This magnificent picture by Kaput Otter (https://www.sofurry.com/view/732247) is much more like my IRL self, as well as more like the "Tristan Black Wolf" who appears in my stories about myself and Aleksandr (https://www.sofurry.com/browse/folder/stories?by=170137&folder=20370). My Cheyenne tribal name, IRL, is Tristan Black Wolf, and it was my "beginning name," as it was Wolf who first chose me to join his clan. I have been honored by others, and although I probably shouldn't pick favorites, Bear was the most recent to ask me into his clan, and I'm particularly honored by him as other members of my human Cheyenne clan saw Bear in me even before I did. In a way, my human clan awarded me the black bear as a totem and spirit figure, and Bear himself came to me in my dreams to confirm it.

I've also been honored by having my friends and loved ones call me a wuffie-bear, which sounds silly, but is oh so wonderfully sweet of them. Definitely feelin' the [i]LUV![/i} ^___^
