To me, they were each a stage in my life. It was why I could never adapt or build on them to reflect how I was at current. To me, they had their own integrity that I developed during each chapter of my life. Chapters cannot last forever.

Sairose was the equine one, she was grey with those odd flecks of stormy colours. She did not lead much to the imagination but she had the potential to do so. To me, she was the start of great things.



For me, Vali was the crucial. Within her I found out a lot of things in myself, although in her past she was tainted with some awful experiences. I look back to her and smile and think, Job well done. We turned out quite alright.



But I look at myself, I look at the now and I look at who I was when I had Vali. My past self and the person I am growing into now is a very far bridge, so, in a sense I guess it makes sense to move on into the next period of my life.

I see myself as normal, whatever you define normal as. To me, I feel more like myself than I have in a very long time. The road I am walking now is certainly a difficult one, but has made me a stronger, far more stoic and rational person. of course, within all that I have my own small sense of creativity and outburst with my drumming and painting and whatever the fuck I do. For me, I don't need fancy wings or fake colours to portray the person I think I am. To me they are false. I would rather be true.

tl;dr

Sairose was my first. Vali was my second. Say hello to Kate, the third. Caracals were always my favourite big cat species. I dont think I will keep her contained to just one form though. I feel I have become adaptable.

Referenced off images, I just wanted to get a basic idea of what I wanted here.

Caracals are fantastic animals and very elegant - and the facial marking reminds me of a flower blooming to life :)
I like the history of your personal characters (fursonas?), and your growth with them. I love that sort of thing, and not enough people offer such up.

Beautiful new character, I love the meaning behind her as well. The splash of colour on her nose is definitely fitting! Plus caracals are awesome :D

I really do love the thought you put behind this. I think she will do a great interpretation for this new stage in life!
