A fursona is an original character/OC created by a member of the furry fandom, which they use to portray themselves online, and amongst other furries. These characters are commonly drawn in a colourful, cartoon-like art style, and in the person's chosen species. Some, however, are drawn in a realistic style to look more like a real animal, rather than a flat, 2D style. Some furries will also commission artists to create a fursuit, a giant costume designed to look like the fursona. These are often worn at conventions, around other furries, in intimate settings (sometimes), in photoshoots, or just for fun. Species may be decided by popularity, relation to a real, significant animal, or possibly even one's spirit animal. It's mostly just a favourite animal though. Traits and personality can be chosen based on one's personality in real life, whilst others may opt to portray a specific side of them using certain exaggerated traits, or those that the person may not have themselves. Overall, a fursona is just an animal representation of yourself. It's based purely on creativity.
