When & how did you first develop your vulpine persona? Did she feel "obvious" to you or did you have to try out a few options first?
So, I had found out about the furry fandom in, like, 2000 or 2001, but was in some serious denial about being queer, so I didn't really "join", as it were, until late January 2004. 4:16am, Janaury 31st, 2004 to be exact. That's when I made my first Livejournal post as "Ice Foxx".
I can remember thinking that I wanted to be a wolf or a fox at the time (so unique, I know), and I just ended up choosing fox. I think it was inspired by some of my favorite furry artwork at the time featuring a lot of foxes. I don't think I thought about it much more than that to be honest.
And she just kinda stuck, y'know? Over time I started to identify as her more and more, and she's obviously gone through a couple of revisions, but mostly she's just been an extension of me. At this point I can't imagine being anything other than a fox.
