MEME! Because we love them yes we do

OKAY so.

Last night I had this really funky dream where most of the bar ended up with daemons thanks to an explosion from Sefina Pekkala's magic (yes I know I spelled that wrong, and yes I know it's weird-but I fell asleep reading the book) I think half the bar ended up getting like-big cats and/or dangerous animals, which made me curious. In Terms of Meme-

According to Wikipedia:

A dæmon in the Philip Pullman trilogy His Dark Materials, is a physical manifestation of the soul of a conscious person. Many characteristics of a daemon match the concepts from other cultures or psychology.

If your character had a daemon, what would it be and why?

If your character's from HDM-no cheating. You already got yours. :D

Edit

And since I forgot, and this doubly applies-

police forces in most major cities use police dogs to track criminals, sniff out illegal materials, search buildings, and do other jobs human police officers can't do as well as a dog can. If a psychic cop can't do that, then-well. *sniffs*

Clearly, Matt's daemon would be a police dog, specifically a german shepard, since that's what the LAPD uses most of the time. *eyes resources*

*thud*

*looks Adiva-wards*

*SAYS NOTHING*

--DUDE I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. *giggling*

But I like this meme. :D

Ben Skywalker's would be a Killik (ew giant bugs).

DESMOND'S WOULD BE A POLAR BEAR.

... I will have to think more for the rest...

....POLAR BEAR.

Oh god that'd go over well on the island. BRILLIANTLY well.

Jack: ....WTFPOLARBEAR!
DeS: ...don't shoot brotha. Don't shoot. He's um-my soul.

Locke:...O_O. I KNEW IT.

9 out of 10 crackchats (distinct from people in crackchats) agree. Makita would likely be a mongoose.

Atton's might be a coyote. Connotations of thieving and trickery and not many morals and all that. And the similarity to dogs, because he really will do anything for a treat.

I may have to think more about the others.

'The snowy owl has eyes that look just like mine, especially when it widens them. And while I stand there, staring at it, lowering my sunglasses, something unspoken passes between me and the bird--'

page 297. American Psycho

Sands' would be a weasel or a stoat, or one of those twitchy rodent creatures that are prone to biting people.

Luna's would have to be a platypus, because they're completely bizarre.

MORE LIKE A WOLVERINE.

(They're of the same genus or whateva)

I'm pretty sure both Mike and Raph would get little humans.
...
Or is that not allowed?

Oh no, that's allowed. I don't think it's allowed in Canon, but It'd explain why the penguins mentally ended up with like-a little special ops team to themselves in my head.

I wrote something a long, long time ago where Wash's daemon was a northern mockingbird. This was before I remembered that it's usually only witches who end up with bird daemons, but still: a pilot who doesn't know when to shut up? I think it fits. *g* (Plus, they're fiercely territorial, and we all know what happens if you go after Wash's family or ship.)

Mac's would be one of those slightly prickly, standoffish cats that melt into a puddle of fur when you hit just the right spot behind their ears.

Mercer doesn't really count, but his would be a crane. Go back a few millenia and it would have been a dog.

"This was before I remembered that it's usually only witches who end up with bird daemons..."

Not necessarily. There was a ship's captain in the first book who had a seagull daemon, if memory serves.

And Wash's daemon would pretty much have to be a bird of some sort.

Chloe O'Brian: chipmunk.

Lenny Inchpot: beaver.

Salazar Slytherin: AHAHAHA Snake.

Renfield: Spider.

Lock Shock and Barrel: an afghan (dog) siamese (cat) and a scorpion.

Sally the Ragdoll: Definitely a cat.

Nita . . . would probably not have a whale for a daemon, though that's my first instinct. More likely -- particularly in light of Milliways -- an owl of some sort.

Eustace would have a ~~dragon~~ terrier; kind of annoying sometimes, but smart, loyal, and determined.

Carmela would have a monkey (not a golden one, though).

Ann would have a ~~really BIG monkey~~ butterfly.

Guinevere, for some reason, strikes me as a stag.

Charles . . . lord, I have not the faintest idea.

An egyptian Kitty!

a-whasamacallit. Mao.

.......

I can't deciiiiiiiide!

Nobody say 'Vampire bat'. No one.

~~VAMPIRE BAT~~

Or a black leopard?

Tom's Patronus is a king cobra, so that would be his.

Susan Pevensie would be a swan.

Ingress, I just realized, would be a lion. HOW IRONIC.

Governor Swann would be a St. Bernard.

Suzi would be a house kitten. Probably gray, I always think of a gray fluff-ball of a kitten when I think of her.

Lissar would have a large, moon-white dog. *coughAshcough*

Dream...is not applicable.

Semirhage would have...I don't know. Something beautiful, but deadly. Black widow spider, maybe?

Michael's...I find myself wanting to say 'hyena' or 'jaguar.'

We did this one forever ago, I think...but I cannot remember what I wrote, so:

Will: Duh. Kirjava, the black cat, is his perfect match.

Caspian: I think I'd given him an albatross before, but I can't remember. It seems to fit anyway, though.

Anne: ...is really hard to tell. A fox, maybe?

Tia Dalma: ...gets ~~the Greenwitch~~ none. For obvious reasons.

Finch: A bloodhound (the even have simliar facial characteristics!)

Utena: I'd say a horse. A white one. ^_^

Jack: I'm thinking your general mutt.

No. HAH I AM WRONG. Jack's is totally a coyote: they're both damn annoying and persistent.

The Prince: Gets a cricket.

And cause I figured I'd better insert the rest of my puppets-

Vesper: Would be a tabby cat (One man/person cat, sort of distainful, doesn't like to be hugged) or a fishing cat because of the ability to look harmless, but do lots of damage, takes a while to open up-etc.

The Master Chief: ....Canon says he's "Like an Eagle. Fast and Deadly" So I'd say that before it settled it might flirt with the idea of a bird, but then he'd settle into a wolf.

The Penguins: .....Are penguins. I want someone to have a penguin daemon.

John Preston: I'd say originally that Preston would get some kind of bird of prey because he's a loner, dangerous, but also like- The Eagles were into monogamy-so originally I'd say he'd either be a eagle or a like-doberman. I'd lean towards the eagle.

Jon Snow- Has one. Ghost is his daemon in more ways then one.

Sarah Radcliff- Probably something small and dangerous that you'd never expect to be. Like....a lemur.

Suzi would faint in fangirly love at a penguin one. But she's a kitten.

Okay...

Ishamael a.k.a. Elan Morin: A rat. We see him with them in canon, and he's known for being very fond of them, though he often tortures and destroys them as frequently. It also is very nice given his status as The Betrayer.

Asmodean: a nightingale. These birds are said to have the most beautiful of all songs, but they only sing at night.

As for the others... I don't know, maybe a mole for Nina? *grins*

Shelley says that Ishamael having a rat is very fitting, seeing how he is one and all.

Hard to say.

Either an Imperial eagle. . .

. . . or a draft horse. Gentle, hardworking, and with a hell of a kick if it ever wants to act up.

A draft horse. That's rather excellent and insightful.

And yay, another DC character. I think we know what Kendra's daemon would be.

Cliff? Eeep. Um.

A dog too. Beagle or maybe a hound dog. ...*got Old Yeller stuck in my head for some reason*

During events with Blodwen, it was figured out then that the White Winged Tern fit well as a symbol for Wellard- and it still fits well as a daemon.

I would like to say snake fpr Delia, but probably a mink - slinky and pretty with tiny little sharp teeth.

Mordred'd be a wolf. Pack-animal at heart, pettable sometimes but dangerous.

Fiona should be a cat, but she hates them.

Morgan is a magpie :D

Aj is a MONKEY! A spider-monkey, to be exact. Clever and curious and close to human.

Or possibly a lioness, but I'm going more monkey.

....interesting. *chuckles*

Rachel: Herself, or some odd clone, probably in hound mark up. It's all the beast she's ever needed.

Abe: A Red Monkey.

Khem: Leopard of course

Wish: Butterfly, or Dragonfly

Ehehe.

Shelley's is a kitten. Tiny, innocent, leaves messes everywhere but completely unintentionally, and is so cute that most people don't mind; mostly helpless but has very sharp teeny-tiny claws - and apparently also has nine lives.

Harth's is... hmm. Something vicious and lonely. From a species that has no trouble breeding with it's siblings. Ahem.

Jack's is... don't say rabbit, Amy... Oh, wait, I'm stupid. Clearly, it's a pterodactyl. *eyedart*

Havelock's is a lizard of some kind. Still and silent most of the time, then fast action usually ending in something's death.

I can't picture Kendra Saunders - aka Hawkgirl - here with anything but a huge hawk. It's burnt into her soul at this point.

Mary Anne brings to mind something pretty and predatory, which made me think lynxes, but she also has the nickname 'wren'. According to wikipedia:

It is notable that fairy-wrens are socially monogamous and sexually promiscuous: pairs will bond for a long time, but mate with other individuals.

So that makes me giggle. Any suggestions from the peanut gallery?

Lioness.

Male lions don't hunt. The female lions do (Mary Anne's the one who stayed in Vietnam) They tend to be very set as far as mates go, but they're not above shagging other male lions.
