Yes my two characters Wiesli and Wusli started like this.
On the left you see two rather famous characters, Weasel and Measly from The animals of farthing wood, an anime series from the early 90s which ran over years in Europe in different languages.
In the original book Weasel was a male weasel. It is not revealed if Weasel was meant to be a stoat or ermine or least weasel.
She was just meant to be the "weasel" X3
In the series she is female and later meets a male rather dumb and clumsy but cute weasel named Measly.
In the German dub they both are called Wiesel (German for weasel) and Wusel which is just an odd variation of a fantasy name and has no actual meaning.
Wusel would be pronounced as "woozle" if you want to spell it correctly, try to spell woozle and you got it!
Weasel is a very dominant character and often calls Measly names and blames him for everything, even her own failures.
Back to the species.
When I was a child I asumed weasel is a species but in fact it is only a term for the weasel-like subspecies combined together as you would say, stoats, ferrets, ermines they are all just weasels XD
Because of the missing dark tail tip I asumed they were least weasels but those are really small, just as big as mice, so the weasels in the series are far too big.
In season two there is even a greyish white weasel like character called fitch or polecat, but truely looks like a winter coat ermine since it has a black tail tip.
Anyway, when I was a child I got inspired about the two characters Weasel and Measly and got me to make my own characters, Wiesli and Wusli.
Yes Wiesli and Wusli the guys you know like these:

But they once were weasels/ermines.
I did draw them similar to the on the right side portraied characters when i was 10 or something.
My drawing style changed really quickly and my characters looked more and more like foxes or wolves and when i showed other people what I drew, and they only could quess and thought they were not weasels but anything canine like O.o
After YEARS my characters became a hybrid species made of marten and dog or sometimes stoat or beech marten x fox or something.
But their characters remained the same, I mean their personality. Like Weasel and Measly, Wiesli often tends to blame the more silly and clumsy Wusli for almost anything bad happening but different from Weasel, Wiesli is a bit more like Fox, he is intelligent and fair and usually doesn´t blame Wusli for things he never did or caused.
Anyway, it was cool to just try out to draw my old origin characters in the animals of farthing wood style since they once were inspired by these characters and their looks.
