My mate when I first met her wasn't exactly a furry, but interestingly enough says she often thought of herself as a raccoon if she had the option to be any animal. Of course, I ended up convincing her to make her primary fursona otter like me. But she says she would be fine either as otter, raccoon, equine, canine, or hare.

In the universe of Cosmic Driftwood, raccoons are native only to Midgard (Earth) and Alfheim (Alamanthea). While each are overarchingly similar, the Alfheim equivalent are fully bipedal. They mingle among the society of that Realm as citizens like everyone else, which as a result led to Burst infection during its outbreak, but at a slightly lower rate than other species. When Keldrin (see previous post) was brought in to help, he took a raccoon couple in for observation. While their litters weren't as abnormally large like other couples taken in from the consequent ohja hormone therapy, they did show a tendency to mate and become pregnant almost immediately after each birth. As a result, raccoons who were given the hormone treatment received lower dosages compared to other species. While the raccoon population of Alfheim at large managed to keep pregnancy rates at a level equivalent to before the Burst microbe outbreak, litter sizes did manage to be larger on average than previously, and mood swings common to pregnant raccoons became notably more upbeat. Interviewed females reported enjoying pregnancy, especially towards the end, far more than they had in earlier years.
