Pff, no-one's gonna flame you here pal. It's quite normal to feel that way. Heck, you might be venturing a little into Therian territory with that. But we're all in the same boat here.

Wow.. Thanks! <3

Because I always saw myself as a wolf. Recently, at least.

I had problems with deciding, so I made a hybrid.
Cat, because they are free and independent and wolf, because they are strong.
But I chosen it myself

I liked the idea of a "lone wolf" because I was able to relate and I always liked wolves. The hybrid idea came because I loved fox furs and I'd watched cartoon foxes since I was younger.

My fursona has done a lot of changing since it was first formed. Initially, it was a reptile (and occasionally, you'll see me sporting reptiles for that reason), but now that I've grown and recovered, I picked something more common place.

I've grown very partial to canines, but I don't find myself identifying as anything 'wild' mostly because I tend to like the aesthetic of the domestic dogs better. So anyway, onto the meat, I picked a bull terrier because they are very much like me in personality and appearance.

Personality wise, they're independent and stubborn, usually not good for first time or inexperienced dog owners for that reason; if they tag you as someone beneath them, they're likely to do their own thing and ignore you. They're intelligent, having to be stimulated both physically and mentally less they become neurotic or destructive. Clownish and rowdy. They talk to themselves when they are bored. They are predisposed to having neurotic tendencies, including scratching and chewing. They can also be guilty of shadow chasing, or seeing things (which I sometimes deal with), and can look imposing despite being enormous dorks. In all they're pretty much a handful, but need consistency and for people to remind them (kindly) that rules exist. Literally all of this applies to me as well.

Physically speaking, I keep my hair short, and bullies have short coats. We're both thick and are easily prone to sunburn. And of course, we're both handsome, so no skimping out on that. Specifically with my fursona, I have the fawn coat to match my dirty blonde hair.

Well, Armonia was not my first fursona. It was actually a navy and silver falcon I called Decibel because for some reason I wanted her mute. Eventually she changed into a Ratatta I named Delilah for playing Pokemon… I know, I'm lame. Then came a bright green swift fox named Silver Mist, where she was green and orange and blue. But eventually I came to conclusion of a fox with antlers, then added hooves, digi legs. I came to the conclusion Armonia would stay with me.

Three different reasons of her.
1. Little did I know when I named her, Armonia's name means "Harmony" in Italian. It was such a surprise that something so simple impacted me because my life revolves around music. And my religion.
2. The deer - the more I learned about deer, I realized it was most likely my spirit animal, as they are independent and caring. I show these characteristics more than the fox.
3. The fox - well, they're cunning and fun and mysterious?? Idk

The more I thought about my fursona, the more I realized my parents were the two animals. My mother being the deer, my father being the fox. If you want to know more about it, pm me.
