So after breaking up from a 15 year long relationship and starting a new life, I decided to change my fursona as well. I have always had an interest and a connection with hyenas and after a long period of considering my options and what fits me best (including a period where I thought Kangaroo fit best) I have fully settled on a hyena.

The white spots on him represent marks that actually exist on the real me. The face spots are moles that I have that match the same angle as Orion's Belt, and the white on the stomach is a scar I received when I burned myself with boiling water at 10 years old.

Many thanks to the artists who contributed to this ref sheet! You both did an amazing job! (artists were not affiliated with each other, I sought them out individually)
