been considering making a proper fursona recently, but i’m not sure what species(‘s) to pick. how did you pick yours? did it have to do with aesthetics, personality, or some kind of connection to that animal? all three? tell your story :)

You don't really need some deep mystical connection to your chosen species. A lot of people just pick an animal they like or have a fond memory of. It's also fairly common to change your mind a few times before you find something that fits, and to make more changes as you grow as a person. I myself went from blue fox feral to anthro blue fox to adding an arctic fox as secondary sona, which eventually became my main sona, and now I'm considering adding some weird seasonal shapeshifting genderfluid shenanigans to him/her/it because my identity is a bit of a mess right now.

Don't worry too much about getting it perfect on the first try. :)
