So, who exactly is this strange dolphin then? You may indeed be asking that question, and you've come to the right place to find out. If your browser supports the <abbr> tag, hover over the dotted underlined terms to read footnotes.

In all honesty, dolphins are just one of a handful of species I identify with. One of the main reasons why I chose this fursona was that my dolphin side is the most tangible, describable and agreeable of the three. Cyrin is energetic and playful, preferring life in the water but is also quite comfortable on land. Being more-or-less a fifty-fifty anthro common dolphin, his form is optimised for speed and manouverability without sacrificing necessary terrestrial skills (like walking or picking up objects). His distinguishing anatomical features are webbed hands, large flat flipper-feet, elbow fins and a yellow streak across each eye. Friendly and approachable though he tries to be, Cyrin's (sometimes overly) delphinic degree of affection can deter some, as can his obviously non-terrestrial traits; such as his love for eating fish (especially anchovies!) and having permanently glistening rubbery skin.


Increasingly, however, Cyrin has taken the form of an inflatable toy. In toy form, he appears much the same, only his organic contours and intricacies have been replaced by simplified toy curves and seams. His normally flat, rigid fins have been replaced by puffy pockets of vinyl; and his rubbery cetacean skin by glistening, translucent PVC. Two large air valves, situated on his belly and the underside of his tailfluke, make it easy to inflate (and deflate!) him. His manufactured, cheerful grin and printed-on cartoony eyes relay the simple, warm, happy toy thoughts buzzing through his air-filled head. A pair of soft blue plastic handles adorn either side of his balloon-like dorsal fin, reinforcing his purpose as a pool toy.

Sahyris

Digging deeper into my personality, you'll find Sahyris, who can loosely be described as a sort-of mer-fish. Upon closer interrogation, you'll find that he's predominantly a large ocean fish species, with suggestions of tropical and deep sea fish, perhaps even a little dragon, combined with human physiology in more of a mermaidy fashion (as opposed to straight anthro). Webbed spines run down his back and along his tail and arms and large cycloid scales cover every inch of his cold, wet skin. His eyes are a vibrant red-amber; unblinking and slightly vacant, in keeping with the rest of his overtly piscene head. I suppose the fish is somewhat metaphorical for the darker and more bizarre aspects of myself - the deliberate outcast or loner, someone whose mind is probably more attractive than their physical form (which in itself could be considered quite repulsive). If Cyrin can be considered almost hypersexual, Sahyris is most definitely autosexual. In his normal form he lacks both legs and lungs, and thus is unable to leave the water (although his large gills do permit him to breathe air for limited periods, and he can haul himself onto rocks or sand with his spiny arms).

Clover

Clover is an anthro Fresian dairy cow who, to some degree at least, represents my feminine side. Anatomically, she is a sensible blend of bovine and human - she has digitigrade legs ending in full cloven hooves, while her hands are slightly more opposable (still very hoof-like, but separated into three digits). Her hips, tail, neck and head are all very cow-like; with large floppy ears, a big wet nose, rubbery lips and a petite pair of horns adorning the top of her head. All of these features combine to give the impression that she is a little dopey, and this is not helped by her extremely relaxed nature and a slow speaking, distinctly bovine 'accent'. She is not without intellect, however, and evidence of this lies in her large, friendly feminine eyes. Finishing her look is a short, fuzzy mane that mimicks human hair without deviating too much from bovinity. She has a full, curvaceous figure accentuated by both a pair of modestly-sized human breasts and a large udder with four thick teats. In spite of her proud, attractive physique, she has a very submissive personality, which follows through to the bedroom. She is openly bisexual and has a wealth of kinks, spanning right the way from tame through to extreme and bizarre.
