I went for an eagle because I wanted the wings to contrast with his hair...the white hair gave me the idea to use a Bald Eagle's coloring in particular (though yes, you probably would associate an eagle with Artus rather than Tendrick when we're talking about bird associations). Swans aren't peaceful though...they can be hella scary! I'm going to be creating Tumblr edits of the character's Daemons (based on either the animal totem quiz results from last year or Celtic animal signs...not that it matters for Rose because she has the same result either way...November 3 yields a Hound/Wolf Celtic zodiac and her totem result is Wolf followed by Tiger and Lion), and Tim's Daemon might be a swan named Eirwen...she's definitely
not docile (the other choice is a Snowy Owl...also not docile)! XD These are the names me and Minteh decided for the Daemons:
Artus: Éclair (French,
lightning) - Horse, perhaps a Paint or something...this is based on the Celtic equivalent of his most likely Moon Sign.
Kenna: Vidar (Norse,
tree fighter) - Polar Bear, the biggest among the gang's daemons!
Tim: Eirwen (Welsh,
white snow) - Either Snowy Owl or Swan...I cannot for the life of me decide! Swan is based on the Celtic equivalent of his most likely Moon Sign, Owl is based on his Totem quiz...whatever it is, it has to be white!
Val: Noxaura (Latin,
night wind) - Clouded Leopard or a big cat of sorts.
Rose: Sandor (Hungarian,
defender of man) - Wolf...yes, this one would be scarred, ugly or wounded (like his namesake, Sandor Clegane)!
Tendrick: Celeste (Italian,
heavenly) - Swan if Tim gets a Snowy Owl, because Swan really
is his Celtic animal sign (if he's an early Libra born in late September), but if Tim gets Swan, he'll get a Raven.
You're actually right about the drinks! :O Rose's coloring (blood-red hair, blue eyes) makes one think of the evening...and because this is a tropical/summer drink and Rose's winter drink is black and references death and bloodshed, it seems fitting that this one's name would reference a bad omen (because she's very dangerous after all), as well as her beauty! XD Divine Ambrosia really is Tendrick's...it's associated with the gods after all! Plus, in a way, it references his creature comforts...he isn't averse to finer-tasting stuff at all. XD
Hehe, Rose has been languishing in prison for 2 months though based on how I wrote her history...there
is a reason why she survived for so long (if some guards are as misogynistic
and deprived as I think they are), which would be revealed in the Havnaar storyline...though yes, she was transferred into their cell just as the others were put in (presumably because she crossed the line in some way and is now about to be executed for it)! XD Yeah, it's been nearly two years...but it's only a week in RP-time and we all know how slow Rose is to trust because of her bad experiences! Plus, Val might have a rival...in the form of a certain someone's brother!
