I awoke as Silver the Hedgehog, but it doesnt feel right. Firstly Im dragonkin so I know what it feels like to have a connection, but with him it feels different. I didnt pay much attention to him before finding out about fictionkin. He was compelling but I never missed his life like I miss dragons. And I dont feel “good enough” to be Silver. Hes just where Im apathetic about people in need. It feels kinda rude to id as him. Hes someones creation how can I say Im him when I dont know if its true

“Hes someones creation how can I say Im him when I dont know if its true”, you can the same way we all can, by examining your heart and your mind deeply and deciding if its true. I don’t know Silver’s story, but if you feel you aren’t good enough to be him, examine those feelings. Why are they there? What makes you feel like you identify as him? What’s different with this feeling and with your dragonkin feelings? Its entirely possible that you’re mistaken and you aren’t Silver- but its also entirely possible that you *are* him, and these feelings of inadequacy have another source.

As for not paying much attention to him- honestly many of us are kin with characters we would not have chosen. Its unfortunate, but not everyone gets to find out they were their dream kintype. I believe however, that there is always something to learn from a kintype, and a way to grow. Don’t dismiss Silver just because your feelings initially push you away from that identity.
