Dæmon Analysis

osprey
You're a rare one. You matured quickly and bear good character.
It could be said you're quite superb in every way. Possessing masterly
abilities, you do something astounding with regularity. You're exciting
and viewed as romantic; every day daring and dash, but never frenetic.
You're recognized as formidable, and brilliantly athletic. You may sit a
lot, but don't exactly sit still; you fidget, look around, listen, etc.
Those who know you say you're a commendable person, and you probably agree, what
with your proud carriage.
Sociable, you get along exceptionally well with those in your clique, but
prefer people who are "untainted." You're not particularly shy or private.
Blunt and to the point explains your manner of speaking. Your speech is
simple and direct. You can be cruel, ignoring others' pain, but despite
appearances you are delicate and gentle with young ones. In relation to
others you are a peaceful, harmless neighbor. If unmolested you attend to
your own business, in which you are very industrious. Still, it's not
advantageous to get on your bad side. You are loud and unmistakable when
annoyed, though you get over things twice as fast as most. You are
courageous in the defense of others, but seldom an aggressor. You're
protective of certain people and able to carry a lot of weight, figuratively.
When dealing with a love interest, your courtship is direct, not subtle and
bashful. Nor are you shy about sex.
You feel the need to do things ahead of time, because starting late for you
often means being unsuccessful. Due to your level of skills, you're
magnificent to watch when in motion. You may work obsessively hard (become
completely submerged in what you're doing) and get nothing in return. In
your opinion, the best spend energy frugally. Before acting, you look long
and carefully. But you are sure of your capabilities, and dive after
something fiercely once assured. You will latch onto the mere shadow, the
slightest prospect of achievement, and dive headlong after it, emerging
victorious. You sense an opportunity from a long way off. And if you
have failed in your main goal, you throw yourself into the second, adapting to
whatever situation presents itself.
You don't always do things smoothly, and will frown on the persnickety, the
neat, the overly proper. Not bothering with specifics, you have an
anything-will-do attitude. Take what you can, picking randomly,
haphazardly. You have that attitude where you're driven to build
something.
Full of endurance, you brave harsh weather, even if others pity you.
You are proud -- if rumpled.
You aren't picky about your abode, though you insist on living near water.
You don't do well in closed spaces, either. Your bedroom is a seemingly
random mess. You're a pack rat: A slob who prefers sheer mass to dainty
perfection. And though you may own a lot of little knick-knacks, you lead
a simple life. "Simplicity is the whole secret of well-being." Also,
you may have two "homes" that you move between.
In regards to a female osprey dæmon, the human is regularly finding
themselves acting out dull but vital jobs. "An osprey's work is never
done." They are a builder, but also a complainer. They will hector
and plead when others are not being fair.
If your dæmon is a male osprey, you are one to reluctantly give in to such
commands. You always provide for others, but that doesn't mean you can't
be a playful teaser as well.
Back to the general facts: You seem to find one thing you do well and
stake your life on it. It can be smart to hesitate, so long as when you
commit, you commit fully. People look up to you, and why not? Your
deeds teach passion, patience, immediacy, directness, and tenacity. Folk
would do well to look upon you with awe and reverence, and so they do.
You make up for lack of speed (not to say you aren't like a lightning bolt)
in your strength and independence. Your actions are brilliant, and your
temperament resilient. Your story is a hopeful one in many ways.
lion
You are likely some combination of lithe, tall, stocky, and deep chested, with quick reflexes. You boast a muscular build and stand on think, powerful legs. The lioness is characterized by sinuous beauty, while one with a male dæmon is more bulky and conspicuous.
Though sociable for a cat soul, you are never going to be found with all your friends at once, actually spending a good deal of time alone. Friendly meetings with each other occur from time to time. You're often in control of a situation or seen as the charismatic leader: Alluring, well known, and held in high esteem by many. People credit you with courage, loyalty, willingness to share, and prowess in mental dueling. You have the ability to intimidate people through your words, or through a simple, steady gaze. You could severely injure someone's pride in an argument, but you are loath to do this. Why hurt someone that you may need to lean on later? But when you do choose to go after someone, you're bold and aggressive about it. Sometimes you're inclined to be aggressive toward someone even when they don't stand a chance.
You're very affectionate physically and always greet friends with more than a "hi." Communication is important to you (and when you want, you can be very loud). You're affectionate physically, so cuddling is a favorite pastime. You're the type to date a few times before settling down. That doesn't mean your emotions are shallow, though. Everything else is forgotten or put aside when you're concentrating on your loved one.
Life is centered around the pride: Your family. You're surprisingly tolerant of little ones, but don't like it when adolescents act like you. And when it comes to those outside your circle, those who are apprehensive are seen as suspicious, and a possible sign of trouble.
You can and will tolerate a lot of situations. Climate-wise, though, you prefer places where it's warm. For all or part of your life you were "nomadic," moving from one location to the other. Similarly, you would encourage your children to be independent and get out on their own. (A male lion being more forceful about this.) You were inquisitive as a child, but all these games prepared you for later. You also weren't afraid to interact with adults. You gained (and still gain) the most from tactile lessons, rather than simply reading or hearing something.
You devote an inordinate amount of time to sleeping, but one shouldn't mistake this for laziness. You expend so much energy than rest is mandatory. Peaceful meals are greatly appreciated, since arguments always seem to rear their ugly head at dinner. When it comes to food - or anything you enjoy - you tend to gorge yourself, then subsist on little before the next time.
Being as formidable as you are in any setting, you are not afraid to take on something substantial. Nor do you need a lot to go on in order to complete a task. You're not particularly efficient, considering you're not good at working feverishly or for extended periods, but you get whatever you can done. If you can see things won't work out because you started on the wrong foot, you'll quit while you're ahead. (You can miss the obvious strategy that would've helped, though.) But before this happens or before you succeed, you rarely alter from your intended course. It often takes multiple trials for you to be successful, but going without is not a concern of yours. What you want you gain from cooperating, planning ahead, or being patient. You like to wait for the proper moment to act and take full advantage of a given situation; awake to any opportunity that an area offers. And though it should be noted that working in groups increases effectiveness, you can just as easily go solo. Working alone is often advantageous since you reap more rewards.
Late afternoon is when you're most active and likely to be hanging out. This is also a preferred time to get things done, and you'll stay up till the early morning working.
The lioness soul is well able to lead groups (even among elders), and assumes the responsibility of working for the good of others. You're patient, nurturing, and charitable, helping out people without them needing to ask. Even if you recognize laggards, you don't punish them. You are the core of your circle of friends, and have remained playful even as an adult. You cooperate well with others, but can do most things successfully on your own. You are one to immediately try again if something doesn't work out how you wanted.
The only situation in which you may not immediately accept is when you're obliging to make a big commitment in someone else's favor. You want that person to prove their worth before anything else happens.
The male lion is known for a regal and imposing nonchalance, and you find ways to add to this aura. A cocky air emanates from you, not including the fact that you're conspicuously large and showy. Unlike the lioness, you're losing your playful nature with age, and are very aggressive, even with friends. That uncertain temper makes confrontation a risky business for anyone who might consider it. You look down on the weak, but will back off from a fight if the other appeases you. Aggressive in attitude and actions you may be, but you don't look for confrontation or attack needlessly. You only act when challenged and will fight to the death in order to protect - but in reality you prefer the easy, peaceful life. You let others do things for you, since you're not as good at it yourself. When alone, you're more inclined to act.
You are a true believer in 'first come, first serve,' and even if a friend was dating someone you really wanted, you would respect them and back off. It's not your style to fight someone over a boy (or girl). You would be extremely protective or your own mate, though, and hate being reminded of their past relationships.
You display your greatest capacity for teamwork when challenged, and form partnerships to increase your chance of success. You see it as ineffective to work with more than two others; such a group is difficult to keep organized. You strive to be on top, and are willing to be forceful to earn this. If doing something back-handed is to your advantage, you do it anyway. You're hard on losers -- they don't get a second chance.
Your "big moment" means a lot to you, and you would spend a few years sharpening your skills to prepare for it. You feel that the prime years of your life will be when you're old rather than young. You know it takes years to achieve that final goal.
For both male and female lion souls, your adventures represent the great power of self-control and balance in life that leads to happiness. You've learned the proper way to use power and strength and thus can stay calm and still, sure of your competence. But if necessary, you do not hesitate to fight for the things you are interested in.
dingo
You are of a medium build, light and rangy. At times, you are even 'elegant' in motion. You have great agility, speed, and stamina: a natural athlete. Also, you are not particularly a fussy eater. You have a certain diet most of the time, but aren't averse to changing it.
People's opinions of you are typically black and white - you're either loved or hated. In some, you invoke a natural curiosity. Others label you a pest or a hassle, but you aren't always as bad as they make you out to be. It's simply that you like to create mischief, and often take advantage of a person's inferior intelligence to confuse and irritate them. People might resent you for this, not being able to understand your actions. It's true that you're more harmful than helpful, but your good work is appreciated.
Your social behaviour is very flexible - you don't mind spending time alone, and are often found wandering by yourself, but you can also be found with a group of up to ten friends at a time ... though you're more likely to be social when life is good, preferring to spend time alone when things are rough to sort it out by yourself. With that said, you are perfectly capable of working alone, but prefer to work in a group when tackling larger projects. You're very cooperative with your friends, and you make a good team when put in a group with them; although you're not always willing to accept new people to your group right away. But you are also strictly hierarchal, and tend to 'rank' people mentally. When it comes to your work style, you tend to use strategies to get what you want. And in all situations, you behave naturally, not being one to switch tactics if they've worked for you before.
Around strangers, you become shy, cautious, and aloof, but rarely are you slavish (excessively submissive). However, when it comes to those you know well, you are affectionate, loyal and friendly. Some will do their best to prove you a figure of malice and harm, while others will stoutly defend your loving and affectionate nature. You require patience and kindness when getting used to people, but friends will tell you it's worth it. You're a source of entertainment to those you are close to, and will display funny antics for a laugh.
Being monogamous, you're the sort to, upon finding that special someone, stick with them for the rest of your life. You're sensitive to others' moods, and this makes you a good companion, but you are also very territorial, especially when it comes to your mate - you will be aggressively protective of them. And when it comes to a family, it's a safe bet you'll be a caring parent, wanting only the best for your children - even if you aren't all too fond of other people's kids.
You have a low tolerance level for fear, and become frightened easily. It is in these situations you become unpredictable. Years of persecution have caused you to prefer a flight to fight method in some cases; in others, you might respond aggressively. Although innately shy and secretive, you will defend yourself fiercely from attacks. Also, when feeling in danger, you might 'play dead' - go into a relaxed, indifferent state so as to put off your enemies.
You are curious, and like to explore, but can be timid and wary. Unique in your abilities, you are ever alert and instantly reactive. Your expressions are distinctive, and you are fairly reliant on body language, not being one to raise your voice when upset. While not silent, you are not particularly talkative; you use your voice mostly to alert others to your presence, warn them off, or express contentment.
In addition to being sensitive, you are strongly individualistic and highly intelligent, sometimes using your cleverness to play tricks and outwit others. Your sense of humour is not easily understandable, being condescending and often patronizing. Previous misdeeds have given rise to both grim reputations and humorous ones; even your dangerous exploits have become the butt of jokes. XD;
Specific to hybridized dingoes: Rather than strategize all the time, you aren't afraid to directly approach people to get something from them. You might appear sweet and harmless, but those who are taken in by your charm soon realize they're dealing with a regular demon. X3 Lastly: some people are less ready to accept you, and others can't handle your behaviour all the time - but your true friends have learned to enjoy your mischievous personality.
