OC As Animals Tag

Thank you for the tag, @writernopal.

Passing the tag to @blind-the-winds, @ceph-the-ghost-writer, @writingpotato07, @cljordan-imperium, @sam-glade, @elshells, and an open tag to anyone reading this who wants to do this.

Rules: Choose any Oc/s and pick an animal that relates to them and why. You can also include images or drawings of your own but don't have to.

The Archivist's Journal:

The Archivist - Cat

The Archivist is explicitly compared multiple times throughout the story to a moderately friendly stray cat that keeps coming around that everyone likes to feed but is never really part of the family.

Cass - Cockatoo

Noisy, showy, intelligent, part of a large flock, and capable of strong affection toward a single person. She wants to fly free. A bird suits her. And the yellow crest on some of them kind of matches her hair in color, if not in shape.

Lin - Raven

A psychopomp and herald of death. Or so she thinks of herself on bad days when faced with the fact that ultimately all she can do for the old is make them comfortable as they pass on. But the raven is instead a trickster figure in some mythologies, much more fun to hear about and be around (and perhaps fitting for the Archivist's observations of her metaphorical mask around most people). And again, pairing of hair and feather color.

Also, Ravens in the Library.

Vernon - Sheep Dog

Everybody loves a big friendly dog, and everybody loves Vernon. And there's some comparisons to be made between acting as one of the Village's official mediators and watching over a flock. Plus, his parents are literally shepherds.

Maiko - Cat

Another stray, but the kind that's super skittish and needs to be handled with patience and gentleness over a long period of time before she'll get close. The sort of cat that seems aloof until she curls up on your lap and starts purring.

Empty Names:

Lacuna - Cat

Another ca,t but a house cat this time. The sort that is intensely bonded to one person but hides whenever strangers come over. And the sort that ends up in funny videos on the internet doing stupid stuff. Falls hard into "curiosity killed the cat," but actually remembers the second half of the saying that satisfaction brought it back. Also, trans anime catgirl memes.

Ashan - White Peacock

Images of elegance, refinement, and mysticism combined with the visual parallels between the long ornate tale male peacocks are known for with the wizard in robes who frequently gets mistaken for a beautiful woman in a dress.

Eris - Pig

Smarter and a better companion than most are willing to acknowledge. Capable of being incredibly destructive if left alone to go feral.

Sullivan - Golden Orb Weaver Spider

Not sure why, but spider was the first thing that jumped to mind for Sullivan here. The connotations of sneaky predation and hanging in the shadows? Affinity for venom? The common imagery of spiderwebs for networks of connections? The necessary function of removing pests? Some combination of that. And this particular variety because gold. He's got his shtick and he's keeping to it.

Road - Dragon

Dragons. Everyone has their own idea of what they're like, even if only one or two of a few core traits usually shows up in all of them. Whatever the depiction they're undeniably grand, larger than life staples of fantasy. Most importantly, dragons aren't real.

Agent Ace

Sophia - Hyena

It took me awhile to think of a good match for her personality, but a hyena ended up being the perfect fit! Sophia is street-smart and highly adaptable to any situation. Her wits and courage are what make her such an accomplished agent, and she won't shy away from a challenge. At the same time, she has the capacity to be affectionate. While her job doesn't allow her many chances to connect with her family, she is protective to the point of being impulsive.

Harley - Fox

Foxes unfortunately tend to be associated with more negative connotations of deceit and trickery. However, I choose to view them as crafty and clever, which is exactly how I feel about Harley! She's incredibly smart, focused, and determined in every aspect of her life, with an innovative streak as an inventor. And like her sister, the hyena, which are in a completely different family from foxes but don't think about it too much, she's good at improvising on the fly, although she's more likely to avoid trouble if she can help it.

Janus - Panther

This was the first animal that popped into my head when I thought of Janus (and honestly, black cats in general). Graceful, elusive, powerful, and absolutely thriving in his environment, there have been times where I've even described his movements as cat-like on page. Adaptability seems to be a big theme when it comes to my characters; he faces problems head-on and depends almost exclusively on himself, considering himself a leader and a visionary.

Jade - Otter

Another easy one! Jade is the embodiment of everything an otter represents—outgoing, confident, fun-loving and utterly adorable. She's full of energy and highly motivated, sure that there isn't a puzzle she can't solve. That kind of wisdom and creativity are what make her so compatible with Harley, and their relationship is the mere image of otters holding hands in their sleep.

Max - Owl

This was the toughest one by far, but in the end, Max as an owl just makes sense. Logical and highly critical of himself, he never makes a move until he has all the facts, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. His plans are meticulous and well-thought-out, as long as he keeps a clear head. While he prefers to keep the peace, he has a hidden strength and potential as a badass fighter.

Thanks to @sender-paulson for the tag! I'll be tagging @j-1173, @cwritesfiction, and @moonbridgedaisies

Cleo

A goose. She looks really cool and like someone you would totally want to befriend, but don't get too close. Approach in the wrong way (really just any way at all), and you risk being brutally attacked physically and/or verbally.

Lorraine

Lorraine’s character is a rabbit hybrid, and as an animal I believe she would still be a rabbit. She's sweet and cute, but that doesn't mean she's defenseless.

Renth

He's sly, but so bad at hiding it that he just gives off no good vibes. The man is most certainly a racoon. Plus, once you get past the fact that he's definitely going to skip his hands into your pockets and grab your wallet, he's actually kind of loveable; although in a "look what I picked up on the side of the road" kind of way.

Theodore

After much consideration, I settled on a cat for Theodore. He's smart, cunning, and a naturally talented actor; willing to do, or sacrifice, anything for his ultimate goals.

Leon

There was no doubt in my mind, as soon as I put his name down I knew what he would be. As an animal, Leon would be a golden retriever. He's rambunctious, sweet, and a little dumb sometimes, but he's loyal to a fault and would follow his brother anywhere.

Well, that's all, have a good day everyone! :D

An illustration I painted and turned into an animated gif. This was very tedious but I like how it turned out.
