Dæmon Analysis

Tarquay / Lydia / dormouse
You're seen as
attractive with prominent eyes. Your appearance has a fairy tale charm, making you easily recognizable. Basically, you're really cute.
Little is known
about your social organization, but being solitary, you're more likely to be
in a pair than a small group. You like
to have others around, but you have to have your space as well. Silent and
fast-moving, you're very timid
and can become easily distressed. It seriously hurts your psyche when people
don't empathize with your needs. You're not a difficult person to figure out
-
secretive though you may be. This cautious side may be because you're
susceptible to harm. People take advantage of your moments of
vulnerability, but usually you're quick enough to avoid whatever they'd do to
you. Not to say everyone's your enemy. In fact, few trouble you or get on
your "bad side."
You're sensitive
and can't always digest (figuratively) what others can take.
You're known for being gentle, and overall, you are as kind as you
appear.
There are many
unusual traits of yours which help you succeed. For one
thing, you're capable of grasping concepts, firmly and easily. Plus you
can get past difficult "barriers" to get at what you need. Your methods are
characteristic
and differ from anyone else's. Also, you like having a back-up plan.
It works. Production-wise, you crank out twice as much as your peers.
You don't hoard things, either, but use them as you find them.
You're well
adapted to your abnormal life and don't believe you could live anywhere else.
You become very used to things, so that if they were gone, you don't know how you
would cope. The natural scenery that suits you best are thick hedges and overgrown
gardens, woodland edges or clearings.
At home, your room is rather untidy in its general appearance, even when you're
done cleaning it. Finished products of yours tend to suffer that same
fate. Still, both serve their purpose. (In contrast, when the place
doesn't belong to you, you'll always leave things behind neat and clean.)
Even if living with
others, you'd ideally have multiple rooms of your own - each used for a different
purpose.
It's rare to see
you about during the daytime on weekends. You emerge from your
home at night, so whereas most people are finishing the day's activities, for you it is the
reverse: you are beginning your main spell of activity. You can remain inactive for
very long periods,
but are most active during warmer weather. Really. You're a big sleeper;
you've even have received nicknames for it. But you're not always doing
one or the other. Even when you're still you manage to quiver repeatedly,
whether it be a leg shaking or a hand twiddling with a pen.
For male dormice:
You're materialistic and protective of your space.
You will fiercely defend your
mate against others.
You have a big
sweet tooth, but go without for long periods, then later gorge yourself.
(And this "gorging" doesn't necessarily have to deal with food.)
You're a flexible
person, and this ties in with your optimistic nature.
Most of the time you're not troubled by little things, but rather, you feel
above them.
Lydia's thoughts
I don't know about the attractive with prominent eye thing, I don't exactly go
up to people and say 'oo do I have prominent eyes?' but loads of people have
recently been saying my eyes are really cool and clear, so maybe... But I do
look a lot like other people, as in I keep getting mistaken for others. So it's
all a little off, but can be sort of...fitted...to me.
Now the social bit is very true, I like to be with people, but have space and
solitude, at the same time sometimes. It's all very peculiar. The silent and
fast-moving, timid and easily distressed bit is especially true in recent
events. Since Tark became this form, actually, upon reflection. And if people
not empathising with my needs mean nobody gives a crap what I'm doing, then
yeah, that's true too. ^^ I personally don't think I'm easy to figure out, but
maybe that's
because I'm so secretive. Wait. Does that make sense? It did
when I thought it. I'm cautious though. Uber cautious. And I don't really have
enemies....just not...best friends forevers. xD
"You're sensitive and can't always digest (figuratively) what others can take.
You're known for being gentle, and overall, you are as kind as you appear." Yes.
The first half definitely, the other I just hope so.
I think the German lesson on 'werden' (wink wink Mairéad) shows how capable of
grasping concepts I am. It was some weirdo thing no one understood, and that I
continually got right. I
had a method, but it was incredibly bizarre, and
I can no longer remember it. Anyway, I'm hoping with all my might I can overcome
barriers, because the big up-and-coming one is applying to American Uni's, so if
that works out, that'll be true lol. But I do have a back up plan, so that woks
too. Only thing here is that I
do hoard things. Many things. That I don't
need, but have some kind of attachment to.
I
do think I could live SOMEwhere else, but not in any other way than I
am now. I guess that's kind of the same. And I'm mildly neophobic, which is
almost the same as getting very used to things and then them leaving. I <33
greenness outside, especially secluded ones, e.g. clearings. And I mean <333. I
am messy at home but care very much about tidiness anywhere else. Very,
very much. Obsessively much. Do people
not have multiple rooms for
different purposes? That must be weird.
I wouldn't say I come out at night, but definitely not morning. ;) And it's more
than likely that it's late enough for my parents to have gone out, run a club,
gone for a walk, and have had lunch. =) Summer is my favourite season, I need
warmth. In fact I was late this very morning because it was too cold to get up
and too warm in my bed to not stay there, despite the fact it was too early. ;)
No nicknames though, not for sleeping. People don't generally care that much.
^_- Fiddling though, spot on. Can not stop for the life of me.
"For male dormice: You're materialistic and protective of your space." Not
especially, but: "You will fiercely defend your mate against others." Got it
exactly.
I gorge, oh how I gorge. Only after going without, though (which is called
purging....anywho). It's a big old circle. <heart3
Flexible, yup, optimistic, generally, and not being troubled by little things is
so me you cannot believe.
Syriel / Richard / gray fox
You are unique among your family members, (i.e. noticeably bigger
and more
intimidating). Passive though you may be, you aren't afraid to get tough
when necessary. But you still know which confrontations are best to avoid.
A passive-aggressive temperament is most suitable. You're not too fierce, but not
too timid.
Whatever your
appearance, you're an agile person in muscle and mind. You
cover ground quickly, especially when it comes to learning information.
You get through assignments with relative ease; a hard worker who's always
prepared. Typically working alone, you put things off for
longer than others, but still get things done. You take projects
step-by-step rather than letting yourself get overwhelmed. You prefer
taking on smaller tasks and getting much accomplished to tackling something
large and failing. All of this work is primarily done in the evening or at night, rather
than during
the daylight hours. You also like to expand on the work of others to make
it more useful (especially for yourself). In general, you don't have qualms about things
that have already been used. You're the kind of person
who would be happy to rummage through a thrift store.
On that note, your
food preferences and hobbies seem to change with what's
readily available. (You'll consume almost anything that can be eaten, after all.)
You're not attached to anything enough to really miss it. Your reputation
as a clever character reflects both your knowledge and resourceful behavior - always seizing
an opportunity when you see it. Your tactics range from
being extremely patient to rushing in order to snag your goal. The means
don't matter to you,
so long as you get it. When in search of something, not much can keep you
from locating it, and you readily enjoy that which you've earned.
A solitary soul,
you're generally by yourself, unless with family. You have a secretive
nature that makes it difficult for someone to know the real you. One could
say you're coarse compared to most, and possess a rather dry, cynical sense of
humor. Some might be offended by your remarks, while others are greatly
amused by them. Others would say you're too critical, and yet others would say your
voice is annoying, especially when
you're upset and chiding someone. You're quite materialistic, and it's obvious
when something belongs to you, because you're sure to make people aware of that
fact.
Peers may view
you as distant or arrogant, speaking articulately in a soft voice.
You're promptly losing your undesirable reputation, though. On your
behalf, it could be said you seldom get yourself into trouble.
You could deal with a wide variety of surroundings, but areas with a lot of
woods would be preferable. You'd like your home to be hidden - inaccessible to
strangers and unwanted company. If you encounter someone you don't like in
public, though, you
tend to stealthily move out of sight until they're gone.
If you have a
male gray fox dæmon, you don't want to burden people more than necessary, and
are
always providing for loved ones. You expect that you'll be a devoted,
protective parent when the time comes.
Richard's thoughts
This is very
accurate. I'm most definitely unique. In a... unique way. :p
I am verrrry quick. I pride myself in both physical and mental agility. And I am
definitely a fast learner. Especially when it comes to strategical things. It's
one of the reasons why I always end up beating video games within a week of
their purchase. With a couple exceptions, of course. One I still haven't beat.
And I grew up playing it. Literally. But, I'm rambling. *makes mental note to go
back to the game and try to beat it*
I do try to always be prepared. But that might just be because I've been in
scouting almost my whole life. From almost 10 years of my life, to be exact.
Well, it's drilled in there now. So it counts! I'm usually a loner. Definitely.
And I procrastinate horribly. Just don't eat me about it. :p I try to get done
what I know I can, and I go for the biggest thing I'm sure I can get done right
away. I hate having to quit in the middle of something. And I hate people who do
that. Just haaaaaate them. But anywho, I do enjoy expanding on others' ideas.
It's just... fun. Even if there's no plausible use for it.
Hmm... food... I am very picky, and at the same time not. I'll eat anything within
boundaries. I won't eat what I don't want to eat, but I'll eat anything that I
do. If that makes sense. And if I'm forced to eat what I don't want to if I've
wanted to in the past, well, let's just say I'm never eating tacos again. -_-
I consider myself an opportunist, but that's mainly because I can recognize an
opportunity better than others. And I always like to take the upper hand when it
won't come back to bite me. I mostly believe that it's best to let things run
their course, and that if there are no direct threats to me or those I care
about, it can be left alone. And if there are direct threats... well, then it's
time for immediate action. And I do believe that the end justifies the means,
but then again, I also believe that the end MUST justify the means. If you
understand my logic. Which you probably won't. :p And the end is something to be
enjoyed. Even though sometimes it's more fun getting there.
Oh, I am most definitely secretive and solitary. Most definitely. More than
anyone I know. But that's not saying much, seeing as that's not very many
people. :p And I am rather the mysterious one, and I affect people differently.
I've always found that odd...
*wolfish grin* Oh, you'd know if you've trespassed on what's mine. Might be too
late to save yourself, though. But I do think it's pretty obvious, though. And
if I make something obvious... well, let's just say violators get severely
punished.
:p Even I think I'm distant. And I admit I can be arrogant at times. But I'm
fine with it. Though I don't think I can say the same for everyone else.
I try to avoid confrontations, that much is true, but if unavoidable, or if
someone just won't take the hint, I can turn nasty.
I enjoy nature very much. It's peaceful.
I vary a lot, but no matter what, I usually always fall back to the same things.
1: I always defend what's mine.
2: I always attack back.
3: I always enjoy a chance to outwit someone.
4: Most of the time strategies I take involve taking ground from the opposition,
when it can be applied.
5: I work much better alone, mostly because it's much easier to understand how I
think myself than to explain how I think to others.
The only thing I might disagree with is working on things in the later hours. I
generally don't bother with time. If it needs to be done, I'll do it regardless
of the time. And if I decide to do something, I'll do it then and there. But
yes, that's not often. I'm a horrible procrastinator...
All in all, I'd say this is just about right.
Tomai / Kevin / Fennec fox
Small,
little, petite, diminutive... Whatever the adjective, you're just not
immense in stature. Instead you're an attractive little fellow who, like
it or not, is often called 'so cute!!' 'Beautiful,' even. And those
prominent, shining eyes add to your distinctive look. If an individual
knew everything about your personality before seeing you, they'd probably say
you aren't what they expected. You're very active, quick, agile, and
remarkably strong for your small size.
Despite a
cuddly exterior, you can sometimes have a sharp tongue. When people get
pushy with you, it's not unusual for you to get very pushy right back.
Heck, your voice can even turn into a 'high pitched yelp' of sorts.
Aggression shows through mostly when you feel threatened, or that a loved one is
being threatened. And though you sometimes blend into the background, you
tend to be more dominating when people let you feel like the superior. Ego
strokes are always welcome.
You
really do have an alluring aura that just makes people want to be close to you.
Which is a good thing, considering how sociable you are. Whether it be a
cluster of ten or a few close friends, you like attention and entertainment, and
are known for "living in a group." You're very lively and need an outlet
for all that energy. You make a good (if hyperactive) companion.
Curious, you'll get into anything and everything to humor yourself. You're
also generally unafraid of strangers and friendly towards everyone. You
may bother others, if only because you want to play with them all the time.
Around those you've known your entire life, though, you're more docile.
Seclusion from the world can be nice when you want to rest, and home is the
place where you have no enemies. And on that note, you don't like the
heat, so often spend unbearable summer days in the cool recesses of your room.
Though
naturally insightful, you can also hear the smallest sigh or softest mumble that
a friend thinks they hid from you. Some other habits of yours are being
very clean in terms of hygiene, and unlike most, you can go long periods of time
without eating or drinking. You'd be the last in that group of ten to
complain about how thirsty you are.
When it
comes to work, you think ahead, and are thus able to change directions
completely if needed. You don't waste anything - caching information away
for future use, and seeming to remember everything you've been told. You
can be patient for something until the perfect moment arises. Always
willing to expand on a project or idea to make it better, you can also work so
fast and furiously that people would say you became engulfed in your work.
You're a
very vocal person, but can also be silent as a mouse, and are known for sneaking
up on people. You rarely get aggressive with anyone, because you're able
to cool off when you feel the urge to yell coming on. You can also get
through rough times without sinking into a depression. Overall, you just
have an amiable, positive, 'can do!' attitude.
Kevin's thoughts
I would like to say that people didn't think of me as small, cute and well I
don't think anyone's called me beautiful, but I would be lying. I usually am a
small little person because I don't like to be aggressive or dangerous. However
when someone knows me they know that though I'm not a massive manly person I
don't back down from what I believe in. Active, maybe sometimes for quick
bursts. Agile, sure on the ice... though I have good balance on my feet, and I'm a
lot stronger than most think.
Well my sharp tongue usually is just used for a joking quip at someone, but
sometimes when provoked I can let loose and give someone a nice earache. This
usually does happen when someone gets too pushy or controlling or egotistical
around me. Such as when I feel threatened. I am also defensive of the people
around me, and I really do like to do the thinking or planning for them, it's a
way I show off to fish for their complements.
Well it's flattering to hear that I have an alluring aura, and I guess it's
true, often enough the people I have as friends just show up wanting to see me
or talk to me, and I get along with most people. Sociable yes, I like being
around friends and family a lot but not when it's for too long or when there are
too many people. I wouldn't say I'm hyperactive, that's the one thing that
doesn't fit in with me in this analysis. With new friends I can be much more
energetic, and with new people I have a lot of questions to ask. With those who
I've known for a long time it's different. I feel that I don't have to be as
exciting, more like I can be that steady reliable person who though isn't a huge
blast to be around all the time, is fun in a different way. I do spend a lot of
time on my own in my room drawing, reading and keeping cool. I enjoy it, it
gives me time to unwind and think.
Sometimes I do feel like I just 'get' things every so often. And I am very attuned to the
emotions of others. I always like to help friends sort things
out, my nickname among many is Dr.Phil (shudders)... I like to look spiffy on
special occasions, though my hair gets the best of me a lot, and I hate that
grungy unclean feeling at the end of the day. I can go long periods without
eating and drinking but when I do I eat a lot!
Well my work usually is thorough and well thought out. And I love learning about
the little details and pulling them out when no one expects it (just to prove my
own intellect usually). Remembering everything ever, no, but that might just be
me, I'm usually good at remembering unimportant things, or things that affect
me. Other than that it's a blur. I do have a good memory of events in my life
though; it makes me who I am, so I remember it. Patience, yup, absolutely it's
one of the keys to being happy or else you get stressed. Sometimes when I get
interested in what I'm doing, I just zone out, let my ideas take me away.
Sometimes I suppose I can become engulfed, and when all is done I am
self-conscious of any comments I get.
Vocal, well I always voice opinions and love to chat and amuse. When I'm silent
it's usually because I've been offended (I retreat into me), I don't
know enough about the topic, or I am bursting to say something but know I
shouldn't because it will offend. I love to sneak up on people and surprise or
scare them, (hehe) especially at night when I can get a yelp out of them. I used
to be quite negative. But now I hate those people who are always putting ideas
and people down. It gets you nowhere and it's impractical. Depression, only
every once and a while, and I usually take time off to think it through and get
better quickly. Remember everyone, if someone says you're to small to make a
difference then they've never been in a tent with a mosquito. :)
Birn / Pearl / sea gull
Nothing about your appearance
immediately sets you apart, but you're still conspicuous and easily identified by your buoyant
attitude and loud laugh. You might even be looked upon as a noisy, greedy pest, but among
your friends, away from other people, your behavior is much different. Many are familiar
with your voice because you're such an outspoken character. You're very sociable and
prefer being around others. You're not as crazy about younger children, though, and are only
kind to them when they show the proper respect.
Along with goofing off, you can also be plaintive at times. You're able to read people and
their gestures. You understand the subtleties of communication.
You're more aggressive than passive, and look bigger when you're ticked off. You're a
vigorous defender - one who will clearly (and loudly) state your intent to stand fast. You'll
even threaten the person if they go too far.
You like to subsist on easy pickings, and aren't above taking things you want when they're left
unattended for an extended time. But this doesn't mean you aren't talented. Rather than
being great at a variety of things, your forte is specializing. One thing you have a knack for is
finding what you want; you're always on the lookout for something. Also, you're good at
working in areas that are different from the norm, possessing surprising ingenuity. If things
go wrong early on, you're willing to start over and replace what you lost.
You feel like you have to be near the water, but at the same time, don't like venturing far
from land. Once a home is well established, you are faithful to it and reluctant to move
elsewhere. You help keep places clean, too, though not for a love of cleaning. When it
comes to vittles, you used to be a fussy eater, but now you'll eat almost anything.
As a gull soul, the traits you should take the most pride in are being very caring, useful,
trusting, and comical.
Pearl's thoughts
Wow, a homerun. I guess you hear that a lot. It's true that I don't try to stand out
appearance-wise, partly because I like to let people judge me based on my personality and
partly because I'm average-looking to begin with. But that kind of thing doesn't bother me. I
do have a loud laugh, and when I'm excited about saying something I talk loudly too - and my
New York accent comes out a little bit. It's also true about the buoyant attitude - I try not to
let anything get me down. If something bad happens I'll change it if I can, but if I can't I
forget it and move on to cheerful things, because really that's all one can do, eh?
Yeah, people see me as noisy, and sometimes a pest - but I do try to get on everyone's good
side when that happens. With friends it's different because I know what they think of me, and
I can be a little easier - and I also know exactly when enough is enough for them. I am an
outspoken person - I always remark on whatever is going in, and make sure I'm heard. I'm
not a bossy or naggy person, though, honest! Heh. I am very social. Like I said, I try to be
friendly with everyone, even folks I don't care for. I spend time with my good friends as often
as I can, and even feel a little guilty when I haven't spent time with them outside of school for
a few days. As for children, I love little babies, but I get annoyed at the slightly older ones
who are rude or don't listen to me.
Goofing off comes naturally to me. But I am pretty good at reading people. If I'm very close
with someone I can usually tell how they're feeling just by looking at them. And I know when
to shut up or to say something kind if a person is in a bad mood - or at least, I try to.
I seem like a passive person to the casual observer, but I am aggressive - except when I can
clearly see that I'm in way over my head. I defend myself, my friends and my interests, but I
also try to keep a little humor in it as well so that fights don't get too serious. If it does in fact
get serious, like if someone "goes too far" as you put it, I try to match it. When I'm sure about
something, I'm confident enough to argue for it without hesitation, and physical fighting - if
only in the form of casual roughhousing with my friends or my brother - is something I'm
pretty good at, and I love to do it. Gets the adrenaline going, y'know?
As for easy pickings? That hits home the most. Some people don't like that I try to take "the
easy way out" most of the time - but I like to think of it as a talent! Frankly I should be
awarded a medal for being able to get by so well by doing so little. Plus I have a real talent
for making excuses and getting people to lend me a few quarters for food, if I do say so
myself. Of course, when I owe someone or when I know a task is very important, I never
slack. It's important to me that others trust me to get things done when they really need it.
That said, if I know that an easy way and a hard way will yield the same result, I will always
take the easy way. Hey, why shouldn't I?
I'm not good at too many things, but the few things I can do, I'm among the best of my peers.
(You know, it doesn't seem so from the way I talk about myself, but I really am a humble
person ... I swear.) What I mean is, you're absolutely right about specializing. I do have a
knack for finding things I need, or at least making use of whatever's around. I do work in
areas different from the norm. I do comics - not just in my spare time as something amusing
to show my friends, but as my life's passion. I'm told my drawing's best quality is that my style
is unique, and that it doesn't show influence from established styles as most other cartooning
does. I hope that's true ... it gets kind of lonely being the only comics writer I know
personally, though. I'm not a great drawer technically yet, but people say. I'm great at thinking
up weird ideas and concepts, and that looking at my stranger drawings is like taking a tab of
acid. (For serious.) So, yeah .. ingenuity, I guess is what I'm saying. If not in all areas of my
life, than just the ones that matter to me.
As for water and land, I didn't think much of that part at first. Then I realized I have only ever
lived on islands. Well. And its absolutely true that I don't want to live anywhere else! But
then, what sane person WOULD want to leave NYC? I keep clean not because I like to but
because I feel guilty if I don't- its not fair to others and I don't want people to know that I'm a
slob! And I don't care what it is I eat, so long as it tastes alright.
And hey, the traits you listed are in fact ones I either take pride in or strive to embody.
Brattigan / Kitty / European wildcat
You don't appear graceful at a glance with your cumbersome gait. People perceive you as savage for your size, with a capacity be ferocious, surly, and downright vicious. But you'd like to think of yourself as having "inherent ferocity."
You're generally solitary and avoid mingling with groups, though you're willing to make friends with different kinds of people. You're open to a wide range of cultures. You like to be with one good friend, or hanging out with family. If being followed or pestered, you will quickly find an escape route. You hate when your space is invaded, and make a point not to invade the space of others.
You're one to think ahead - saving for now what you may need later. But on that note you can also be a procrastinator. You get up early and are active during the day, but work on important matters in the evening or nighttime. You enjoy the night and like being on the move when it's dark outside. You're able to adapt to a variety of places - even places most others would avoid. You're not bothered by the cold, but dislike too much snow.
Even if you appear timid, deep down you're not afraid of anybody and will fiercely attack someone who threatens a loved one. (In ways you are *overly* protective.) You're vocal about what you want, and what you're interested in is a long-term relationship.
Kitty's thoughts
I definitely don't look very graceful. I'm rather clumsy in fact, but sometimes when I'm not concentrating I'll do a little movement or something and people will ask if I'm a dancer. I even walk kerlumpedly (as it's been described). "Inherent ferocity"... I agree with that. I know I can be vicious when things get to me, and when this happens I'm not afraid to show it and at times snap at people for no apparent reason.
I don't have many friends but the ones I do have I treasure, I don't make friends easily because of my aloof appearance and indeed I don't mind being alone, even prefer it. I freak out when people walk into my room unannounced or without my consent and I'm pretty respectful of others' things. Also, I hate it if somebody tries to get to know/befriend me when I don't want them to, I take drastic measures to avoid them or push them away (though I usually feel bad afterwards nobody can change my feelings).
I love to plan ahead and rarely spend my money "in case I need it later", preferring to save it for something big. But I DO procrastinate, getting home and relaxing all day then starting my homework at around six, perhaps finishing at nine. I never close my curtains because I like looking out at night and being woken by the sun in the early morning. I never sleep late either, I get up at six or seven even on the weekends, sometimes earlier. It's boring to lie in bed all day.
I love to travel and enjoy going on long overnight car trips. I find it sort of comforting. I also love the feeling of being awake while everyone else is asleep - though I don't necessarily stay up all night expressly for this pleasure. I'm almost instantly comfortable in strange places and can make them my own quite easily. And I don't get cold when others do - last year I went the entire winter without wearing my blazer to school once - and even take pleasure in cooler weather.
I express myself whenever I can and I'm not afraid of sharing my opinions, often being unpleasantly honest. I can be shy (still working on that) but wrong me and incur my WRATH. I'll stand up for a friend or family member at a pinch, although I often express this subtly, making a less-serious joke out of it or people find it kinda creepy.
All in all, that's incredibly disturbingly accurate. Enough to make the dæthiests believe.
Once again, BIG THANKS for spending time on this. Isn't it weird how it works out?? I mean, if I had doubts Brat was a EW they may be considered vanquished. As of now. I mean, that is FREAKY. I don't think I'll be able to get over the shock for a while... it's one thing to read about this stuff but to experience it... whoah.
