[Daemon AU] Dejah's daemon Iudaan

Dejah's daemon is a Barsoomian feline called a sorak. His name is Iudaan (you-DAHN) and he's very much like a serval cat, only he has eight legs and blue blood. Soraks are highly intelligent problem solvers with a penchant for getting into mischief. They're also incredibly affectionate, fiercely loyal to those they call their own, and savage hunters of no small skill.

Iudaan, in particular, might actually be the reason behind the phrase, "curiosity killed the cat." He is curious about everything, and has been known to get himself in compromising positions because 'something looked fun'. Even when he's sleeping, one ear is cocked, gathering tidbits of information. That said, he loves to go swimming, he loves an unspoiled sunbeam, and he is often found sleeping under Dejah's feet. And when Dejah is meeting people she doesn't particularly like, he is not at all shy about baring his teeth and hissing. (Ask Sab Than about his eye patch, go on, I dare you.)

Dejah usually doesn't mind having a soul that's outside her body. She knows that being open and welcoming is better than the alternative, but she's cautious as well. Not everyone feels the same
