According to the game's calculations, Quarrel was Born 8 Berryripe, Year of the Phoenix, 98. I've been debating very hard over if I'll change it to 4 Moonbite, Year of the Wolf, 97... It's what I had in mind originally for them, but phoenix lore won't come around til the game is online. I just know something is gonna be revealed that'll make me regret it just a little bit, but there's also so much fun with the birthday I had planned. I always saw them born in winter during Moonbite, and Rebirth just seemed perfect.
Either way, they're a year or two older than I intended, but that doesn't really mess with anything. Quarrel has never known their birthday, and has been somewhat afraid to ask the only being who would be able to tell them. A whole week dedicated to celebrate their existance? To them, that's just a reminder that no one else did. They really like knowing their friend's birthdays though, and try to put effort into remembering and doing something for them. Even if it comes off as halfhearted because they're not really sure what they should do, just that the critter needs to know someone cares about them. I think they gave someone a pebble once, and then passed it off as a joke because they didn't want the critter to pry into their complicated feelings?
The zodiac itself will probably feel too much like a box for them... on the surface. They'll spend a lot of time trying to figure out what they are based on the loose expectations, while also trying to hide their interest and insisting it doesn't matter. Besides the obvious of them using a wolf as a symbol for a long time now, they're extremely loyal, silvanic persistent, and cunning. Wolves have always had this curious contradiction in myths of being both guardians and creatures of chaos, a community and an individual. They're also fequently associated with the moon across cultures, transformation, and knowledge. It just seemed like it was wrapped up in a neat package.
Yeahhhh I'll change it, I've sufficiently convinced myself. It would've been funny to see the Harris interactions from them sharing a beast though lol
