My spouse has long wanted a fursona and has been unable to wrap their heads around what they wanted to be. After several years of procrastinating about it and putting it off, I took initiative to ask one of my favorite artists, Ruolina, to help design one for her. I asked my spouse what they'd like to be if they wanted to be any animal and they chose a tiger. Not just any tiger, but one of unique coloration - a black tiger, also known as a melanistic tiger. It is one of the rarest tigers in the world. With this in mind, plus a few additional details like hair color, length and dress appearances, we set Ruolina to work. It wasn't long before she came back with a fully realized new fursona for my spouse and least to say they were thrilled with it! It took a good while before a name was finally settled upon, but for their birthday today, I present to you: Avora Kuma! We've got ourselves a new furry!
