A well defined fursona

Fineas:
O.o  *blinks*  Wow... I don't even know where to start.

That is both funny, a very good example of what I was talking about and kind of disturbing.

Sithy:
I feel a well defined fursona is....

whatever you damn well please.

Well, yea, but do you think that everything goes?
You say their shouldn't be anything that makes sense with it, if that is a person wants in their fursona?

I kind of see your point, if we are talking about artistic freedom and freedom of speech.
But if their is not a single thing that defines a character, just a bunch of random bits. Does that make for an (imaginary) person or just a collection of things?
And if that last thing is so, would you still call their character a 'good' or 'well defined' persona because you take pity on them or you honestly feel they deserve praise because of the time they put in it?

Sithy:
I feel everything goes because
A) It's someone's personal imaginary animal thing
B) If someone wishes to combine elements, that's cool
C) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)

I feel a fursona is defined by having unique traits of you. That is different to each of us. I have fursuits that are each a part of my character, but enlarged. Example: a "sparkledog" named Sid. To some he may look rather put together from every retina burning colour ever but to me he is my colourful, loud and OMG SPARKLES AAAAAH side.
On the other hand my regular gray opossum, who is just all of me. I usually dye my mohawk/undercut in unusual colours so that's the only thing that stands out on them.
Then my fat albino opossum Buk is the grumpy, lazy part of me. I can be a slob :3

So we have the sparkledog from the same person that owns and performs the fat possum without colour


In short, I don't believe in saying xyz makes for a well defined fursona. We are all unique snowflakes (or not ;)) and as Vulcans say: IDIC! Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations :) make what YOU like.

Edited to add: Though as I typed this I did wonder, why opossum. I picked the species originally because of their meaning as a totem: Possum medicine is about health of mind and body despite external (or internal) pressures - keeping cool despite what life can throw at you. Confidence and flexibility, strategy, and comfort with one's true self. Possum as a totem can teach us that sometimes it is better to hide our strengths and not to fight, but to divert attention and stay out of the conflict. (Source: foxloft.com)
