Hm... Well, I know my interest in wolves started way back when Wolf's Rain was on Adult Swim. I also used to run around on all fours when I was younger and it probably wasn't until recently, about a year or two ago, that I stopped doing that.
My wolf obsession grew more when I made my first wolf character, Lunara Cashaar, a black non-anthro. I roleplayed with her on one of Yahoo's Graffiti rooms, Autograph. It was there that I made friends with a couple of other people, one also being a Wolf's Rain fan, and we roleplayed almost daily.
About three summers ago, one of my wolf friends and I were in a conversation on YIM and they ended up telling me about Furcadia, a downloadable client-based furry MMORPG. I joined instantly, using Lunara. At first, I wasn't at all impressed with the size of the characters because I was used to full-screen virtual worlds, like There and Second Life. Despite this I soon grew to enjoy Furcadia and eventually made my second Furcadia character, Black Cocoa. This is one of the characters I will never forget about because of the group of friends I met while using Black Cocoa and also all of the trouble I managed to get into about my new friend's dream (the equivalent of a scene in IMVU, only you're able to move around freely) with another neighboring dream. I won't go into all of that, though, because it would take up way too much room. ^^;
To sum it all up, I met great friends, some of which I kept, and made many different characters before settling upon my current one, Adelrausch. Adelrausch is the most detailed out of all of them and is, in my opinion, the closest to my true self. If you're wondering about the name it was just something I made up in English class last year in 7th grade, when I was starting to get interested in Rammstein and the German language. Now that I know that there's a name for what I am, I am happy to extend my furriness, which showed a lot on Christmas and Christmas Eve because I wore a black cat tail and ears on a Santa hat. :-[
