Hello Papabear,

First of all, I apologize if you have answered this already, but I am curious about something.

I am wondering what happens to someone's fursona after he/she passes away. Does it become up for grabs, does it stay with the deceased person, or does it just "die" as well?

Sincerely,
Kumori

Hi, Kumori,

For most furries a fursona is something that is very personal, a part of them. Therefore, in most cases, I would surmise that when the furry dies so does his or her fursona. But, that’s probably not a hard-and-fast rule. For instance, many times a furry will leave his/her fursuit to someone else after they pass, or, quite often, even sell the fursuit long before their demise (because they need the money or are tired with that particular fursuit character). I guess it depends upon how strongly attached that person is to the fursona and how much that fursona reflects who they are. When I go, for example, Grubbs goes with me because he IS me. My fursuit (if it is still in one piece by that time) will be inherited, but at that point it just becomes furry fabric and paw pads and claws, a souvenir.

That’s just fursuits, of course. Many furries don’t own one, and their fursona lives in illustrations or in written fiction. In that case, I reckon it would be even easier to keep a popular furry character alive as others draw fan art or write fan fiction, sort of like how James Bond keeps appearing in movies even though Ian Fleming died a year before I was born. As with our memories of a loved one, a fursona of someone we dearly loved can live on, even after its creator has shed the mortal coil.

Thanks for your question,

Papabear

Personally it's private for me. Mostly because I fear the person I'm telling about it has the wrong idea like on an earlier post here. I also confine everything furry I do to my reddit profile, DA and FA.

Hey! um... I kinda just became a furry fan so I'm still pretty new to it all. I have a feeling that I'll be lurking mostly and posting comments occasionally. I can't draw to save my life so if anyone would want to draw my fursona that'd be great!

My BASE fursona is a White Cat named Maya. She's happy, funny, charming and smart. She loves adventure but sometimes ends up stressing out about stuff to much and freaks out. She's white all over, except for the tip of her tail, which is red. She has short strawberry blonde hair. Down to her shoulders length, kinda spiky anime-ish. She has green eyes, and two little fangs that stick out over her mouth. She has lots of SPRAY ON tattoos. She thinks they're fun and currently has a Chinese dragon on her left arm, a small griffin on her right and wings on her back. She wears a necklace with a Victorian key and a bottle of fairy dust (glitter and soft cotton balls) and usually wears soft grey sweatpants and short sleeved t-shirts with happy whales or smiling suns.

That's her pretty much! I kind of want to give her horns or antlers or something, but that's later. I'm probably going to be pretty quiet around here. I'll try not to stir up trouble! This is the first thing I've ever posted on reddit...
