I'm honestly stuck between a wolf and Fox as my fursona.... might make it both like Alex. they are both canines after all.
Most of my newer characters are wolf/fox hybrids continaing the strength and ferfcioty of a wolf with the stealthyness and slyness of a fox.
I have three pure wolf characters Ruby, Tala and Lupe. which are three of my older characters , my newest characters.. well I'll leave that for another dicussion.
I like wolves because aside from their Canine likeness to Foxes Wolves have been in indian folk lore and other stuff sadly in most things i can think of put wolves in the villan role "big bad wolf" I think this is a unfair preception, Wolves are predators yes, but that doesn't mean they are villans, heck it is a wolf villan who inspired my Wolf characters, Wolf O'donnel.
