Daemon / totem animal

[vilakins]

A meme from communicator and jomacmouse so far. I've never read the books and I don't intend to, but I liked my daemon / totem animal so much, I had to post him and, unlike the others, not let anyone change him.

I did it for Vila too and he got a female whippet called Lysandra. People can change it if they disagree.

Apparently there are different wild cats you can get, but I was happy to stay with that one.

You would be - he's very sleek. Yes, definitely don't let him be changed.

PURR. It is v. nice, indeed. I haven't read the books either, but I'm going to give it a go just to see if I get a lynx.

kalypso_v got a lynx called Sirian/Sirion but didn't post it, so it's possible!

I got a hare! I always associate them with braininess since the one person I know to have a hare spirit animal is a very, very brainy supergenius.

The books are great - nothing to do with Harry Potter. They're harsh and somewhat cruel, although the heroes are kids.

They're harsh and somewhat cruel

And very cynical too. All good reasons for me to avoid them.

cynical???? Why? it's all about learning and discovering and finding peace of mind. And the last one is mostly about the desolation of death - they free the captive souls from their underground prison.
When I said it was harsh, it was because the main characters - who are kids - are not treated like kids. Their emotions and desires are similar to adults' and they suffer a lot.

Why do you think it is cynical?

From things I have heard from others. I read for pleasure and I have plenty of other books piled up ready.

According to the books it is very unusual for your daemon to be the same sex as you are, so those two seem to be following that convention. Must try it1

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It does say that in the quiz, and asks for one's sex.

You got the same as me and like you I don't want to change him either, mine is called Alexius!

I've noticed that the names don't go with the shape.

Ooh, pretty! Hmm, I may have to do this one now...

I wasn't going to post mine till I saw what I got. The site is very Myst BTW.

Mine's up on my blog now. I got a very pretty wolf. And a fairly accurate-sounding description. :)
