Thunder

Other Names: Thunderfall

Species: Corvid phoenix (Corvus corax)

Birthday: September 24

Gender: Female

Pronouns: she/her

Occupation: Tornado chaser

Physical Description 

• Short
• Somewhat curvy
• Flat-chested
  • None of my non-mammalian anthros have breasts, but I feel like I should specify this for her, since I did use to draw her with breasts and some of her old art still features them
• Tail feathers form a train behind her
• Large poofy feather crest on her head; looks a little like hair

Personality 

• Kind of a hardass
• Super stubborn
• Rants about things that upset her, but doesn't hold grudges
• Generally hates being touched
  • "Generally" because she has a few people she would cuddle forever
• When she gets stressed over how much work she has to do, her cure is to just do the damn work

Likes 

• Dancing and singing, provided nobody's actually watching her
• Having something to rant about
• Watching cartoons
• Thunderstorms
• Exaggerated, cartoony art styles with bold lines, bright colors, and crazy expressions

Dislikes 

• Firearms
• Situations outside her control
• Being in the wrong
• Realizing people didn't notice she was joking/blowing off steam during all those rants and now they think she's an asshole

Personal Info 

• Has lightning powers!
• At any given time, she considers herself better overall than she has been in the past, while cringing over any and all past iterations of herself
• Collects random craft supplies that she thinks she might make into something later
• Allergic to nuts
• Doodles all over everything she owns
• Avoids work when nervous
• Patient with everything that doesn't set off her pet peeves:
  • Being interrupted or ignored while she's talking
  • Defenders of pseudoscience and shady business practices
  • People who don't credit their shit

Brief Backstory 

• Was born in the days of yore (2013), when I was making colored pencil drawings for Instagram and decided I needed a fursona
  • She was significantly uglier then than now, which is really saying something because I kind of feel like she looks like a traffic cone right now

Trivia 

• My first fursona!  She was part of my triumvirate of fursonas (with Jeist and Telos), whom I liked, but never used as "me."  Q has since usurped them all.
  • Thunder's design was always my least favorite of those, as evidenced by how relatively little I drew her/had her drawn.  I think I'm going to redesign her soon, along with a couple of my other old characters, because I think she still deserves some more love.
  • She used to look even worse than she did now:
    • Her beak didn't look like a corvid's
    • Her feathers, especially on her head, were weirdly styled and didn't look like feathers (because I couldn't draw feathers)
    • She had a weird long tail that ended in a fan??
    • Her colors and patters were all wonky
    • WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WAS SHE WEARING
    • BIRD BOOBIES
• As a child, she was pretty much exactly the same as she is now: loud, demanding constant attention, and getting bothered by the dumbest things

Date of Creation / Adoption: September 24, 2013

Other Notes: She does NOT have breasts.  Any artwork that portrays her with breasts (including her old references) is out-of-date.
