Everyone has their Daemons

 


If you are under the impression this is Stelmaria, proud snow leopard-daemon of Lord Asriel, you are most mistaken. While a powerful daemon indeed, this is my own, which I was assigned via the quasi-official daemon sorting offered on the movie-official site when The Golden Compass debuted back in 2007. 

Her name is Anthora and, much like with my Sorting Hat quiz on Pottermore, I was so honestly enamored with the results I refuse to take another one. I'm probably not going to do better than Gryffindor as far as Hogwarts Houses, and I'm certainly not going to have a daemon settle as anything better than a snow leopard. Okay, personally I would have loved to have scored a wolf as that has been my favorite animal ever since I was a kid, and admittedly I am more of a dog person than a cat one, but still ...

And as appealing a thought as having a real, fully grown snow leopard softly padding beside me as I go about my daily business may be, I opted for this little critter courtesy of the Aurora Store as a nice symbolic representation. If only my deepest, truest self were that effortlessly adorable. Not to mention I thought she might play as a nice mascot here at Building the Republic. So welcome aboard Anthora, and may we never have to separate, witch-style. 

Does anyone else have a settled daemon they just can't seem to let go of? 



And as Always
