...TALK TO THE ANIMALS, WHICH WOULD YOUR CHARACTER BE?

When I named my insurance investigator extraordinaire protagonist "Luna Nightcrow," it wasn't just a random name, but fit her personality.

Luna humorously describes herself as "a smart bird who works her butt off and rarely gets a good night's sleep," in The Diamond Head Deception. A character in The K-Frost Caper notices that "[Luna's] smartphone never sleeps"; and Luna observes that "she's all yours, day or night, but only if the price is right" (explaining the Moon, or "Luna," reference).

According to The Myers-Briggs Personality Test ( https://www.psychologyjunkie.com/2019... ), people with "crow" personalities exhibit these traits:

Resourceful, independent, intelligent (among others).

These fit Luna to a T. So what animal would your character be?

Andreas has the unfortunate nickname "Rodent" assigned to him by young trainee Ari. Ari resents Andreas being given the coveted position of Leading Spy Master and it takes a long time before he can accept Andreas.

Andreas is a skinny geeky type who turns out to be far tougher than he looks. He embraces his nickname and turns it into a badge of pride. The Rodent nickname fits him in several ways - he lived among beggars on the streets for many years and he has no fear of small dark spaces. He is sly, cunning and resourceful. He uses his small size to his advantage and he has a knack of making important people feel uncomfortable in their own offices or residences.

Mandalee is a Cleric of Nature who shares a special bond with a leopard companion, Shyleen. They talk all the time (telepathically) and Shyleen is quite the philosophical leopard.

Something like a tiger or lion, a nice big pussy cat, friendly, of course.

I do already talk to my pet seagull. Steve Seagull visits for breakfast, lunch and supper and we chat. He sits on my balcony rail for hours on end just watching me go about my usual routine. Visitors are fascinated by our chats. I talk, he listens! But he sometimes wobbles his throat and opens his beak without any sound that I can hear. I count that as replying...
