Boy is this a long complex story, I'm not sure where to begin...
tl;dr? I'm a Tanuki, was just shifted to a tiger all this time, this is the "true form" of me, so to speak..
Canon-ly? I like the tigress form better, for this or that reasons, so I just stayed in it.
If you want the full story, backstory or irl choice reasoning, ask\DM me lol XD

Thank you so much to all the friends that helped me through my decision process, picking a new character and designing it isn't easy! especially for a perfectionist like me XP so again, thank you!

And a big, super special thank you that is VERY MUCH deserved to the artist  pennylessmac. Words can't describe your dedication, patience, willing to work, this is a commission I wouldn't have been able to achieve with just anyone. So thank you Penny, for being such an amazing person and making my vision into a gorgeous reality by being so.
