okay. i know okibi's done this, as i've read it on her site, but... has anyone else ever thought that in lyra's world, there's a role reversal - daemon to human and human to daemon - and then figured out what that role reversal is? i know i have. a while back, i had something happen that was odd - it was like i had two daemons. in addition to 'lel being there, there was a cat - a sort of grey and black tabby. i didn't know who she was. (it was, indeed, a she.) i asked her, but she only told me her name - melukai. after a few weeks, she just... wasn't there. it was odd. i asked falel about it, if she'd talked to him, but hei didn't know either. so, i decided to look around the daemon page, just in case i found anything that might help me. i discovered okibi's theory - the daemon/human reversal in lyra's world - and wondered if that was it. i asked falel if he'd name me as a daemon in that world. hei said 'melukai'. so, is it that i saw myself as a daemon and just didn't know? or something else? anyone have theories?

ooo! That happened to me. There was a dragon named Salix that was just... there one day. She talked to me and then, a few weeks later, disappeared. Recently she came back to help me work out my daemon's name... Anyway, first I thought Rano had split himself into male and female, but I asked Okibi and she said that Salix was me as a daemon. It makes sense.

Well, I'd say you saw yourself as a dæmon. =) I know that my "other half" is a green-eyed black fox named Roanoke... But interestingly, the black fox is not so much ME as it is ROOKIE. Why is Rookie a black coyote? To reflect my personality. And why am I a black fox? To reflect who HE is.... as a human anyway. It's neat to know, but I'm not sure it's possible to "reach out" to the other dimensions, so I try not to push it. I'm simply content with being aware of my dæmon-self. She's beautiful... as Rookie is beautiful.
Rookie's human form is a brown-haired boy named Tobias. I feel that I know a bit about his personality... but I do wish I knew more....

Quick question: Thinking about my dæmon-self, I was suddenly hit with a bolt of inspiration. Maybe I will make a section about the reversed roles in Oxford. Do you guys think it's worth it?

I've never seen my dæmon-self. I want to, though. Any one have some ideas? I can't just make her appear. Should I wait or something? Wait, do I even want to know my dæmon-self?

I’ll answer all those questions with my section about this, once it’s up. >_> In the meantime, you could try imagining Rome’s “female persona.” When Rookie does this, he looks more like a fox than a coyote... Maybe something similar will happen with Rome.

Okay, here's a sneak peek of the reversed roles section.. I haven't scanned it for spelling errors, and neither am I done with the last portion of it. But... this may help some of you anyway: daemons.envy.nu/reversed-roles.html

OO! Yay! i'm in it! I feel special now I am quite positive Rano will/has settled as a furry mammal, yet Salix is a dragon. They don't seem very similar. I guess the forms don't really have to be similar all the time...do they?
