I can't remember what website I used but it said my daemon would be a raccoon.
'RACCOON - your daemon may be a raccoon. You are a trickster. Your daemon's nimble hand-like paws can help in the creation of pranks. You may prefer the cover of darkness to pull off your stunts. You may be fascinated by gadgets, and are probably good at figuring out how things work. Independent and fun loving, you love to get the best of someone. You have no pretensions about yourself. Crafty and clever, you can adapt to any situation and find a way to make it work in your favor.'
Initially I was surprised my daemon might be a raccoon, but as I think more about this it seems fitting. I certainly enjoy a good trick - after a few drinks at the bar I have a tendency to snatch friends drinks and chug them before they notice. If I can place the empty cup down in front of them without noticing it makes it all the better. Don't worry I never execute this on strangers, strictly good friends, and I always offer to buy them another drink, but they seldom let me and instead usually get a round of shots, and then I get even drunker err more drunk. In a way this trick, if sparked by my daemon is also somewhat of a trick on me. I have also always felt I get along well with everybody and manage to fit in in most situations.
With a quick wiki search I learned that raccoons are fairly intelligent animals with extremely sensitive front paws that have five fingers. The raccoon is common in folk tales and in other stories as the trickster who outsmarts other animals like the coyote and wolf. Among native american cultures the raccoon is believed to have spiritual powers which are linked to and stem from its black mask across its eyes. The Aztecs especially thought female raccoons - which my daemon would be - had supernatural abilities.
I'm not sure exactly what I would name my daemon. Some possibilities for her might include : Willa, Tricksy, or how about Coonthia.
No matter what her name, the idea of a little coon running along side my bike or sliding next to my skis is great. I would thoroughly enjoy having a partner in tricks, oh wait, perhaps I do....
