My name is Tifu, and my daemon's name is Scyrus. Hes simply a black wolf :)

Hi, my name is Madeline and my daemon is a Bengal Cat! Whats yours? ( but for real, I've been obsessed with this concept and book series for years and I'm so glad that I finally took a quiz that was so accurate!)

Day 2: What have you learned about yourself since discovering your Daemon/form/etc?

Since discovering Scyrus, I've become a lot more level-headed and calm toward situations.

Handling things is much easier when I have someone to voice the thoughts that I ignore; I make a lot of irrational, impulsive decisions, so having someone like Scyrus really does help me steer away from that.

I always used to be ashamed being guided by people, I just wanted to stay the lone wolf who could handle things themselves.

I don't know, its just good to feel like I'm not too alone in my decision making anymore!

More Dæmon Questions

In HDM, the focus tends to be on the positive relationships between people and dæmons, but there must presumably be people who have bad relationships with them as well. People with dæmons who belittle them, ignore them, point out the worst in every scenario. Could that be how many mental health problems manifest in Lyra’s world? 

On a similar note, would hurting your own dæmon be a form of self harm? How common is it in relation to other kinds?

If a person with a dæmon had a dissociative identity disorder, would their dæmon change to reflect their different personalities? Or would the dæmon simply display different personality traits and names?

Do the dæmons of people with young mental ages ever settle? 

What is the youngest age at which a dæmon has settled?

Who names dæmons? I would imagine there must be a pool of names which are used specifically for dæmons, never for people. But who chooses them? Is it the parents? Or is it the parents’ daemons?

What is the largest form a dæmon has ever taken? In the books, they never seem to take inconveniently large forms, but is it possible for a dæmon to settle as, say, a shire horse or a killer whale?    

Do the personality traits associated with dæmon forms vary by culture? For instance, some parts of the world view dogs as loyal and friendly, but others see them as dirty and dangerous creatures. Is it possible that two incredibly different people could have the same kind of daemon, because the form represents different things in each culture?

Are there laws against touching other people’s dæmons without permission? Is it treated in a similar fashion to sexual assault?

Which dæmon forms are the most discriminated against? What unfair stereotypes do different forms carry? 

How true to the animal are dæmon forms when it comes to biology? Do snake dæmons see in infrared? Do bird dæmons have magnetoreception? Can the humans share in these sensations to some extent, and does this make them better suited to certain jobs? Imagine police officers with dog dæmons that can follow scent trails.

Day 1: What is your current form and why?

Scyrus’s current form is a wolf. That’s at least his main form. His form is very fluid, so he doesn’t stick to one for too long. He’s been seen as a ferret, mouse, raven, buck, cat, cougar.. It depends on his/my mood, or how much I can nag him to change his form lol.

He feels most comfortable as a wolf, unless there’s a reason for him to be a smaller animal. We’ve been playing around with forms more often, trying to maybe find another one that he’s comfortable with. He somewhat attached to a deer form now, one of my favorite animals. It’s a very calming, comforting form for both of us.
