My Daemon!

[pipistrellafelix]

So I know I should be doing homework, but this is a break from painstaking research on Donne. Plus, I mean, DAEMONS. Seriously. (Also I took the test twice & it gave me an ocelot both times, so even though I tend to think of my daemon leaning more toward the pinemarten/ermine side of animals, ocelot was the one I chose when we made cat-people characters as a kid, & hey...I'll take him.)

It's a girl. Her name's Eamalia.

She's a tiger.

I was honestly kind of surprised, especially at the "solitary" part (I prefer to think of it as "independent", I'm plenty social when I want to be.) I didn't think I had answered any of the social questions any lower than "neutral". I tried artificially upping my more social answers ("of course I LOVE crowds!!! YAY!") and I got a Crow, and a Spider, in that order. I figure I'll stick with my tiger.

well, hallo, eamalia.

I'm not suprised.


(& I would see the solitary part as not necessarily preferring solitude to socializing always, but being particular about socializing & who with, & also wanting to take time away from most people every once in a while. That's how I am, anyway. "independent" is probably better, but the webmaster might not be a word geek.)

Maybe. I'm actually not at all picky about who I socialize with, I find that I like the vast majority of people I meet, even if sometimes they clash horribly when they meet each other.

But now that I think about it, I do work on my own by default. I prefer taking time to spend on my own, and while I like to lead in groups, I almost always choose independence over being a follower in one. I'm not really a part of any one tight-knit group, I'm a regular guest to many different ones. Even if I work well with others and really like others, most of my life is spent alone.

It's a strange thing to realize.

Daemons are suggestions, I think, more than directions for how someone is. Which is to say that none of the adjectives that associate with tiger are necessarily how you are all the time, so being a happily social tiger is not an oxymoron, I suppose.
If she were real, you could ask her...although daemons are notoriously evasive on the subject of themselves.
