I took the Dresden Files quiz and discovered that I’m a Knight of the Cross (see below). In the Dresdenverse, that means that I’m one of the men and women chosen to bear one of the three holy swords–Amoracchius (Love), Fidelacchius (Faith), and Esperacchius (Hope)–and to do battle with the dark forces that stalk the earth. Taste my letter opener, evil doers!

I am Michael Carpenter. I am one of those honored by God to serve His Will as a Knight of the Cross. My faith is strong, unshakeable — and deadly to the truly evil. It’s my job to seek them out, to get them to change if I can, and to stop them if I must. And I am not alone in this. Never alone. God watches over me and sees that I am sent where I am most needed. I carry the holy sword Amoracchius at my side — that nail you see in the hilt came from the Cross. The other Knights stand by me. My wife and children are just as fierce as I am — God help you should you try to find out if it’s otherwise. And there are others. Together we all stand, shoulder to shoulder, against the darkness. Our faith has been tried, tested, and proven resolute. No matter the cost, no matter how bloodied you might make us, we will not bow, and we cannot fail. God’s Will be done — on Earth, by our hands.

Well, one daemon to be precise. My colleague, Peg, pointed me in the direction of the Golden Compass movie site which has a quiz on it that you can take to see what sort of animal spirit (daemon) you would be matched with. Click on the “Meet Your Daemon” icon at the bottom of the page or choose “Daemons” from the menu at the top.

Mine, as you can see, is a mouse (Alexius) and according to the quiz, I am spontaneous, modest, humble, assertive, and competitive. I’m not sure how well assertive and competitive go with modest and humble, but, hey, the oracle has spoken.

Having a Mouse Daemon goes a long way to explain why I work underground, in a labyrinth, and am surrounded by bits of paper that I’d like to shred. Now, if you’ll pardon me, I have to go get a drink by pressing on the spigot of the communal water bottle …..

I took the Jane Austen heroine quiz and discovered that I am:

You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of silliness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.
