Why do you have a fursona?

Hi all, well, i am not feeling to good this afternioon and whilest just sitting with my thoughts i wondered why, those furries who have a fursona.....Why do you have one?, is there a reason behind it?, or is it maybe just a character you c reated?

For me, mine started as a character on an online game i started playing a few years ago, furcadia, (not the best of games i know) anyway, back then i didn't even know the furry fandome existed. when i found out, and found out about fursonas and such, i decided to make my character my fursona, and he has been ever since. He hasn't changed much through the years, well appart from giving him a stripe down his tail and back making some mistake him for a skunk and not a squirrel xD!

There are also reasons why i gave him what he has:

Species: i chose squirrel as they are my utmost favourite animal
fur color: I chose black as it is my favourite color (even if it is technicaly a shade)
Eye color: I Chose blue as mine are blue......well blue grey
Hair: I chose blonde, mainly cause he would look bald from a distance with black hair xD! besides i have black hair irl.
Weapons: I chose two side arms (desert eagle .50's) Because i like those.
Build: I made him toned, as that is what i dream to be :p.
Height: Matches my height of 5 feet 4 inches
Personality: Basicaly me and more.

So what about you other folk who have fursonas?

I had to answer a question like this before, I now wish I had saved that answer.....

In short, I think it's because I hate this world. A fursona helps me displace myself for a time.

It's sorta of a long story involving this comic, drawing, and failing at drawing people...
Also involves many children movies and a bout of drepression from a combination of said children movies and Interactive fiction...
Anyone heard of a interactive fiction called "Photopia"?

to me it seem it's a Norm in furry life so i wanted one.
NOTE: you can all see that i dont have one right now well that because i lack a scaner or art tab but i found somebody with skills who is willing to draw stuff so i'll have mine soon...

I don't have one, although I'll admit it seems fun. I'm sorta scared of revealing stuff. I only just releaved to my mother that I roleplay, last year...

I just need confidence...that's all.

Damn I forgot to answer this! Well, my mother does not like D&D and anything related, but when I was younger I think she thought I'd be caught in a bad crowd. Anyway, she has always been a little more overprotective of me than of my younger brother and sister.

Then again I'm really not the type to reveal stuff too often via word of mouth, because I tend to worry about the consequences a lot (I blame the school social hierarchy and how I was at the bottom of it for most of my time there)

And yes, that means I've been worrying for two months about what could happen taking the next step.

I didn't have a fursona when I first came to the forum. In fact, I was new to the fandom itself. I had no idea what one was, until somebody brought it up, so I decided to research what a fursona was. I guess I ended up with a wolf because I'm a bit hot-headed. I can get really angry really quickly. Wolves are just so powerful, and ... I don't know. I also had always been in to werewolves for quite a while.

For me my fursona is like an alter-ego. it represents me.

Back in my freshman year in high school, I found out what the fandom was, and I made my Fursona a Jackal cause I was quite the loner on the outskirts, but over the years I've become less patient with people and I have been more outright with anger. I also got into playing Werewolf: The Apocalypse, so I just changed over to a character from that game, Wolves just fit my personality better now. and I love playing a BSD Glasswalker, so that's what my character is.

Why do you have a fursona?
