For #554, I picked the Arctic Hare. First of all, it's furry, like the applicant wanted, and while white, it could easily have the markings of her glasses. Also, I knew I had to go with something polar/arctic because of the applicants love of snow. Like the applicant, the Arctic Hare if is very, very shy and spends most of its time by itself, though it does like seeking out one or two other hares to mate with, which is like the applicant's needing to be around people at one point or another. The applicant wanted to be agile and move about easily, which the hare can easily do, being a rabbit.
Applicant #554: For this applicant, I chose the Arctic Hare. I initially found myself thinking of this choice due to the applicant's noted affinity for rabbits - so hares, as related animals, seemed like they would be a possible option. I went right to the Arctic Hare because the applicant was very specific that snow is a necessity and arctic hares live in the northern regions of North America (some in areas that are wintry year-round). The applicant expressed a preference for an earth environment and this animal is one that definitely stays close to the ground. The applicant also mentioned agility as being desired and the arctic hare is able to quickly move through the snow and underbrush that exists in its environment. This animal choice also fits with the applicant;s personality (self-described as more of a loner) as the arctic hare is often a loner, doing most of its feeding and foraging by itself with occasional social interactions.
I think you might like the colocolo. These fluffy guys range through the Andes mountains, giving you that snowy environment you like (of the two subspecies, one is found between 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), and 4,100 metres (13,500 ft). They're elusive animals, and not much is known bout them, but they are presumably crepuscular animals, as there are two groups: one that thinks they're nocturnal, one that thinks they're diurnal. They seem solitary animals, though their ranges overlap so they have passing contact with each other, suiting your need to have contact with human beings every day, even though you're solitary. THey're obviously quite furry, with distinctive, individualized markings, agile as they prey on birds and small mammals, and diggers since their prey often burrows, all of which are things you've mentioned as things you'd like.
I think you might be happy as a Iriomote cat, a subspecies of leopard cat. The whole species little cats (about the size of a domestic cat) have a huge geographical range, including their preferred wetland, streams, and small hills, which suit your "warm and rainy" preferences. The particular subspecies I picked for you lives in Iriomote, Japan, as it's name suggests. They are land animals, being cats, but also hide in trees and can swim, leading to the assumption that they're very agile creatures, something you noted as important. THey tend to be solitary animals, only intermingling with their own species during mating season, but I see that as choosing to be around people sometimes. :D Their activity changes with the seasons, making them more nocternal in summer than in winter, but they're very likely to see the sunset (more likely than the sunrise!).
Applicant #553: I think you would be a perfect Capybara. After reading your application I really wanted to find a rain forest mammal for you and I think this one is a great match. You would get the climate you seek because it lives in the warm and wet rain forest. You did mention your animagus having fur, which the Capybara has. They do spend some time in the water, but you mentioned liking water as well. They have webbed feet and are known to be excellent swimmers so you would be agile in the water and on land.
hi! my suggestion was not offered to you, but I thought you might be interested anyway. :)
Application #551
Perhaps you would be interested in the Maylasian Plover? This little bird lives on tropical beaches in southeast Asia, suiting your preference for the heat. They're resiliant little birds, making due with what they can, especially in the face of the habitat loss the species is facing. They're more solitary birds, as you have indicated is your preference, and small, fluffy birds, like yourself.
I decided to go with the Black-footed Albatross for this applicant. • Habitat: When the applicant stressed their resilience and ability to survive, I immediately thought of extreme climates. The Black-footed Albatross nests in a variety of costal/island locations, but the one that caught my eye was Hawaii. I thought this would satisfy the hot sticky weather desired by the applicant. • Behavior: The applicant spoke of their love of air and water and the freedom associated with swimming and flying. The Black-footed Albatross (actually, any albatross in general) provides the best of both worlds: not only are albatrosses excellent fliers (they soar and glide which is a pretty exact equivalent of the "woosh" feeling the applicant talks about), they are also efficient divers when feeding, and I'd imagine that diving from a height provides the same kind of "woosh" when entering the water. Also, their flight is quite graceful, a quality the applicant requested. • Personality: One thing the applicant mentioned multiple times was
