I'd say an owl for Richard. Solitary, fly around to distance yourself from things, but also potentially as a way to discover more, old association to wisdom...

And after thinking about it, a raven for Marina. Clever, opportunistic, and despite the apparent squabbling, dedicated to their families...

...Had a daemon.

He doesn't talk about it.

Tom's Daemon... Uh, hm. I dunno. Although he's probably try to alledge it would be the system daemon. Which is probably the most adorable little daemon ever but not really fitting for Tom.

Jack: Blue jay. Confident, talkative, and fiercely protective of what he loves.

Harvey: Badger. Patient, organized, and self-reliant.

That was fun!

I did this years ago for all my guys! I've been a fan of the series for ages :D rummages

I guess I'll just list some of the ones who actually got mentioned in my works...

• Cassie Young - a hare, named Matareka
• Nat Freidar - a squirrel, named Corwynn
• Kelvin Talathion - a kingfisher, named Arianwen
• Lyra Mackenzie - a wildcat, named Kaivao
• Cara Fielding - a cat, named Njord
• William Marshall - a peregrine falcon, named Maeghen
• Amber Dashel - a roe deer, named Hisoka
• Luke Celinus - a horse, named Lalita
• Jessie Lancaster - a barn owl, named Ayden
• Russell Holston - a red wolf, named Olwen
• Kayla Richards - a lion, named Asher
• Faith Felix - a wolverine, named Vailean
• Andrew Reed - a sparrowhawk, named Vesna
• Dayn Aisenhek - an otter, named Aislin

Plus there's a few kids whose daemons havent settled yet.

And I'll stop there. XD

• Alantha: Deer, of course! Sweet and friendly, but puts up a fight when her back's to the wall.
• Allanya: Wolf, or maybe bear. Wild-hearted, spiritual, and fiercely protective of those she cares about.
• Aelis: Falcon. Sharp-eyed and solitary, preferring to keep her distance from the chaos of ground level.
• Nowhere: Squirrel. Cheerful and resourceful, with a deep knowledge of the forest.
• Ava: Coyote. Fierce and cunning, with endless tricks up her sleeve.
• Ailienas: Goat. Stubborn, passionate, and good at getting into places she shouldn't.
• Feloriel: Snow leopard. Seemingly dignified and aloof, but has a softer side.
• Falloren: Raven. Intelligent, willful, and fond of collecting trinkets.
• Itae: Collie. Sociable and optimistic, with a work-hard-play-hard attitude.
• Iria: Rabbit. Timid, agile, and driven by instinct.
• Faylise: Ferret. Playful and witty, with a knack for sneaking around and stealing things.
• Eladria: Lion. Brave and showy, but fiercely loyal.
• Nathas: Tiger. Consummate hunter in tune with nature.
• Leah: Dove. Gentle, devout, and loves to fly.
• Reiya: Cow. Generous and kind, with a fondness for simple pleasures.
• Cor Caroli: Butterfly. Sociable and gentle, and her Polari heritage ties her to the sort of delicate beauty butterflies represent.

...whew. I have a lot of these.

Wobbles: Western bluebird

Having a bluebird for her makes sense because they're a symbol for happiness in a variety of cultures, and the Western bluebird's relevance is twofold. First, it's actually from where she's from -- as a Twilight angstfic refugee, she's technically a native of Washington State. Second, it has very brightly coloured plumage but with a brown and grey underbelly, which represents her putting on a bright and colourful mask to try and hide her own insecurities.

Lola: Australian razorback

Feral pigs are a problem in Australia, especially in Queensland, which is like Florida but with more things trying to kill you. They're often a product of delib erate introduction during the acclimatization days, and they're a serious pest. They also have a reputation for being tough as old boots and hard to put down. A pest that just won't give up? That says XCOM to me.

Algie: Purebred lemon and white basset hound

Basset hounds are stumpy, wobbly, and have a slight air of defeat about them. They are also utterly charming or utterly insufferable, depending on who you ask. The lemon and white coloration is uncommon in a purebred, representing Algie's own uniqueness in the PPC and his family (a practical magician coming from a long line of Navy men). The basset is a purebred, yes, but they were also scenthounds purpose-built for hunting hare, and Algie's a slightly ponderous soul whose gift is for tracking down the considerably more flighty Suvians of the multiverse.

The Notary: Eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly

It's come up from time to time, but the Notary didn't have a happy time of it. The one thing she remembers fondly about it was going to the butterfly sanctuary in Arcadia, where the gentle downlands and rolling hillsides made her feel safe and happy at a time when very little else did. The eastern tiger swallowtail is also dressed in elaborate yellow and black, much as the Oncoming Form is herself, and has a glitter of silver about it too; that this is an Earth butterfly is also an indication that she's warming to her human partner.

•The Aviator: A raven. Clever, aggressive, loves shiny objects. She and her daemon would probably squabble over her Suvian wand collection.

•Zeb: No, not a lion. Very likely a guard dog of some sort, probably a German Shepherd.

•Elanor's obviously not going to have a fixed animal, but for the time being she probably loves keeping her daemon as a fluffy chinchilla.

•Ix: Not a wolf. Not a hare, either, though that's what her Patronus is. I think hers would be a chicken. They get quite the sterotype of being cowardly, but they can actually be quite vicious.

•Charlotte: No, not a spider. :P I think hers would actually be a beaver. She might gripe and moan at having to learn how to be a human and how to fight without her super strength, but she works hard at it and enacts change on what might seem impossible. Beavers with their dams—and her becoming human again. Not to mention beavers mate for life. D'aww.

•Dax: As tempting as it is to say chameleon, I think his would be a rat. Why? Because changelings can blend in to every environment, and barring a few places where you won't find rodents, rats are found all over the world. Not to mention most of his life is based on deception, and rats hardly have kind associations.

•Lorson: A kangaroo. Because they jump like crazy and won't hesitate to kick the sh*t out of you.

•Zaphoriel: sputters "A demon?! I beg your pardon?!" In all seriousness—he's an angel, so he's got no soul to manifest as an animal.

•Alex Dives: A ring-tailed lemur. He's always working with his hands, he's clever, and he loves climbing.

•Farilan: This one's tricky, because I was flip-flopping between solitary animals and herd animals. I think I'll go with an alpaca, because although they're definitely herd animals, they're also quite mean and territorial.

-Iximaz needs to pare down her agents

(Bonus round: Agents who have made it into RPs but aren't canon yet)

•Erica Ambrose, the Mutants and Masterminds Jack Harkness stand in. Hers is a rabbit. Use your imagination.

•Jinx: A black cat. I mean, come on—it's right there in the name.

Well, Nume first, because he was pretty easy: a skunk. He puts up this elaborate defensive front because he really doesn't want a fight, and would be perfectly happy left alone to curl up in his den. {= P

Derik: a swan. Maybe a trumpeter swan, known for its distinctive voice (video). Plus, in addition to everything the SunSigns article says about partnership, artistry, emotions, ties to sea and air, etc., swans can be pretty nasty and will beat you up if you mess with them or their family.

Jenni: a robin. Really. I was as surprised as anyone by how well it fits her. That's not why I chose her surname at all!

Ilraen: a shepherd. Figured he'd be some sort of canine, being the loyal and people-pleasing sort. This seems to encapsulate that and more.

Gall: a goat. Specifically one of Scandinavian breeds, of course. Small, but tough, clever, agile, eats almost anything, and really hard-headed. ^_^

~Neshomeh

(Edit: I forgot my signature. Good grief.)

So for Kat, I feel like I can only really choose an eagle, that being her bird form... but does that really fit her personality that well? I don't actually think it does. I think I see her as more of... (this is harder than I expected it to be) a dolphin? That sort of makes sense - clever, but in a playful sort of way, and not taking herself too seriously.

Edward, on the other hand, I could definitely see working well as an eagle: a ruthless "predator", working alone... yes, that fits very well.

For Mira, my first thought is black cat... and it makes reasonable sense too. Again, solitary and untrusting, with depths you rarely see.

The question is because I had an immediate answer: Kaitlyn's would be a hedgehog, and Selene's either a wolf or a bat... but those are their Patronuses. Obviously those are very different manifestations, but my question is: what's the difference in the way you decide what they are? 'You' as a writer in this case.

I suppose there's an element of the Patronus showing what you think your personality is (or want it to be?), while the daemon shows what it actually is. I think Kaitlyn still gets a hedgehog for both, but Selene is more bat-like than she would like to believe.

Dafydd, of course, already carries a small animal around on his shoulder, and it's hard to imagine a more emblematic creature than a fire lizard. Having a fictional daemon probably messes with the canon a bit, but... he's Dafydd. He does that.

hS

Ollie: Ollie's an expressive fellow with a flair for the dramatic, so I think he'd have a peacock.

Marie: A rat. She's small, quick, and clever, but if someone's in trouble she'll do her best to help them out. Also surprisingly social.

Jesse: I was thinking they'd have a wolf, but Jesse's not much of a team player. So, I picked barn owl. They're a hunter and defensive of what they say is theirs. They are also constantly ready to throw down more than any of my other children or Delkhii.

Delkhii (he's a janitor, not an agent, but deserves a place on this list): Delkhii's deamon would probably be one of those little birds that clean an alligator's teeth, since he's totally willing to clean up your mess but usually only if it benefits him in some way. He also lives vicariously through his agent friends.
