Adopting a Raven Fursona
« on: May 01, 2016, 12:13:54 pm »
So I've decided to make a fursona that is based off of a raven. I've seen some birds fursona that have their wings on their arms, and I've decided not to do that. My raven's wings are gonna sprout from her back. I know it'd be biologically correct to have her wings on her arms, but having them on her back looks better to me. She's gonna have black feathers that have a slight blue color to them in the sunlight. This goes along with her midnight blue beak and talons. I dunno what to name her, but I see her as this mysterious individual that wanders the world and keeping to the shadows.

She sounds really cool-- and I think it's within the artistic license to have back-wings instead of arm-wings, if that's what you like the look of most. I love ravens, they're some of the coolest birds...

I don't know what kind of a name you really want most, but you can spend some time on baby name sites and try out the ones you like until one fits, pick the ethnic background you like, search by meaning... say some names out loud to feel how they roll off the tongue, if that helps. (though at least in Celtic and Old English, there are a few names that mean 'raven'... but that might be a little on the nose)

Anyway, the description of her appearance and what you've said about her character just all sounds neat.

It works for dragons and pegasi and such, so why not?

I've gone with the name Morgana. It's an English name derived from a Welsh/English/French name. It doesn't mean Raven, but I like the name nonetheless

Yeah, there is. We had to read the poem in high school back a few years ago

Varek's fursuit will have raven tattoos--a direct reference to Poe.
