If you were born blind or born without a limb than it would make sense to me that your daemon would have the same condition
Yeah, that makes sense. And I wonder if your daemon would settle into a form that reflects that to some degree. An animal with poor eyesight or a two limbed animal instead of a four limbed one. By which I mean how they walk, whether on two legs or four. Most creatures have at least four legs, unless they are fish.
Kind of like how a person feels a phantom limb, their daemon reflects all the parts they began with.
This also makes sense. I saw a theory on tumblr that suggested that people with same-sex daemons might be people who have gender dysphoria, so the daemon reflects the gender they feel themselves to be, rather than the one they were assigned. Which makes a lot of sense to me, too.
I love jamming about this stuff so it's less me being patient and just giving into my HUGE FANNISH GLEE.
