You are a Tigress

Motto:

“Conformity is the death of individualism.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Personality:

An individual, a maverick, you march to the beat of no one's drum. People find you courageous, strong, and authoritative and you are not easily influenced by the opinions of others. Your impulsive nature makes you unpredictable and a daring force. Your powerful personality causes you to stand out in a crowd. Heck, the tiger is so important and cool in Chinese culture that their made you one of its 12 zodiac animals.

You, as an awesome factoid:

The tiger represents the constellation Orion in Chinese legend. HELLO? ORION? Appropriate much?!

You, but Famous:

Katherine Hepburn, but not dead (and if you don't know who this is, think Cate Blanchett's character in The Aviator); Angelina Jolie; Veronica Mars; Thelma or Louise; pretty much any character Cristina Ricci or Maggie Gyllenhaal plays; Mila Kunis in anything but That 70s Show.

You, but Grown Up:

Actor, writer, pilot, artist

You, but a Color:

Hot shocking pink!

You, but a Song:

"I Did it My Way" by Frank Sinatra, "I Don't Want to Be" by Gavin DeGraw, "Miss Independent" by Kelly Clarkson

You, but a Department Store:

H&M

You, as a Number:

1 – your individuality shines brightest as a singleton

You, but a Movie Quote:

"We all come into this world with our little egos equipped with individual horns. If we don't blow them, who else will?" – All About Eve

You, but a City:

New York City

You, but a Board Game:

Uno

You, but a Sport:

Running. It's just you and the road.

You, but a Book Quote:

"Independence is the only gauge of human virtue and value. What a man is and makes of himself; not what he has or hasn't done for others. There is no substitute for personal dignity." – The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

You, but a Class Subject:

Art

You, but on a Desert Island:

Happily content

You, as a Partner in Crime:

Your individuality puts you in a somewhat precarious situation. Even though you're obviously OK with flying solo, even the most independent of independents need some bonding once in awhile. So when picking your partners in crime, you're quite selective… a quality of quantity kind of cat. And when you're in a relationship, you are devoted as a tiger to her cubs.

Because real tigers are predatory in nature, you might not mesh so well with the more timid of creatures. Deer are easy prey for you and you most likely won't like their passive nature. They most likely won't like the fact that you could eat them alive. Your time with other tigresses may be minimal given your Born Free, individual nature, but when you're together, you can certain expect an adventure. No jungle can have two kings and as such, you're probably not going to be chatting up any horses anytime soon. Two such strong personalities are likely to butt heads. The ravens' intellect intrigues you and you enjoy the stimulating company, although you don't necessarily like to be hemmed in by the boundaries of traditional logic. You do have fun cavorting with the free-spirited dolphins, from time to time, as it is always good to for a tigress to change her stripes....
