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
analysis by Cat

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
complete leopard analysis here and here

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).


Poke / Becca / ferret
more ferrety goodness here

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!
