A fursona is an animal representation of yourself. The correct way to do it is to fill it with symbolism and colours that mean things to you, along with an animal that reminds you of yourself.

Thanks for that, I wondered.

AKA: a wolf, a fox, or any sort of big cat you can imagine. NOTHING ELSE.

actually it can be any kind of animal you want! for example, my fursona is a red panda.

a persona is like you, except it's not necessarily you. it's what you'd like to look like or what you think you'd really look like if you could entirely change your looks.

I'm a therian and I'm a raven so me fursona would be a ravenO.o

So it's NOT just limited to wolves, foxes, or big catsO.o
