Welcome to the Forums, Vesperia!  ^_^   I do hope have a good time here as well as in the fandom in general. For starting out I would just recommend exploring around the forum and looking for topics that interest you and just starts from there. If you have any questions do feel free to ask the folks here are quite friendly and welcoming.  I can also direct you to a few threads that may provide some information just to help you out a little.

Cheers and have a good one!  :)

Everything comes from nothing
Everything is something
So just let it all keep happening

Don't be a means to someone's end
It's all just beginning why can't we extend
An invitation to every hand

All hands can clap
All hearts are beating equally
The pulls of the air we're breathing

If we can believe in one part of it
Then we can believe in all of it
So don't stop
Don't stop the party

Welcome! Making a fursona is both easier and harder than it sounds. (I make no sense so  ^_^  sorry) I bet you'll have a nice one in no time.

Everything all in good time. Fursonas take a while to perfect typically. To know what you want it is wise to immerse yourself in what you like around you. You already have taken the first step. For the longest time I have loved scales too and also opted to a dragon or a more Argonian like design (if you play Elder Scrolls you may get what I mean). But I found that hares represent my personality the best and so I went with it. It all depends. The best thing is just to be comfortable where you are and about yourself. Insecurity can lead you to less desirable places within the community and have a reputation that is hard to shake. Just warning you.
The best starting place I think is just play around with designs that you like and that you'd feel comfortable with. It's like designing a new body. Except this time you chose what you look like. What kind of pets do you have? Lizards, snakes, cats, dogs, fish? I have found that the influence with your animal companions can be a great starting place. IRL I think rabbits smell and are messy and I'd never have one as a pet. But a hare is too free spirited to be a pet most of the times. They are fast with in-depth survival skills, which would otherwise be wasted as a pet.
So I suggest just jump right it without having anything to begin with so that as you experiment you gain a wide variety of inspiration that you can use to piece together your fursona. Also some thing I do to help visualize is find creators or generators with furry components to help you develop your style. I would only use them as temporary sandboxes because artist credit and claims can be finicky. After you like a design you can get art commissioned from a skilled artist who can help you further in honing your foursome. Then the rest is up to you. Well, everything is up to you but I hope this can help kick start you in the direction you want. Good luck!

Hey there! I know joining the fandom at first can be a bit overwhelming but you'll find fantastic friends in no time.

Also thanks ? and Syko for giving the links and explaining, that's really helpful of you :3

You're welcome hon. I know what it's like to be in your position; I was there not too long ago.
