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*

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...

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.

....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.

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.

I'm pretty sure both Mike and Raph would get little humans.

Or is that not allowed?

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.

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.

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.

But I like this meme. :D

I've decided Mike would name his Dick. You know...just in case you're curious.

What?!?

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.

MORE LIKE A WOLVERINE.

(They're of the same genus or whateva)

VAMPIRE BAT

Or a black leopard?

CURSES!

That's so kuh-razy it JUST MIGHT WORK!

Hmmm.

If not the awesomeness that is a big cat, maybe some kind of peacock. Jack's likened him to one, at least.

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.

So much prettier than a pheasant (http://www.pheasant.com/content/files/images/1623_melanisticmutant.jpg).

That is a somewhat groty bird, and hardly vain enough.

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?
