# Daemon Decider

> *"What's your daemon?"*

A single-page quiz inspired by **His Dark Materials** by Philip Pullman that reveals the form of your daemon — the living companion of your soul.

## About

In Pullman's world, every person has a daemon: a physical manifestation of their inner self that appears as an animal. The form a daemon takes is deeply significant — it reflects everything the person is inside, and the bond between a person and their daemon is absolute and inseparable.

This quiz asks **14 questions** designed to tease out archetypes that map onto **14 possible daemon forms**:

| Daemon | Archetype |
|--------|-----------|
| 🦁 Lion | Strength, leadership, untamed spirit |
| 🦅 Eagle | Vision, freedom, rare perspective |
| 🐆 Black Panther | Quiet power, mystery, stealth |
| 🦉 Owl | Ancient wisdom, patience, observation |
| 🐺 Wolf | Fierce loyalty, wilderness, pack bonds |
| 🦊 Fox | Cleverness, adaptability, survival |
| 🦡 Badger | Resilience, independence, determination |
| 🐍 Snake | Transformation, change, evolution |
| 🐱 Cat | Gentle heart, empathy, quiet fortitude |
| 🐬 Dolphin | Intelligence, joy, emotional connection |
| 🕷️ Spider | Methodical patience, invisible connections |
| 🐯 Tiger | Hidden fire, beauty edged with danger |
| 🦌 Stag | Quiet nobility, gentle leadership |
| 🐻 Bear | Raw earth-power, endurance, depth |

## Design

The aesthetic is inspired by the northern atmosphere of *Northern Lights* — dark backgrounds, aurora borealis-like animations, and gold accents drawn from the alethiometer's needle and dials. Uses Cinzel Decorative + Cinzel + Cormorant Garamond from Google Fonts for typography, with a hand-drawn alethiometer SVG as the hero icon.
