New and Still Finding Fursona

[19Norway]

  Hi everyone!

I'm really new to being a furry and have a few questions. I also thought I should introduce myself. My real name is LeeAnn but everyone just calls me Elle. I'm 21 and live in NC. As for a fursona and name, well I'm still trying to search for mine. 

I always thought I had part dog characteristics (Don't get me wrong - I believe I'm full human); with my mom always saying I had hair of a dog and I always thought I had the loyalty of one. Oddly enough I am still keeping the secrets for my friends from first grade back in 1995. But I don't know if I'm a dog or not 
So I am asking for a little bit of itty bit of advice. When did you first discover your fursona? Did it morph into something else or did you just "See it, and know it to be true." ??


Sorry for random moment:
Any other advice you can give to a first time furry? I'll be debuting at the Anthrocon 2013 since I want to debut in a full suit which requires losing a little bit of weight. Ever since I found Furry I've been on the treadmill everday it seems like.
1, 2, 1, 2... Furry, suit
  thanks for reading!!

a 3 year old here ^^ but yea. for advice on figuring out your fursona. the way i did it, was just try to find an animal you found beautiful (not sexualy, unless you want that? )and describes you, like your saying dog, loyalty, yea. after you figure it out, more expirienced with the fandom, then you could maybe expiriment, branch off, find a hybrid or something that just "clicks"


like me, i started with a wolf. and after 3 fursona changes. here i am, with "rook" a bunwolf (rabbit/wolf hybrid) the fursona of my dreams

Welcome to the forum (: And the fandom.

I myself have multiple (main) fursonas, one of which is Ventus Fall, a fur-dragon.
I developed her first before the others, but she seems to stick around better than my other fursonas xD

Sometimes I might change to one of my other fursonas, like Solus Zelt (Bundranygon (bunny/ dragon mix)) or Suirrel (a squirrel with the ability to change colour).

Sometimes you can create a fursona and it can indeed shift to something else or have slightly diffrent physical (and mentally) appearances.
I changed Ventus a little bit in appearance, like the ears are more pointier now, her markings are a bit diffrent, and so on


Anyways, what are your hobbies?

Welcome to both the forum and the fandom I hope you have a wonderful time in both . As to your fursona truthfully the reason people choose fursona's are quite different from person to person. I've had a few fursona's over the years just choose an animal that fits you I'm certain that it will be great .

Welcome to the forum 19Norway!
To help you find your fursona one thing I recommend is think of all your personality's. What makes you, YOU!
And after you have some defining traits of yourself, look at the animal world. Which species catches your eye and from what you can tell, BEST represents the traits you have. Like a dog would represent loyalty, a dragon could be power, and a cat could be shyness.
It can all be looked at in MANY different ways.
Once you have your fursona species, All you need is a look, Witch is pretty straight forward.
 
And if you find it too hard to make just one fursona you can allways have multiple ones, Many others people do.
If you have any others question you can feel free to send me a PM.

Hi Everyone 

Thanks for all the greetings and advice! I feel soo welcomed! I started drawing a few samples today of what I might like as a furry character and would like to show my appreciation.

My first attempt at furry art and I think I did pretty good considering. Feel free to laugh - I also think it looks part squirrel, fox, and pig. But as you can tell my hobby isn't really drawing (dang the concept art!!!  ) 

But rather music, and I am one of those people that LOVE my job. I work at a family recreation center and one of my jobs is to make sure everyone is happy, so you can say I am constantly performing like a furry and making people smile and laugh. I can't wait for the day that I can work as a furry/mascot there.

  I'm going to practice everyday until I can turn it into concept art or not be afraid to lose a sketchbook at the Anthrocon. Do you like sharing your stories? Do you have any PG-13 or under your willing to share with someone that hasn't read any yet? 

[Ventus Fall]

Maybe your fursona is just a mix of all kinds fo diffrent animals?

But it looks good for a first attempt, I must say
