First off, I'm not a furry. I didn't even know what that was when I created this character at the tender age of... you know, I don't remember exactly how old I was. I can definitely say that I was 11, 12, or 13 though.

Now that that's out of the way, this is Tanya Longtail, and while I'm not sure if she was my absolute first OC, she's definitely the first that was the most developed. Citrus and I came up with something a long time ago we called "Snowball Express", which was a roleplaying game where he and I ran a factory (with our respective characters) that produced snowballs and buckets of snow for various clients. Our employees? All of the characters we knew and loved (it'd probably never work outside of roleplaying... all those different copyright-holding companies that would have to be involved XD)

The funny thing was, most of the time, the employees weren't working. The roleplaying that actually took place revolved around the characters and their day-to-day lives in the massive apartment complex they all lived at on property. It wasn't difficult at all for Sonic to run into Stitch or for the Teen Titans to have to put a stop to Dr. Drakken's plans.

Anyways, while Citrus's character ran the place, his sister (amazingly, considering that he was a gecko XD), Tanya, was the resident doctor. In reality, though, it was more like she ran the company because of the madcap situations that her brother would get involved in.

So yeah. She's supposed to be a fishing cat, but I don't believe she resembles one. I think I just called her that because I thought it was cool.
