Image description: A grey-blue female cub skunk with white hair in a pink t-shirt with a blue overall skirt holds a red overall wearing brown teddy bear tightly against her chest as she cries.

Outside of Ruxie, Lizzie is alone. In a world of cubs with tons of friends, she can only watch from a distance. The other cubs, content with their popularity and already within well formed toddlerhood cliques, reject her no matter how many times she tries to fit in with them. Their leaders have deemed her too different from them, and tell the other cubs to stay away from her. They listen.
Skye may be what I use as a Fursona, but Lizzie is far more similar to myself. Especially here on FA. I'm still not over it.

I realize I messed up her markings as soon as I finished it, the white markings are supposed to be on opposite sides and not the same one, but I really don't want to go back and fix it.

I feel awful for missing this piece. :( The description, along with remarks, really paint a vivid picture that many can relate to.
What's interesting is, in last week's "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" they kind of touched on this. There was an outcast character that only wanted to make friends, but due to what it was it got hunted and driven into solitude instead.
Spike found the character and tried to make it feel welcome. However, when the disguise failed, Spike failed, too, and didn't stand up for the character as it was feverishly chased out of the Crystal Empire.
In the end, Spike went to make good on betraying a friend and all was well. However, real life is very seldom as easy. Especially to those who, like the character, are stereotyped and outcast as a result of their differences.
We all really just want to be appreciated. Even if it is in the smallest degree. We want someone to look up to, or look up to us. To know we genuinely mater. Solitude from something that we can't control is awful.
It is my hope that, one day, we can help forge a world that will foster a stronger sense of community. A world where children aren't hauled away by their parents from other children without explanation. To know that, from an early age, we can appreciate the many other facets of each other instead of allowing one, or even a handful, of misunderstood conditions cause a lifetime of loneliness, self-destruction, and depression.
