It's been so long since I first joined the Furry Fandom. And I have come a very long way since my very first day in the global Furry family. But now, the time has come for me to make my next advancement.

For a while now, I've been stuck on which character to have a Full Fursuit made out of. None of my characters are regularly displayed naked, and they also don't have the personalities suited for it (with the possible exceptions of Philippa and Roman). Now, I've found a way to attain this. Meet my newest character Gemma, who I think twins with my username like Krusty the Clown and cigarettes. Although character development on her has yet to begin as of the making of this journal, my plans for her are just beginning. ;3

Starting off is my decision to make her my new main Fursona, taking over from Wesley. My decision was made in a heartbeat because of wanting a clean slate as far as my main Fursona goes. Wesley was the very first character I brought to life all the way back in 2008, but this was a time of my life when my ability to trust others was nearing its lowest, and his personality reflected that, namely that he frightens easily and is often reluctant to completely trust others (with his suspicions frequently being proven correct in the stories he features in). As you know, he still has these traits, but as he has aged just as my other characters have, he shows them in smaller doses than he used to. I feel that not having him as my main Fursona any more will give me a bit more freedom as far as his development goes, and allow me to invest more into a Fursona who I think is a better fit for my username and personality. That, and he's obviously not as much of a kitty as Gemma is, given his parentage and the fact his grandmother on his father's side is a vixen.

Next to come will be my profile for her and stories, and I plan on commissioning some artwork of her (including a new avatar). Between this, I know exactly who I want to go to for the Full Fursuit, this being a maker I met at the London Anime and Gaming Con last month by the name of Blood Kitty (assuming she's currently open, that is). As I've cosplayed, I've noticed that rather than just being daring, I'm finding I rather enjoy cosplaying and acting as characters who are not of my gender, which has only served to strengthen my desire to go ahead with this. I will still have Wesley as a character, of course - he just won't spend as much time in the limelight. Keep your eyes peeled for more of Gemma, ladies and gentlemen. ;3
