When creating my avatar in Second Life, I decided to create an avatar that resembled myself. Therefore, I started off with my avatar's name... Hillary. When looking for a last name, there coincidentally happened to be a last name very similar to mine, Portal (instead of Porter). Therefore, since I was going to create my avatar's appearance based off mine, I might as well make the name as close as possible too. Not to mention, for my first avatar, it would be easier to remember my avatar's name since it was almost like my name.
For appearance, I decided to choose the avatar that resembled me as much as possible. Therefore I chose the brunette girl in the pink polka dot dress. After figuring some controls out, I began shifting her facial and body characteristics around. Although I changed almost everything on her, it was not a drastic change. I figured I would just get used to changing things around little by little before I did anything too drastic (even though I know I can always change anything).
