Meeting your Daemon

[SNL_Ali]

I think he is--I spotted a thread he made about daemons and how quickly it was rudely locked.

for example I was looking up names for my Daemon, who i've determined is a wolf , (i found that researching Totems (what i consider to just another cultures version of a daemon) really helped there) I came across a fairly simple yet elegent name... Tala, it's a female indian name meaning "wolf" (very simple), but it seems that my Daemon doesn't like the name, I keep telling her to help me come up with something better, and i think she's still deciding whether to actually think about it or learn to like it because it almost feels like recently she's been responding when i think the name Tala, but it could all be imagined... I've always talked to myself in my head, so it's hard to figure out what's me and what's her

Tala! The name Tala and I have a lot of history. ::reminisces:: It still holds a lot of meaning for me. It is a beautiful name.

I still can't tell whether I'm the one talking or if it's my Daemon, because I can't really tell our voices apart very well... sometimes I just kind of accept the fact that I couldn't have made up the response :-D...

I was the same way at first. ^^; It'll be easier to distinguish your voices after talking a bit more.

Yeah I'm on both BTTS and HDM.org, and yes I've got the fan-movie posts (if anyone here is interested feel free to let me know, I still need a lot more people :-D) ok shameless promotion of my project over in 3... 2... 1....

Hmmm well I think we'll work on figuring out who's voice is wno's... it seems to be a fairly slow process .

Cat, what is your history with the name Tala (if I may be so nosey)

No problem. ^^; Might be long, though.

Ookay. About two years ago one of my friends made a wolf roleplay site and asked me to join, which I did. I made up the name Tala off the top of my head and RPed as her on that particular site for a few months or so, until it died, as all RPs eventually do. It was a good RP, though ... Anyw00t. I used Tala in wolf RPs once or twice after that. And one day, another of my friends said to me, "Hey, did you know Tala is a Native American name meaning 'wolf'?" which of course surprised me. But I thought it was awesome.

When I started writing a novel, I of course had to include Tala as a main character, and it was some time while I was writing I started to realize, Tala's a lot like me. Or some of my traits anyway. Stubborn, proud, not afraid to snap at people to get her point across ... y' know. And about five months ago I realized I was a wolf "Otherkin". I started researching Otherkin, therianthropes, even werewolves, and one site referred to having a "werewolf name". I thought that was a load of crap until I realized, every time I dream about being a wolf, I totally forget my name "Cat", and it was only when I thought hard about it that I realized in my wolf dreams I refer to myself as "Tala".

Rawr. So yeah. In a way, Tala became me ... or was me the whole time, I'm still not sure. ^^; So it startled me to see the name on your post - I actually respond to the name Tala now. One of my friends calls me that at school. XD

Hooray for off-topic-ness. =3
