I've been thinking about how characters in novels, comics, and what not can always be compared to certain animals. So I decided to make this topic. What animal do you feel best represents you and what you stand for?
I definitely believe that if any animal would represent me, it would have to be a barn owl. Barn owls (or owls in general) usually represent wisdom and live mostly in darkness. In most cultures they also represent death. If you were to see an owl in the night, it was certain that you would lose a loved one in the time soon to come. I find it cool that barn owls are viewed as death omens despite having a somewhat angelic appearance, especially while in flight. They have really strong bonds with their loved ones as well. Like myself, owls are very keen to their surroundings. They pay attention to every move, every sound, and every thought that passes within its vicinity. Once the owl is certain of the next action, it moves accurately and precisely to complete its objective. Plus, owls have always been a part of my life. I've always had an owl near me, be it alive or on a key chain. I love barn owls in particular because of how different their thought process and little details that surround them, such as their posture that makes them look angry and ready to kill whatever is in its sights.
P.S. I love the Harry Potter franchise A SHIT TON because of all the owls that are in it
Have some barn owl pics and gifs:
