Hard to pin down

In the film The Golden Compass, everyone's soul was externally manifested as some sort of animal.
The animal reflected and represented the personality and temperament of each individual.
From the animal, a person's true nature could be discerned.
By teenage years, the animal had settled and become fixed: a dog, a cat, a crow etc.

It can be quite fun to try to figure out which animal suits which person, and is usually easy to do.

In my husband's case I've never been able to find a suitable animal that fits.
Ultimately, I've concluded that he is best understood in terms of the 5 kung fu animals: bear, bird, monkey, snake and tiger.
