AAAAAA thank you https://www.furaffinity.net/user/lanladeo so much for this gift! It means the world to me. I put so much effort into creating Tristan. I really wanted to make a fursona that would reflect the most genuine part of myself. Look at this nerd! He'll rant to you about Final Fantasy XD
I don't know if I mentioned it before. But about the creation of Tristan... well, I wanted a fursona for my irl activities. I was able to have the chance to design a new fursona that I could put lots of effort in, so I connected him to my story series.
As well as the ref sheet. There were particular details which I took from my friend's https://www.furaffinity.net/user/chaphogriff fursona, which was the basis for Tristan's design. The ref sheet of Tristan also shows his "Brand" mark (from FF16). There is specific lore for this on the ref sheet.
Although Tristan is entirely different from Alex, I wanted some aspect of Alex to carry over, since I used Alex for so long. So that's why I decided on the purple hair ^^ which is like Alex's purple eyes.
