~Canas_Nagase

Quite a number of things crossed my mind and I think a solid change is in order.
Don"t worry it"s nothing bad as many of you might think.
I"m simply going to be changing the names of both my fursonas.

My dragon"s name, Canas Khoury Nagase, will be shifted over to my border collie.
When I look at that name, I remember the life I lived back in Guatemala, as my grandfather was the one that gave me that name, and it"s essentially my true self.

I bet you"re wondering why my dragon was the one carrying that name and not my border collie.
The truth is, it began about 14 years ago when I joined a Pokémon Online Group and I had to think of an alias on there, and I chose "Canas" at the time.
Within two years in I had met  SyrusWolfos and we became very good rivals in Pokemon and Yugioh, then he decided to bring me into the Furry Fandom.
Thanks to an artist friend of his,  IshiGray I was given a dragon fursona that you"ve all come know today.
That was when I officially gave him the name Canas Nagase.

Many years passed at that point, and I started to feel like I was slowly getting detached from the life I once lived back in Guatemala.
In a way, I didn"t want that part of me to disappear as it played a major part in who I"ve become over the years.
That was the motive to bringing the border collie to life you know as Khoury.

For some time now, whenever I get called Canas by the bunch of you, I get mixed feelings as that"s the name of my dragon, as well as my past self from Guatemala.
The way I see it, the dragon represents the "Mask" I had to wear when coming to the States, knowing full well the majority of what I learned back in Guatemala is rendered meaningless here.

With this in mind, I"ve decided to rename the dragon Kotarou.
I" can"t really describe or understand why it feels very... fitting.
Perhaps later I"ll figure it out.

For now, the name changes I mentioned will be official.
It may take some time for us all for adjust, but I"m completely certain that this will do me some good for the future.
I do need to get started in adjusting my previous submissions to update the name changes,
And... I need to get some new con badges so I can be identified correctly while roaming around. ^^;
