Something slender or graceful or beautiful or amusing. Mongoose, elk, Somali
cat, snow leopard, osprey.

Yeah, I think I'd probably be a badger. Not exactly unattractive but nothing
you'd cuddle without permission, not necessarily dangerous but able to take
care of business, and somehow it seems practical. Short. A tad stout.
Whoops, did I forget that "stubborn" thing? Or tangling with stuff out of
its league? Perhaps I've been arguing with the local school again too
much....

> What would you be afraid you MIGHT become?

Something hideous or truly ugly, something nobody wants to have near it or
even remember exists. Dangerous spider. Dangerous snake. Scorpion. June bug
(long story, phobia, don't ask). Anything else I'm afraid of and still have
to deal with a lot.
