Send “In Another Life” and I’ll tell you a fact about an AU version of my character.

In the His Dark Materials (Golden Compass) AU, Hakuba’s daemon is a female cheetah named Marie. She’s gorgeous, polite, and very shy, opting for silence in almost any situation.

Also, despite the Ministry’s work with daemon collars (this takes place long after the book series, so there are other crazy experiments afoot), Marie has a certain fondness for fancy collars, which Hakuba spoils her with often. Her favorites are the very broad kind that one might typically see on a sighthound.
