Wolverine is a beast that no hunter gets involved with of his own free will. Wolverine, like no one else, guards his land, jealously watches over all strangers who pass through his territory, and does not tolerate those who try to settle on his lands, hunt, dig burrows, breed cubs.
Those born in the Wolverine period are more zealous than other people to put the interests of the tribe above their personal interests.
Wolverine is not a grouse, he does not like to be in sight, he avoids open places, he is critical of himself, he is not mistaken about his mind or his appearance, which is why Wolverine has more loyal and devoted friends than his brighter and more sonorous narcissistic brothers in the Forest.
Wolverines have neat burrows, Wolverines themselves boast of clean fur and strong claws. Wolverine is a rare beast that does not have those who hate him, because he is respected even by enemies and opponents, knowing Wolverine's code of honor, they know in advance what to expect from Wolverine, and are not afraid to turn their backs on Wolverine.
The raven is a wise bird, but wise not by learning, but by its essence, initially wise and understanding. They say sarcastically about the Raven people that they don't need a brain, a spinal cord is enough, but the joke of the gods is that in fact the Raven simply understands what a sage needs years of painful reflection for.
The raven immediately correctly answers the question that many sorcerers would have to work on. He feels better than he understands, and, skipping logical chains, he immediately gives the right answer, but he cannot explain how he came to it. Crows rarely reach heights in management and leadership. Precisely because they see very far away, and the people will not go far, they have to move one step – to break the primordial and primordial things, to part with traditions, the precepts of the same illiterate fathers and grandfathers, to betray the Fatherland...
If occasionally the Raven flies up, it is simply because he does not speak of everything that his keen eye sees, otherwise he will be beaten and driven out like a madman.
Usually, Crows are unhurried and calm, because true wisdom does not tolerate fuss. They see everything in advance, and if they need to peck at an apple, they do not rush after the one rolling along the road, but immediately fly to the place where it stops.
An ermine is a beast that feels great power in itself. He is so full of it that it spills out of his ears. He does not sit still for an hour, always on the move, and if someone finds him motionless and falling apart, he will be deeply mistaken, believing that he has finally seen the Ermine in retirement: he is feverishly inventing either a hundred sophisticated tricks at once, or how to penetrate into the neighboring forest and steal from other Ermines, or in the plans he has already strangled all the nasty squirrels in his forest and in the neighboring ones.
The ermine is so confident in himself and his rightness that he does not care about norms, rules, laws. He is sincerely convinced that he is doing a good and necessary deed when he robs a chipmunk—oh, how fat! — or strangle a squirrel—not squealing so much—that he is loved and admired, not only for his dexterity, but also for his actions.
However, the Ermine is indeed most often a selfless and sympathetic person, more willing than others to come to the rescue. Moreover, he can lend to the needy both his own and someone else's equally sincerely.
The toad is perhaps the most amazing animal, because it can live both on the water and under water, and on the shore. The toad lives even in the forest in the trees. This amazing adaptability gives a person born in the period of the Toad the opportunity both to work in the simplest jobs, say, in the field or in the forest as a woodcutter, and to occupy the highest posts in the state, to lead troops, to reach heights in music, literature, art, and science.
Toads are less prone to discouragement than others, because they feel good everywhere, but this has another side: Toads are so comfortable everywhere that they rarely strive anywhere else. A Toad Man can, for example, work all his life as a gardener, knowing full well that he could, if he sweated a little more, become a steward, a voivode or even a king in this state.
And why, the Toad usually answers. I feel good as it is. And the Tsar has to get away from everyone, to take care of his skin, the Tsar is always to blame, they hang all the dogs on the Tsar...
Toads are prized for their golden souls, which are covered with nondescript skins, but the Toads themselves are reluctant to get along with people, for the soul is not a garment, it still needs to be considered!
Grasshopper – more than anyone else, he does not like to show fatigue, defeat, misfortune. He always sings, always spreads his wings, preens himself in the sun. People smile, looking at the Grasshoppers, a tiny drop of the sun shines in each Grasshopper.
The grasshopper is very easy to rise, and although the heart flutters with fear before each jump, it still jumps, spreads its wings and flies, flies, trembling with fear and delight. In a new place, large scary animals may be waiting for you, there may be predatory spiders, but there may also be a beautiful meadow with juicy grass, sweet berries and... other beautiful Grasshoppers, Beetles, Butterflies!
Perhaps the greatest coward in the world, the Grasshopper admits this only to those closest to him, and for everyone else he is a carefree and cheerful creature to whom everything comes easily, without effort, who easily gets along with all creatures in the world, both Grasshoppers and everyone else.
The grasshopper is not hardworking in the sense that he is restless, he grasps at one thing or another. He often abandons what he started, but for others it is surprising that he manages to do a lot, even often more than others, who are assiduous. And the secret is that the Grasshopper, having abandoned a lot of things halfway, nevertheless returns to half of them and, ashamed of his cowardice, finishes quickly and successfully.
And if we take into account that the Grasshopper grasps everything quickly, then we can say that the great Clan created it in one of its best days and in a good state of mind.
A hamster is a creature that sleeps almost nine months a year, but in the remaining months it develops frantic activity, managing to collect bread from the fields and fill pantries to the ceilings.
A Hamster man is able to work day and night without rest, hastily take a sip of hot coffee and again immerse himself in work. On such days, he manages to do as much as the Ant-born does in a month. But then the Hamster, exhausted, falls down with his tongue out and comes to his senses for a long, long time, and the Ant keeps working, working, working, and when the time comes to compare the results, it is not yet known who manages to do more!
Hamsters are loved for their gentle character, slowness and good nature. They are seen most often on vacation, and hamsters love and know how to rest, even if rest is just lying on the grass under the sun.
The Ravlik is particularly sensitive. They have a very subtle and accurate sense of other people, Ravliks can make excellent leaders, as they know how to ignite and lead people, how to influence them to throw themselves into the abyss. But this hypersensitivity also turns into another side: they are either ready to give everything they have to someone else's, or, having come to their senses, they fence themselves off with a wall even from their loved ones, all the time repeating to themselves that they have been deceived as many times as possible, it's time to think about themselves...
This hypersensitivity makes them painfully vulnerable. Escaping, they go into the shell, from there they only move their, looking around the world, trying not to interfere in anything. These people live in a half-invented world, they are much better there than in the real one, and when they return, they always say with anguish that they were too late to be born, that they would have been a couple of hundred years ago, or even a thousand, for some reason believing that in the past they would necessarily have been princes, and not serfs!
There are no better interlocutors for communication than Ravliks, because from innate hypersensitivity they always see the mood of the interlocutor, they will never say rudeness, they will always come to the rescue, help to get out of a delicate situation.
Ravliks are smart, although their intelligence almost never leads to enrichment, a successful career, or the prosperity of their business. No one is better able to invent illusory worlds than Ravliks, but how much they lose on the way from sweet dreams to reality!
The ant is almost the only creature in the world that is never afraid to overwork. An ant can rarely be seen idle, but even then it either cleans its paws and ears, licks its shiny armor, and a person born an Ant not only plans the day ahead in moments of rest, but also tries to do it more persistently than others.
The ant is constantly at work, even if it looks like aimless wandering through the thickets. He either grazes cattle, at the same time protecting them from strange Ants, or builds, drags prey into the house. He will never say to himself: enough is enough, I have done enough. He always tries to do more, for which he is appreciated, respected, although they try to burden him with more work, to transfer part of their work to him. The ant drags, murmurs very rarely.
Such diligence is rewarded: the Ant is noticed, promoted, the work is given more and more difficult, more responsible. And let them say that the Ant takes not with his mind, but with hard work, but genius is one percent of talent and ninety-nine percent of diligence!
Khrushch – no one experiences such drastic changes in life as Khrushch. When a worm digs in the ground and gnaws at the roots, he is sure that it will be like this for the rest of his life. When he turns into a chrysalis and freezes in great peace, he exclaims in enlightenment: "What a fool I used to be!", implying that now he has finally understood how to live, now he knows how to live, now he will live only like this...
But the time comes, and the cocoon bursts, a young beetle crawls out of the ground, spreads its wings...
More than anyone else, Khrushcha is tormented by the fact that it is impossible to explain to your children how they will live, they will not believe, in general it is impossible to explain to anyone how to live in order to be able to turn into Real-With-Wings, because most of them will die as fat blind worms...
In his work, Khrushch easily reaches any heights, if he is not led away from the easy path of his career by more complex searches for truth, philosophical or religious paths, the search for moral and ethical gates to the right life.
Beaver – Beaver's desire for order and peace led to the fact that he learned to build dams, raise the level of streams and rivers, and make dams. All animals adapt to the weather, only the Beaver adapts it to himself, adjusts it to his character and routine.
The Beaver always has everything at hand, he is never in a hurry, he works calmly and confidently. Other animals are jealous, but Beaver's life is too difficult for them. Being a Beaver is a lot to know and be able to do a lot. But when animals are fleeing in panic from a thunderstorm or forest fire, it is enough for the Beaver to dive into his underwater house and calmly wait out a trifle, which is a disaster for others. The Beaver knows how to arrange his life in such a way that everyone feels calm and protected next to him, even if the rest of the world is collapsing.
The dog is a distinctive feature - loyalty and fearlessness. In a world where no one keeps his word, the Dog is the only one who still adheres to the old canons of honor, fidelity to his word, he will never hit a lying person, in the back or below the belt, no matter what benefits are promised and no matter how much he is laughed at for his old-fashioned habits.
He is faithful to his friends to the point of blindness, to stupidity, and no betrayals and betrayals can wean him from believing people, protecting them.
But, strange to say, even his opponents trust him more than their friends and associates. The dog can be trusted with money, a secret and his own life. If a friend is threatened with trouble, the Dog cannot be frightened either with a knife or with power. He won't wash his face calmly like the Cat when the owner is killed nearby, he will jump and grab the throat, even if he knows that this is his last jump.
For the Dog, it is much more important to live in harmony with conscience in life than with the law, which is one today, another tomorrow. He does not strive for a career, but you often see him at the top of business, politics, management systems, because the Dog is trusted even by his opponents.
The bear is the master of the forest, but not the king of beasts, not the king of all forests, steppes, deserts and mountains... and all because before the Bear was born his excessive laziness. He knows it, he has become accustomed to it, he can tell something about himself that makes him look ridiculous.
Only a few people know that the seemingly clumsy Bear overtakes a racehorse, is able to strangle a moose and carry it in its front paws, that it smells a mouse's nest under a dense layer of solid earth and is able to get a mouse out of there before the most dexterous cat has time to say "meow". But it is not strength and dexterity that make him the master of the forest.
He is considered to be the main one because, for all his power, he is surprisingly simple and careless, condescending to the weak, does not offend trifles, and is content with surprisingly little: to get honey, lie in the thickets of raspberries, basking and feasting on the belly...
The bear, to the envy of many animals and birds, sleeps in a warm den during the fierce winter, which speaks of his great intelligence and ability to settle down... if he really needs it.
