My fursona is a Chimera mix of various species. I came up with this over months of experimenting with avatar part mixing on Second Life and aspects I liked such as horns, stripes and long ears. Sometimes I will shape shift to other parts of these species on my avatar if I feel like it. Or change into my other sets of fursonas/species. I consider myself sorta like a DNA genetic shapeshifter. However I tend to retain some of my original forms traits.
