Applicant #564

Vote 9:
For this applicant, I suggest the Serval because it is a predatory land mammal. It is lithe, agile and powerful as she requested. The animal is nocturnal and the applicant prefers night. In my opinion, the Serval's markings are both cool and distinctive.

Vote 10:
I think the Jackson's Chameleon would be well-suited for this applicant. The very first thing the applicant mentioned was their ability to play a situation and fit in wherever needed, and I immediately began to think of an animal that could change itself or shift to its surroundings. The chameleon fits the bill in at least a couple of different ways. Firstly, as a cold-blooded reptile, fitting into its surroundings includes the ability to actually adapt its physical processes to the environment around it. Secondly, of course, is that chameleons change colors. The Jackson's Chameleon in particular has three horns on its head, which gives it both a unique look within the chameleon family and makes it appear distinctively like a predator, which the applicant finds very important. As the applicant also wants to live in a warm environment, the Jackson's Chameleon is perfect since it mostly makes its home in East Africa and Hawaii.

Vote 11:
Harris' Hawk

She considers herself shrewd and clever, which birds of prey generally are
She wanted to be able to call herself a hunter, which the Harris' Hawk is
She wanted warm weather, and the Harris' Hawk breeds from southwestern US to south Chile and central Argentina
Lastly, she considers herself social and Harris' Hawk is actually most suitable for her because their social structure is odd compared to other birds of prey. They will hunt in family groups as opposed to monogamous pairs.

Although I first was thinking some sort of tiger or leopard for you, I came across another animal that I thought was perfect: the Kangal Dog. This dog is described as being powerful and independent, as well as lithe and agile, which is what you said you wanted. The dog was was originally used as a livestock guardian dog, where it actually lived with the flock to actively fend off wolves, bears and jackals. I think this is good because you wanted a form that was a hunter and that could defend itself and its family. This dog is more than capable of doing that. You describe yourself as being social, but not wanting to be around a lot of people. The Kangral is bred to be good with people, but it is most loyal to its own family. It is sometimes aloof with strangers but always loving to those it knows. And finally, this dog is used to being on guard, so it’s not a typical dog that lies around and sleeps for hours, so it is more active, as you requested.
