This was one my earliest submissions back on FA, so I brought it here too

I've been a casual member of the furry community for 6 or so years now, but there was always one thing I had never been able to do to truly mesh with it and that was create a furry persona (fursona, in some circles). It doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but how on earth are you supposed to put yourself in or be apart of someone's artwork if you literally have no body. So I began the hunt for my 'sona, but never found it until now.

I made this guide because I know theres a lot of people who can't find theirs either. It took me years to find one I was comfortable with simply because I started off trying to find a specific animal,

but if theres anything I've learned its that sometimes one just doesn't cut it (which is why I am now a long tailed, cat eyed, bushy haired, fanged bison. Yea weird)

I sumed up what parts felt comfortable to me and outright ignored wether the pieces fit or not.

By the time I was done, I was like "Hmm, yknow this thing kinda looks like a bison"

And thats how it happened.

So without further delay, here is the guide. Presented in a multiple choice style story. Its perfectly fine to pick one or more options, remember this is just to give you something basic to start from. Have fun

= A Day at the Beach=

It's a bright, sunny day, so you and some friends decide to go to the beach.

The moment you step on the sand you challenge your friends to a swim race, but they all groan because they know you'll win due to_

1 them being horrible swimmers

2 the fact you have gills

3 the webbing on your fingers and or toes give you an edge

4 you have a fin(s))

After splashing around for a while you decide to chill on the blanket for awhile, but the sun is beating down badly on your _

1 skin

2 fur

3 scales

4 feathers

5 exoskeleton

so you and your friends decide to cool off with some ice cream

On your way to the ice cream shack, you step right into a puddle and slip

Everyone around you gasps when you somehow pull-off a flip mid-air, landing neatly on your_

1 paws

2 hooves

3 feet

Your friends applaud and buy your share of ice cream for you

Just before you get the first lick, one of your buddies shoves the frozen treat right into your_

1 beak

2 muzzle

3 snout

4 mouth

5 trunk

6 maxilla

7 nose

Despite the numbing brain freeze, you chase after the idiot, with the rest of them following

You almost catch the prankster, but one of your friends tackles you, making you land hard on your_

1 tail of any length

2 butt

You try to wiggle away but they're holding on too tight, so you resort to child antics and pinch them hard with your _

1 fingers

2 claw tips

3 talons

They yelp and let go, you bolt away to follow your target into a thick patch of trees near the end of the beach

You creep along in the dimness, your hearing not working that well because your ears are_

1 so floppy they block sound

2 so small they don't catch much

3 still a bit waterlogged

4 large but full of sand

5 you don't have outer ears

Finally you spot you're friend crouching behind a bush. Thinking quickly, you know they'll just run deeper into the woods and probably get you both lost, so you decide to snatch something from them to get them to chase you. With deadly stealth you creep up from behind and quickly steal their hat.

Moments later you're sprinting away from your pursuer as you stuff their hat onto your head, laughing as they yell that your head will change the shape of it because you have _

1 horns/antlers of any kind

2 a fin(s)

3 antennae

4 different skull structure

You make it out of the woods and back onto the beach to your other friends, completely winded. Your hat friend wheezing death threats at you

Everyone is smiling and laughing, but its getting dark. You pack up your gear and ride home glad that you made the trip.
