[quote name="Reilata" date="2020-09-28 13:37:05" ] I pretty much assumed it was because of Anubis and the scales as well. [/quote] This was my first thought too. [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/El_pesado_del_coraz%C3%B3n_en_el_Papiro_de_Hunefer.jpg[/img] One of Anubis’ roles was weighing hearts. Which was famously depicted in the book of the dead. Figured this was the inspiration toward the wolf idea since Anubis is supposedly based off of the African golden wolf (formally was identified as the African golden [i]jackal[/i]). Of course it could also be a wolf just because... wolf [emoji=spiral tongue size=1]

Here I thought it was a ref to the whole "There are two wolves inside of you..." metaphor

For everyone who kept saying scales I just want to say I forgot you guys were talking about scales (balances) and not fishscales like these [item=reflective fish scales] and I kept imagining a familiar that was just fish scales

I kinda like that they're being imaginative and flexible with the astrology theme. I get wary of astrology if it's taken too seriously, so I like that they are using it more as a guideline.

@RaynixAura Lol! I'm not sure how to get that image out of my head now!

...you guys do realize that libra's zodiac animal IS a dog, right?

Yeah, I kinda figured it was a reference to Anubis and his scales as well. Didn't realize how many people would be confused by it.

I really thought it was for Anubis too, but I forgot he's a jackal lol
