Here's mine:

I definitely wanted to go with a bird for this applicant - specifically, when they said that flying would be "fun and freeing," I realized that an avian animal would be the best fit (also, one of their desired traits was the ability to be fast and fly). I went with the Eastern Whip-poor-will:
• Nocturnal - as the applicant said they were most comfortable at night/in the dark.
• Known for something special - the cry of the whip-poor-will not only inspired its name, but is the species' defining characteristic and is legendary.
• Habitat - native to northern climates, which are cooler and prone to the kinds of weather the applicant prefers. Also, they are birds of flight but they sleep on the ground - the applicant said they preferred land or air and this bird gives them both options!
• Badass - birds of prey are inherently badass, and whip-poor-wills can HOVER. LIKE HUMMINGBIRDS ONLY KIND OF TERRIFYING. What is more badass than that?

Mine wasn't picked up here you are!

Applicant #535: For you I've gone with the Western Screech Owl.
1. You said that you wanted to be a bird and to be able to fly.
2. You said that you are a night person, and owls are nocturnal animals.
3. You said that you wanted to make an interesting sounds. Screech owls don't screech but they have a distinctive sound that can be heard a lot at night.
4. You said that you prefer to be alone, and owls are alone unless they are mating or nesting.
