Honestly, the reason for her having a magical animal is to study it. Lufu is not good at magic, she sucks at it, and the only thing she excels in is pythomancy hence why that's what she's studying. Besides, she's the type of person who would go out of her way to get something cool, so it's sticking to character. but mainly I want her to experience something that's out of her norm to give her exposure to life. Like, y'know, learning about raising things and taking responsibility for once. As someone said about French mythology, I was thinking maybe she befriends Bugul Noz which is something akin to a fairy. He is someone who suffers a lot and it would offer a lot of exposure for her. But if I do this, I want it to happen during the course of the RP, not right off the bat. Or, going with the dragon-theme, she could get a European dragon. However, whatever I choose will happen over the course of the RP and not right now, because I want to develop her character through attaining a mythological animal
