Interesting choice of animals. It does make sense cause both TJ and Ian are from the same background. Can you guess why a stag was chosen for Jo?
It's a red stag in precise. You could've have seen its glimpse of connection to him when he paid a visit to his family. This is my take based on his characteristics so far. Remember that I can be wrong so if there's any correction let me know okay.
Strength and Power: They are built to endure and defend themselves. Powerful yet gentle. Note: Doyak, many times created a hype about him being physically stronger in the story.
Spiritual Enlightenment: Because of its awareness and introspection. They are seen as intelligent, wise beings that can provide a person with the opportunity to see things from an uninhibited perspective. Have deep connection to nature as well as maturity, intuition and instinctual wisdom.
Courage and Endurance: Ready to fight with any challenger. Their willingness to battle until death or victory is achieved. Prioritize sustenance, ensuring are always prepared to face life's demands.
Grace: One of the things that sets the stag apart from other alpha animals, is that the stag embodies grace. Non-aggressive unless provoked. Normally peaceful but will not back down if confronted. He reminds you to stand your ground if needed.
Maturity and Experience: Making mistakes, owning up to them, facing fears, and taking risks are all stag's qualities.
Regeneration: Because they shed and then re-grow antlers, which get bigger and stronger each year demonstrates that no matter how broken you feel, there is always the power to heal, evolve, and transform your life. With effort they can progress.
Nobility and Leadership: The stag’s majestic antlers are his crown. His spirit reminds you to be proud of who you are, where you come from, and what you stand for. Willing to go to battle for his herd and will be the first to engage against any threats in this case for Joseph it will be his family.
Virility: Have a strong sex drive. I noticed that Youngwoo unable to keep up with Joseph's strength and energy.
Interesting facts. Now it makes me to read the story again. I love your pov about this. Thank you
These are the animals Doyak associated with the characters:
Youngwoo: Fox, Joseph: Stag, Taejoon: Lion
I'm still hung up on this one. The only herbivore is Joseph while Taejoon and Youngwoo are carnivorous showing a huge difference between them.
