What is your favorite animal and why? Have you ever included it in one of your stories?
Do dragonflies count? They aren’t really animals, but if I have to pick my favorite non-human creature, dragonflies would be my choice.
I know there are people who are scared of them, but not me. I admire them. The way their mostly transparent wings flash in the sunlight, the variety of colors, the way they can effortlessly maneuver from spot to spot. I’ve been known to rescue one when it got trapped in a building. (That’s not easy!)
My favorite encounter with dragonflies was one warm summer day when an empty field near our home was filled with dragonflies. There were hundreds of them, darting from one blade of grass to another. They were only there for a short time, but I enjoyed the moment.
I’ve never really thought much about dragonflies, but it’s nice that you do!
I think they are my spirit animal.
Dragonflies are amazing creatures. How about Harmony acquiring a parrot for her apartment?
I haven’t figured out why Harmony doesn’t have any pets. I doubt she’d keep any kind of bird, though.
I can imagine how entrancing it would be standing there staring at a field of dragonflies. And yes, a dragonfy hero would be a great idea.
I’ve been playing with that in my head since I wrote the post. They only live about 2 months. How would that translate to a shifter. Age early?
