To me the difference between a character and a fursona is the fact that a fursona is either a type of animal that represents you or an animal that is most like you. My fursona for example is my Kreptis character named BlackBerry. I created him back in 2011 where he first started out as any other OC/Character does. Then I added parts of my humor and behavior into him to make him more unique. Now if he was a real person and not just a make believe character that I have created, we would both view things exactly the same and express opinions the same. I do have to disagree however, that everyone who has a fursona is a 'furry'. I'm not saying that I don't see the creativity and dedication being put into a fursuit, it's just not my cup of tea. I have no interest in dressing up as an animal or viewing any of my characters on two legs with clothing walking around in a human environment. My characters are just animal storybook characters that I created and have meaning to me. Think of it this way, my fursona is me but I am not my fursona. I know doesn't really make any since but I am a human. I don't see myself as an animal. BlackBerry is a personally detailed character to be like me. He's my mascot. I just have no desire to be him. But the character BlackBerry himself is me.
