Reason:
The second has by far more tags and is how the artist stylizes their username on furaffinity and inkbunny.

Alias denied, because the situation is a little more complicated than it first looks:
I'm pretty sure the misty_striker tag is smaller and exists because it was the character tag for their fursona(s) over the years. And has been mistakenly changed to be an artist tag, which then confused things.
This does happen sometimes, especially if someone is uploading and just changes the tag type for a name without checking anything first. So sometimes an artist tag will be changed to a character tag and create a mess of posts suddenly "without" an artist tag. Or visa versa so they'll show up as "another artist" of something that was meant to only tag the fact it has their fursona in it but was made by someone else. Or both end up the same tagtype and look like duplicate tags for awhile (which is what happened here). It's definitely something to watch out for. Especially since we don't really have an easy solution to prevent this yet unfortunately, but I wish we did. Well, short of requiring *_(artist) and *_(character) suffixes everywhere which would be somewhat unwieldy and probably create other headaches...
In any case, I changed misty_striker back to a character tag for now and deleted the alias. Although I don't know if things would be better off aliasing misty_striker to something like misty_striker_(character) to help differentiate or not. It gets a little on the long side but it could help.

Ah, alright. Duly noted. Maybe something along the lines of misty_striker_(char) just to keep it short-and-sweet-ish?
