I’ve been dealing with character theft for around 6 months now. 5-7 of my characters have been stolen, ranging from fursonas to OCs I no longer own.

It started in November on Tiktok, I made edits of my fursona. Holly would repost them and named my fursona Ashlyn ‘Holly’ and claim the art, edit, and character. She hasn’t been using tiktok since December.
Things really started moving on Instagram. She tried to sell multiple of my characters for animal jam items, PayPal, and virtual currencies & failed roughly 90% of the time. I contacted her asking her to stop but she cussed me out and kept doing it. She ended up getting an instagram account taken down but made another (she has had 4 in total).
She managed to sell two of my characters, Cooper and Ashlyn, for $10 roughly in total. She has also put them UFS on furry amino under her usual handle (hollypop15) and hasn’t gotten anything from there (surprisingly). I haven’t heard anything from her recently but she might pop up again.
I’m worried she’s going to get a TH code and end up trying to claim/sell my characters on here, so please Block/report her and share this! Also please alert me when you see someone claiming any of my characters, especially Ashlyn! I have spent over $500 on Ashlyn and to see her being claimed breaks my heart.
Thank you :’)
