**If I were an animal, I would be:** A wolf (if the vast amount of wolf-based characters I've played in the past are any indication). In reality, probably something reasonably laid-back, like a capybara.

**If I were an animal, I would be:** A raccoon. We have the same cute goth eye makeup. My friends agreed with this, citing that I am 'mischevious', 'clever' and 'a little bit rabid'. I read online that 'they can also make for annoying neighbours', which is very me.

**If I were an animal, I would be:** Supposedly, a howler monkey, because they're **LOUD** [lies >:(].
