Inspiration Reference meme for Erin over from Twitter.

Inspirations
My fiancé - due to her kind nature and warm personality, plus that Erin's design is partially based on her. I didn't use my fiancé's real picture as I didn't want to expose her on here.
Panthy (El Arca) - not going to lie, I really think this character has massive sex appeal, and I wanted to replicate the curves and bust of Panthy when first considering what Erin would look like. Plus, who doesn't love a predatory girl too?
Colleen (Road Rovers) - has a very kind, caring way about her, plus she was my 'furry awakening' as a kid, in a manner of speaking. I've had a bit of an affinity for Colleen, so I couldn't not use her.
Joan Jett - pioneer of rock in the 80s, wearing leather jackets and tight jeans like Erin does. Her kickass attitude and general sexiness was a contributing factor in Erin's development, as I kind of wanted Erin initially to be a female rockstar kind of stuck in an 80s glam rock era, though that never arose.
April ( sherwoodboy) - initially, Erin was going to be a fox with a constant hunger, but I did not want comparisons between myself and Sherwoodboy's amazing OC April, who is like the goddess of hunger growls. I changed Erin to a large cat because of the dynamics between her and Marcel (a mouse), but April's influence is still there as both she and Erin have stomachs that do a lot of their talking for them.
Thea Stilton (Geronimo Stilton) - I read some of these books as a kid, and I was always drawn to Thea as a bit of a badass, whilst also still being feminine and stylish at the same time. When I imagine how Erin's voice would sound, I always think of the voice actress that did Thea in the Geronimo Stilton TV series, so there's that too.
