Murana was always a pretty lass, but this birthday gift I received this past week just continues to prove that fact. I will always adore Murana for being that persona of mine that got me through the hard times of growing up as a teen and into adulthood. Even if she didn't have a name or even a face put to her back then. It wasn't until recently, with the advent of Zootopia, that she materialized into her current form and became an actual character. The more I worked with her and wrote for her, the more she became an independent entity that was separate from me. Yes, she is most like me, but now she's her own thing altogether - capable of standing alone and spearheading her own adventures and stories. She may not be the leading lady in my book series I'm writing, but she'll always be the leading lady in my heart. Thank you again, Murana, for being you... and thanks to my good friend, Halo, for commissioning this gift for me. It was very much appreciated!
