I feel like Herne the Hunted

From Liz Williams' SFFNet newsgroup:



Your HARE DAEMON represents your passive,
kindhearted, and honorable nature. Though you
are occasionally shy with new people, friends
admire your unshakable tranquility, even in the
face of chaos.

'nother wolf, here.

I don't offhand remember a wolf in the Pullmans, but the bunny from Texas was awesome.

An awesome Texas bunny? Gosh.

All I can think of is Herne the Hunted from the Discworld books. God of all that are destined to end life as a damp squeak.

Well, the bunny was the daemon of one of the most unbelievable Texans in literature. I hate it when British writers try to do American dialect. Despite the bad accent, the Texan was a decent character and his daemon (whose name I have forgotten) was courageous and noble.

The daemon idea was kind of cool: Each person's soul is a separate and visible entity which is invisibly but immutably bound to its person. It has a limited ability to act on its own. People who have lost their daemons sicken and die.

The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife are well worth reading. The last book in the trilogy, The Amber Spyglass is ...disappointing. IMHO.
