Who loves penguins?

I was trying to write for a story and needed a nickname and the character reminded me of a fox so I’m like, ‘I’ll just call him Fox.’
But I went to check on a sight and I found this awesome one called ‘The Animal in You’.
Anyway I ended up taking the quiz for myself (it called me a shrew!)
I took the quiz for my other character, just because, and she got some bird that didn’t fit her personality at all, I think it was peacock, but I don’t remember. I eventually decided she was a rabbit.

Anyway, to the point:

PENGUIN:

Now you see it, now you don't. Aggressive yet gentle, outgoing but shy, stable yet flighty - everyone sees the penguin in a different way. It's that black and white thing: the penguin only reveals the side that it wants to you to see. So whether you like this darling-devil or not, you have to concede that it's a fascinating and enigmatic individual.

Penguins are birds condemned to live out their days on the ground. Unable to fly, their excess energy has no outlet save their creative talents and emotional outbursts. Penguins are poetic, artistic, and intellectually gifted, and as writers penguins have no equal.

But, if unable to channel their impulses in a positive way, the resulting turmoil proves damaging to their relationships and careers.

Penguins are deceptively intelligent and are particularly animated when intellectually challenged. They excel at word games and puzzles but are modest about their abilities and are generally underestimated by others.

With their misunderstood personality, penguins find writing an ideal tool for expressing their true feelings. They have a natural aptitude for languages and penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors, and journalists.

With a natural aptitude for languages, penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors and journalists. A strong sense of drama draws them to the theater and cinema, although unlike typical bird personalities they avoid the spotlight unless they're able to hide behind the characters they play. Once on stage however, they prove to be excellent performers with their multifaceted personalities conveying the full gamut of emotions.

However, a lack of confidence affects their work. Penguins tend to give up on tasks they were otherwise capable of and are often disappointed with their performance. Still, work never dominates their life and they always put their family first.


I don’t think any of you know me well enough for this to mean anything, but quite honestly that described me almost perfectly.

I was reading through it and the farther I got the more I thought, “Holy shit!”

I’d explain, but I has gots to go.
