What is the history behind fursonas?
A fursona is a furry character that represents an individual, usually in the form of an anthropomorphic animal. The term was coined in the late 1990s by members of the furry community, and has since been adopted by many others who do not consider themselves to be furries.
The history of fursonas is closely tied to the history of furry fandom itself. Furry fandom is a subculture that is based around an interest in anthropomorphic animals—that is, animals with human characteristics. This interest can manifest itself in many different ways, from writing stories and creating artwork featuring these characters, to dressing up as them (known as "fursuiting") and attending conventions dedicated to furry fandom.
While there is no one single origin story for fursonas, they are often seen as being intimately connected with one's identity within the furry community.
How do furries come up with their names?
Fursonas are animal characters that furries use to represent themselves. Many furries choose names for their fursonas that reflect their own personalities, interests, or appearances. Some people use online name generators to help them come up with ideas for their fursona names.
