Description There was a huge text to go with this but it felt too personal to share.

What I can say is that I realized that dA, Lioden, Tumblr and every other site were never really safe havens. They were hiding places where I refused to focus on my issues or deal with them and grow due to that experience, as it's natural. And I didn't realize how bad this was for me until it was too late and my life got to rock bottom and I felt completely lost. So I decided that all these sites are going to be the hobbies that they should be in the first place, and I need to focus on me and getting out of this hole I've been digging for myself for the past seven years.

And out of every character I ever had, Anne was the only one that really felt like a fursona, and not a 'main OC'. So she's getting out of retirement and I'll adopt her back as a fursona instead of, say, Asante. I love Asante and I'll still draw her but she's not me and has never really been me. She was just a character I really loved, and one that was with me trough good and really bad times (which is actually why while I eventually got used to being called my lioness' name, it always felt a tiiiny bit weird because I never really saw her as me. I'd much rather go by Icey now. Unless you're a close/old friend, then you can call me whatever you want to :3).

So yea, I'll be doing a proper reff sheet for her, as well an icon, when I have the time. She has a pretty simple design (I was like, 11 xD), but I love her anyway <333

I actually realized that a lot of my characters resemble each other design-wise a little bit. Kadeen and Karina remind me of my lion characters -- one gray, the other brown with a blond mane xD And so on.

And thank you! <3 I'm really excited to get to draw her again

Anne's? Nah, i love her far too much <3 The only design change she ever got was a slight color change to not make it so stupidly bright xD
