that. Choosing on of your own is merely choosing something you would like to be your character be it an animal or even an object with human features.

Best thing I can advise is to not become a furry thinking its some kind of cult with restrictions or laws. Its merely just a community based around Anthro creatures, nothing more and nothing less
