Animals that move fast, alone
Hare
Your long ears catch the faintest sound, and if something's wrong, you're the first to bolt.
Hares — the wild cousins of rabbits — don't form groups; they live alone and use their long ears to pick out distant sounds. When they sense danger they spring away, and when chased they zigzag to escape.
You like to move at your own pace, and you're quick to notice changes around you. Even if something in your room has moved just a little, you can tell right away. When something seems wrong, your body moves before you can hesitate, and how you feel shows clearly in how you act.
In spring, European hares stand on their hind legs and bat at each other with their front paws. This is thought to be mostly a female fending off an over-eager male. You, too, make it clear on the spot when you don't like something, so the people around you don't have to guess how to deal with you.
Strengths
- You notice small changes or anything off before anyone else
- When something seems risky, you can leave without hesitating
- You know clearly what you like and don't, so you choose quickly
Where you may stumble
- Sudden noises or last-minute changes of plan can put you more on edge than they need to
- Your feelings show easily in your manner, so even small complaints come across
- Being quick to get away, you may also walk away from things that a talk could have settled
Sounds familiar, Hare?
- When someone speaks to you suddenly from behind, you jump
- When you have a bad feeling, you've said “Let's not” before explaining why
- When you don't like a suggestion, you're shaking your head before you say anything
Where you shine
When something feels different from usual, or a quick call is needed. You pick up the small sense that something's off and get out of the way early.
Tips for “Hare”
- When something startles you, take a breath before checking what actually happened
- When a complaint is about to show in your manner, put it into words first
- Before you leave, look for one reason it'd be OK to come back
