Dæmon Analysis
Page 1
For this section, people can email me their dæmon's settled form, and allow me to place their name/alias along with their soul's name, and then I'll take a week or so to write what I think the animal your dæmon settled as says about you - or "analyze" it (which sounds better :D). Once I'm done and send it to you, you can tell me how that describes you, and also how it doesn't. Both what I wrote and what you add will go on the site. Life has made it so I'm very selective about what analyses I take, but don't worry: What you want is probably already listed
here or
here. Please don't send me a request without looking for it first.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not email me asking for an analysis unless you are nearly certain your dæmon is going to settle as that form, or it is settled already. If you take a glimpse at the following pages, you'll see plenty of these people wrote a reply thinking their dæmon was settled, only to have it change later on. The analysis fit perfectly, but that ended up meaning nothing. There's not much point in viewers reading through those replies if they aren't even accurate for the form. But more importantly, learn from them that you CAN'T make a decision based off an analysis! That's not how it works, and that's not their purpose. Nowhere in the original opening did it say, "My analysis will help you figure out if the form truly fits you." No, they're supposed to let someone who knows their dæmon is settled understand what that animal represents. That's all. Yes, I hope it'll make them feel more comfortable in that skin, but it's not meant to work as a Quizilla game.
"But this random other analysis fits me so well!" you say. Yes, that may happen. But you need to understand that what you feel is right matters more than some list of traits interpreted by another person. I might see an animal one way, but through your own eyes (and this matters), it doesn't match with you. And maybe for the analysis of the animal that your dæmon actually becomes, a few points are off. That's okay! It's quite possible that the way I interpreted the trait doesn't fit you, but you could've made it match you perfectly. It's the luck of the draw, kid. Do NOT look through the analyses on this page hoping to find an animal that fits you perfectly. It'd be better to look at the pictures! Maybe you'll feel a connection with one of the critters and know it's more than a passing feeling. If you find that your dæmon frequents a particular form and it might be their final one, it's okay to read what's on this site, but make sure to do your own research! I've never stopped researching coyotes, and this has helped me greatly in understanding why I am one. You will feel better about a form when you know first-hand why it's right, rather than having guessed based on what someone else wrote.
But don't go to the other extreme, either. If 50% of an analysis doesn't fit you, that's more than difference of opinion. The form isn't right. Some traits are just a must, like gray wolves being sociable, lions being assertive, or panthers beings solitary. You shouldn't have to stray too far from a rational interpretation to make a form work, and most people understanding the concept should agree the form is you, There is more advice to be given, but all this is fundamental.
Rannock / Okibi / [black] coyote
quick analysis version
here
First of all, the fact that
Rookie is a black coyote would make you a rare person; utterly unique.
Even "one in a million" ... or, one in six hundred, considering melanism
occurs in only one out of every six hundred coyotes. You're a hard person to
describe, and it's even harder to figure you and your intentions out.
You are usually fairly solitary, or sometimes found in small groups. You
are well able to work alone, but will work in a pair or small group to take on
a bigger task; you'll even form a brief, unlikely relationship to get what you
want. You're secretive and
opportunistic, which can be taken badly sometimes - though this is
mostly why you're so successful at the things you do. People view you as a "scavenger",
and even though this is true, it's not necessarily a bad thing. You're just
smart. You take what you can get and make good use of it. You might frequently
be portrayed as a "cunning trickster" or an "outlaw", and even if people don't
think that, they should be wary of you, because you're not a person to be
messed with.
You're very vocal, and love to communicate - even over long distances.
You're commonly heard, and often use your vocal skills to win an argument
rather than your aggression. It's a good thing you excel at communication,
because you have a complex body language. You also have strong senses, and
good stamina.
You're territorial, and have a sense of hierarchy. However, you are
extremely loving and very loyal to your mate. You like caring for them. You
will defend a person you love against the toughest opponents. At times you
experience deep and complicated emotions, but you are able to hide your true
feelings behind a flamboyant and colourful personality.
You like to wander and travel, and you are extremely adaptable. You thrive
in virtually all types of habitats, and you can work at night or during the
day. You adjust quickly to changes. In new situations, you not only survive -
you flourish.
You have a great sense of humour and are sarcastic and witty. Your friends'
"joker". Around your friends you're normally loud and hyper, and you love to
play, but around strangers you become shy and timid. You're more likely to
hang back and observe from a distance before you make a move in any situation.
Your cautious attitude isn't helped by the fact that many people try to bring
you down, but you will not be defeated. Peoples' carelessness has hurt you
emotionally before, making you vulnerable in some situations, but at this
point you refuse to be caught off guard. You're incredibly wary and alert -
you learn quickly.
Okibi's thoughts
I would never call
myself "utterly unique," though both my boyfriend and my family, and even my
boyfriend's mother, have described me as a precious treasure. I'm pretty
sure my friends see me as unique also, but... I don't. ^^; I'd agree
that I'm hard to figure out, though. When I asked my friends to define my
personality for a project, they were unable. My intentions can be hard to
understand too, especially since I have the habit of dancing around what I
really mean.
Yes, I'm generally alone or with a few friends. I
prefer things that way. Maybe because, in a larger group, I don't get to
interact on a more intimate level with an individual. And it's hard to keep things organized with a group of
eight of more teens running around. I'm known for completing tasks very
well by myself, but I definitely like working with friends if I need help, or
the project would be overwhelming otherwise. I wouldn't say I form
relationships just to get something out of them, but I'm good at sweet-talking
my way into things. And I'm not so much secretive as... I just don't bother
to tell people everything about me. Only my close friends know the real
me, and even then... they only view what I let them see. I'm opportunistic
to an extent, but am known for letting big opportunities pass me by. Also,
I'm picky. I'll try most anything once if it's offered to me, but when it
comes to items, I won't take anything and everything. Sadly, I'd think
some family members partially see me as a cunning trickster. Outlaw's a
strong word, but I'm certainly more of a loner than my cousins. I'm not an
intimidating person, though. Maybe I'm more of the coward coyote of
folklore than the bold canine who strolls into the suburbia. I don't like
conflict. I'll stand for what I believe in, but I almost never get into
aggressive confrontations.
Vocal...? Sometimes I can
be a lot more talkative than my friends, but other times I'm the good listener
who hardly utters a word. But as Daniel pointed out, I can be very 'vocal'
about my beliefs. This website proves it. ^^ I do like to
communicate - to really get into a deep conversation with someone. But
those don't happen every day. And, yes, I'm one to communicate over long
distances. My relationship with Daniel wouldn't have survived if that
weren't true. =P I can agree that I use vocal skills to win an argument (one
reason I loved the dęæmon debate). I don't get aggressive unless a certain
button is pushed, such as a loved one being insulted. Then you'd better
expect me to get nasty. Hm... My senses aren't above average from
what I know, but I do have good stamina. Especially when it comes to
working on something; I like to keep going until it's finished.
I'm territorial in the human sense (i.e.
materialistic). It used to be that I couldn't stand people fiddling with
my things. And even though I felt bad about it, I'm just... like that.
I don't trust people to handle delicate or important objects, because in the
past they
have ruined them. I have a sense of hierarchy, for sure.
There are people I look up to, respect, and admire, and those I recognize as
being less intelligent, mature, and not so worthy of respect. Extremely
loving? Yes. Loyal? I'd say so. Over this distance it's hard to
say if I like caring for him, but I'm sure I will. I think I've already
seen hints of that. I can't think of an instance where I had to defend a
loved one against a formidable opponent, but I know I would. Yes,
sometimes my emotions are so complicated that even I can't comprehend them, but
they still get me stuck in a rut. I can be immensely lethargic
emotionally, then fine the next day. I remember for quite a while when I hid
depressed emotions behind a smile. It fooled some people, but not my
closer friends. I just prefer not getting people mixed up in my troubles,
for their own sake. (You mentioned that your friend with a black coyote dæmon
gets easily depressed. I would say I'm that way, too. When I get
sad, it's with little incentive, and doesn't last long. Daniel thinks this
may be a canine trait in general, which makes sense. Dogs either seem
incredibly happy or very down. And as you've never heard your friend raise
her voice in anger, most of my friends can say the same about me.)
I'm such a wanderer... May be strange,
but I'm quite comfortable just walking around in new surroundings, even if
completely by myself. I just like getting to see new things and being
alone with my thoughts. That's one of the few times where I don't mind a
crowd, 'cause we're all strangers to one another. It's hard for me to say
I 'thrive,' but I'd bet everyone who knows me would say that's the case.
And Daniel has said numerous times how he's amazed someone like me came out of
my situation.. Also, I work during the day or in the late evening;
whenever I feel motivated. I do adapt quickly to change (mental or
physical), even if I despise most changes. >> I noticed this fact
even before realizing Rook was a 'yote.
I think a lot of people are
funnier than I am, but a good number of my friends find me amusing. I like
being sarcastic and making them laugh. Around some friends I can
definitely get hyper, but around others (whom I'd guess the wolf in me sees as
an alpha leader), I'm more subdued. I used to really like play fighting,
too. Not so much anymore. And it's true that I'm pretty quiet around
strangers. I can be shy and self-conscious, but I'm getting better about
that. I'm definitely one to 'hang back' and just watch. Do people
try to bring me down...? Maybe. But only when they think it's for my
own good... most of the time. People's carelessness has definitely hurt me
before, but that vulnerability I felt is beginning to slip away. Lastly:
Yep, I'm a quick learner. All in all, I'd say this was pretty accurate.
=)
Tiassale / Aidan / Amur leopard
You're good at planning ahead, scheming, and being down-right mischievous, and you use these and your other talents to aide yourself, but those who deserve your empathy do get it. You've always been relied on to give an non-judging ear and kind, sympathetic expressions. Instead of zealous, crowded areas, you prefer when you can get peace and quiet, though. You're very solitary, but the friends you have are close to your heart, and you trust them very much. You're a pretty quiet person, and fade into the background most often. But at the same time you can stand out, 'cause there's something about your style that's appealing and eye-catching. In that same respect, your comrades would probably call you a lesser-known kid, but those who get to know you find themselves enjoying your presence. Some think you're unique and attractive, but in your own eyes you don't see yourself being different from anyone else.
You are always after something - trying to achieve your goals in the way that works best for you. Your true nature is rather aggressive, but most don't notice this and see the more passive side which isn't as dominant within you, but definitely shows more often. You aren't terribly partial to the thought of a significant other, but you know when the right person comes along, you'd do almost anything for them.
Aidan's thoughts
Actually, that's all pretty much exactly me. I have a quick temper, but most people I know hardly even notice it. I haven't found a very good friend yet, because I haven't found anybody who's really very like me at all; they all talk too much. Not that that's bad, but gossip can get annoying if you don't get any information...or whatever.
Anywho, like I said, everything's about right, except planning, I don't think I'm too good at it, though I do try on occasion. I'm actually surprised at how close it is, like the first sentence...one of my friends used to call me "mischievous one" when we were at school together... I'm a lot less innocent than everyone seems to think I look, and I definitely like quiet spaces...but anyways. So that's all I have to say, I really have nothing to add (after all that ;p).

People
seem to complain about you too much, but if they got to know you, they'd
probably be real partial to you. This happens now and then, but you've
stopped letting it bother you. You're
torn between being a loner and a dependent, and though your casual friends are good
people, you also need your alone time, (or at least to not feel crowded). This causes some to think you're moody - and maybe that's the
case - but you refuse to agree.
You can
definitely show fondness, but it's mostly to be tough love that shows through, and
this makes you envious of those around you who can show their emotions in a more
pleasant way. Sometimes you wonder if you even know what love really is -
but you suspect this wisdom will come to you in due time. And going along
with this subject.. you may be concerned about the problems of your friends, but
you are one to listen rather than give advice. Of course, if they ask, you
will do your best to say what needs to be said, but you think such things are
best left to others.
You're
known for being a bundle of enthusiastic energy, but in truth, you're more
likely to be found taking it easy and resting around the house. But you're
like night and day inside one human being. If you aren't taking a rest, then
your mood is likely to be a hyperactive one. Others (even friends of yours) find
this tiring, yet it's also what they love about you.
Your
humor is a rather sarcastic and crude one. Of course that's not the only
way you get a laugh out of people, but it's what you prefer. Little
things easily catch your attention and are able to hold your interest. Entertainment
is acquired usually from yourself, considering those around you don't always
understand your sense of humor. You'd
like to think of yourself as unique, even if those around you don't agree to
that right away.
Yeah,
you're always sneaking around and doing something no one else knows about.
I guess you could say you're very secretive; and you don't find anything wrong
with keeping secrets, either. It's fun. You
prefer hiding from your problems, or at least that's how it seems. More
like... you just find it enjoyable to make people try to figure you out.
This proves how worthy they are to be your comrade in the future.
Lastly,
you're
likely to feel comfortable no matter where you are, as long as the people there
are smart. Dense folk get on your nerves..
In the
long run, you're a fun and out-going person who's perfectly happy with taking
life one day at a time.
Becca's thoughts
Rightie! All the replies seem to start with 'Actually, this describes me pretty well...' so I'll say that, because it's true.
People do tend to complain about me, at least in a joking way. At my school here, I got a lot of semi-affectionate
'God, you're weird' and 'That's our scary Becca', which didn't bother me because that was kinda the reaction I was
going for in the first place. I do need (and get) alone time away from my casual friends, but my really close friends I
hate to be away from for too long. I get called moody plenty, and I usually disagree, and if I agree I blame it on
hormones or some other teenage complaint. My mood just changes ridiculously quickly. Eh hehe.
The bit about tough love is basically true... I'm really attached to and fond of my friends, but sometimes I think I
(unintentionally) seem a little indifferent because I'm wary of being too affectionate. I don't want to seem like a
sycophant, or be all syrupy sweet. I do tend to make more with the listening than the advice-giving, mostly because
I'm awful at giving advice. All I can do is listen and confirm my confidence in and love for the person, and hope that
helps. It seems to be appreciated, which surprises me. Apparently I'm good at making people feel better without
being all advice-givey.
You're definitely right about my humor... sarcastic and crude. People still seem to find me funny, even if they're
grossed out/disturbed at my cracks. Though the people my humor is usually targeted at, my friendly peoples, tend to
share my view of what's amusing. I can entertain myself easily, too. What you said about little things is true as well; I
just need something quirky and interesting to amuse me.
Brude
/ Astra / Alaskan grizzly
[Astra's dæmon is now a hare]
You're an interesting individual, who's confidence
is seen and felt from
across a room. You require a great deal of personal space, and get fussy
when this area is invaded. Although you tend to be completely aware of
your surroundings and are quite intelligent, you tend to win arguments from the
sheer force of your personality. You're blunt, aggressive, and (truth be
told) it's sometimes your stubborn single-mindedness that makes the opponent
back down. However, you are unwilling to argue from a perspective that you
don't truly believe in. You are protective of your own beliefs, of your
material possessions, and of your friends. No one's going to touch any of
those when you're present.
For you,
debating is a game that you must win. You won't avoid
an argument, and you won't back down from the challenge. You'll batter
your opponents into submission just for the endorphin rush -- for there's
nothing a bear soul enjoys more than pitting every drop of its intellectual
juices against the mind of a worthy opponent.
You are
an ethical person, and are likely to point out someone's wrong-doings, whether
you really care about it or not. If a human mistreats another, it gets you to
thinking, Hey, do they think they have the right to do that to me,
too? And whatever you say, people are bound to listen, for you have
natural leadership abilities. You're all about a no-nonsense, head-on
approach to situations.
Yeah,
most would call you insensitive, but you hide this fact well enough, since you're
very empathetic, and can understand someone's problems. But when it comes
to helping them with these problems.. this is only done if you're willing to take the time.
Conflicting
forces shape your nature. Since the grizzly's an omnivore, you in turn
exhibit two distinct sides of your personality. The carnivorous component
makes you all about no playing around and being tough, while the herbivorous side reveals a gentler
and intelligent human being.
You're
about as independent as it gets. Being by yourself for long periods of
time doesn't bother you, and with most tasks, completing them by
yourself is preferred. Most of your feelings stay locked up in your head, and
your conversations consist of random topics that don't need deep, personal
views. You're commonly a quiet person unless you have something of
interest to say - so if your friends want to talk, they're usually the ones who
have to speak up first.
In your love life, you
aren't quite romantic as you are.... intense and passionate. You want to
make your partner feel how they make you feel. You don't think it's
necessary to be sexy or any of that; just let your love show.
Astra's thoughts
Wow, this actually nailed it perfectly.
My personal space is very very important to me. If I don't know or like you, and you invade my personal space you're going to get hit, of course you also have to deal with my friends, they tend to be just as protective of me as I am of them, and they're just as apt to knock you out as I am.
I do win arguments easily, though I don't agree that its only my personality, I am well founded in my beliefs and I always know when I am correct, thus when I argue I have utter faith in what I am stating, and that can make me seem twenty times the better person as I won't give a faulty argument.
My friends and my possessions ARE mine, that is as much the dragon as it is the bear.
I don't have a pack, per ce, but I call it "Under Her Eye" , so that, she is watching.
I broke a guy's jaw a few weeks ago when he tried to rape my friend and I'd do it gladly again, and ooh when people try to take my belongings.
I love debating, and I will win, it is that simple.
Yes, that is true, it doesn't take much for someone to be placed Under Her Eye, even though I'm usually more apt to snap at a newcomer than to befriend them, there are key things I look for that can move them into that field, and if anyone mistreats them, well, I protect them as I would a friend (though I would not die for them and
it's easy for my opinions to change at this stage).
I love helping people, I can relate to nearly everyone because of various things in my life.
Bear represents the passing of courage to another and is highly spiritual, so I am one with myself and thus can pass on my knowledge to others.
You are correct in your assumption that I will help if I have time, though not always, I never forget a "client" and will always, always help, though sometimes I just need a little bit of time to think your problem through.
True yet again, yet I have two predators within me, the dragon (who is evil) the bear (who is neutral) and the human who, for all intents and purposes, is good.
So.. it's high conflict within me, yet it all balances perfectly.. if that makes any sense at all.
I'm very very independent, and rarely tell others my problems. Complaining is a form of weakness when I do it, though I never mind when others complain, it gives me the chance to see the inner workings of their minds and lives, and I am always studying and learning (more or less so I can have the upper hand, but still)
Very VERY passionate and intense in my relationship with my mate. He is a dragon spirit as well and his
dæmon is a peregrine falcon, love to us is pain, and our love causes us pain, but its the best sort.
Love is said to hurt, and its absolutely true.
By the way, just had to add for y'all, that Brude (my dæmon's name) is pronounced Bru'jja and means "an ancient king" in Gaelic.
Lorilye
/ Magiko / [swift] fox
specific swift fox analysis
here
Most
people would find your personality appealing, but some just cannot take your
competitive nature well. A
discussion with you is invariably stimulating, and
your curiosity and worldly experience make you a wonderful
conversationalist. You're able to hold forth on a number of different
topics with ease, but sometimes you let your competitive side view any
disagreement as a challenge to be fought with, which proves to be off-putting
and annoying to your companions. But no matter what you suspect certain
people think about you, you are naturally loyal to most, and quite generous.
You are
more serious than silly, but temper this characteristic with a mocking sense of
humor and showing a playful aura while interacting with others. You always
expects friends to be as honest about their strengths and shortcomings as you
are about your own, and while these high expectations don't make you a snob, you
expect people to demonstrate their worthiness before returning the favor with
loyalty and devotion.
But no
one can really deny that you're a master of the mind: intelligent,
clever and quick-witted.
You are relatively independent, or at least prefer to be this way.
You'll often refuse any help when offered (due to the fact that you're
impatient), but then again, you do procrastinate a lot. Your soul
makes you passionate and creative in your day-to-day tasks, and these works
often get attention from friends and strangers alike.
When it
comes to people you are attracted to, you can be highly flirtatious,
and can't help but
try winning the person over with a false image of yourself. You think a
boy or girlfriend wants some who's righteous and morally just, but you need to
learn that if your own true emotions don't drive you, then that
person can never love who you really are.
People
largely misunderstand you to be a shy, retreating individual, though your petite
stature works just fine for your personality. You aren't likely to succeed in the world
using brute force alone, and instead rely on your sharp mind and engaging
personality to garner resources, and consequently spend a lot of time brooding
- giving the impression that you're always worried about outsmarting your
friends. In truth, you'd be surprised to learn how many find you intimidating
because of your intellectual pursuits.
Magiko's thoughts
Yeah!
That's like exactly me! I really wonder how you found that out? I
don't think the part about me being honest about my strengths and shortcomings
is right though. That's more what my dæmon wants me to do. I think
when you said that people are intimidated by my quick wit etc. and stay away
from me because of it I think you're right. That I think fits perfectly
with the swift fox. It was persecuted almost unendingly and basically
driven to extinction because people thought it would eat their like chickens and
stuff. Well I guess that's all I have to say about that!
