Fursona
TaniDaReal's fursona is a grey "schnolf" (wolf / snow leopard hybrid) with a black dorsal stripe. The schnolf replaced the former grey snowleopard version.

Fursuits
Tani created and built four fursuits: Two of her character, one old lioness form (2002) and new snow leopard (2004), one of her silverfox-wolf hybrid character Savoy (2006), and one of her new character Daiquiri, the Transilvanian Wild Dog, built together with Nightfox.


 * Savoy - Savoy is a female silverfox-wolf character created and owned by TaniDaReal. The character was created in 2005. Since 2006 the character also appears as a fursuit. The old fursuit version made by herself (in 2006) was retired. Since 2012 she wears the new Savoy fursuit, created by OneFurAll.
 * Daiquiri - Daiquiri is a female Transilvanian Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus transilvanus), who is also a Vampire. The name derives from the Daiquiri cocktail, because of her sugar-like ear-tips . The character was created by TaniDaReal in 2007/2008 and built as a fursuit by herself and Nightfox. The fursuit was presented first at Cologne Furdance Edition 2 in November 2008.
