This or That
This, that, or somewhere in between?
Aggressive or Passive: I am not an aggressive person in the sense that I don't go out actively looking for a fight; I prefer to remain undisturbed - you know, if you don't disturb me, I won't disturb you. But I am, in a way, pretty territorial - I like my private space, and I get very annoyed when, for example, people keep walking in and out of my room. As an animal I suppose this would translate to me getting aggressive if anyone threatened those I care about or the place I live in. Oh, and - don't get me mad.
Loud or Quiet: I keep my mouth shut, but once I speak up it's loud.
Flamboyant or Secretive: Both! I don't always want attention - sometimes I just want peace and quiet and time to myself, but hey, if you're going to make an appearance? I believe in going all out. If you're going to attract attention, you might as well go all the way.
Warm-blooded or Cold-blooded: Warm-blooded.
Flee or Fight: Fight, because I'd be fighting in defense of something.
Travel or Stay: If I travelled, it would be for short periods of time.
Hard-working or Lazy: I laze around a lot, but when I get into something, I put a lot of time and effort into it. More lazy, though.
Trickster or Benevolent: Benevolent. In general.
Changing or Consistent: Consistent.
Dangerous or Harmless: Dangerous, I think.
Traits
Do you live a solitary life or in a family group? It would not be entirely solitary, but it wouldn't be in a big group, either. I'd have a small group and a few other members to communicate with.
How well do you get along with humans? Pretty well. I can co-exist peacefully with them provided they don't threaten me, and if we could come to some sort of arrangement, so much the better. I will not react well if they threaten me or those I care about.
Would you prefer fur, scales, feathers, or a shell? Generally, feathers!
How would you protect yourself? I could attack from a height, for starters, so I'd use that to my maximum advantage. Beyond that, I'm not sure how... I think answering this question might skew responses a bit too much. But in general, any tactics I used would involve the ability to fly - so it could be anything that involved me attacking from above, even something like dropping rocks on people.
What physical ability makes you unique? Remarkably un-unique in mythological creatures, I think, but hey, I'd like to fly.
