I know you're busy so take your time with this ask! I was curious what you think everyone's spirit guardian would be (for the RFA plus maybe the minor trio?). A spirit guardian is usually in animal form, so it's kinda like a spirit animal in simple terms. It's a guardian that doesn't have to match the personality of the person, per se, but compliments them and challenges them to grow in some way.

What an interesting ask! Haven’t seen anything like this before

Zen:  A bear

• The bear stands for strength and confidence
  
• Its for taking leadership, and take action without fear
• Although Zen is often stereotyped as a confident narcissist, there is more to him than that. Because of his past, he needed to get more confident in himself, and a bear spirit would help to give him confidence and inner strength
• This spirit animal can symbolize healing abilities, whether it’s at the physical, emotional or spiritual level
  
• I think this would suit Zen, so he can grow into a more content and confident person on the inside as well what he shows people

Yoosung: A deer

• The deer stands for gentleness, sensitivity and being able to get through obstacles in life
• With its gentleness, grace and innocence, it would connect Yoosung to his inner self, and show him that he doesn’t have to be more “tough and manly” to be an adult, but rather accept his nature
• With its ability to get through the bad times your life and move into a new “terrain”, it would help him come at ease with the whole Rika situation. Learning to accept that there are several different stages in life and not just focusing the one you’re in right now can be difficult, but the deer would show him how to do so without necessarily forgetting the other stages

Jumin: A panther

• The panther stands for understanding of death, knowing the dark, and power
• Even though he doesn’t act upon it, the whole situation did leave some impact on him. Seeing his best friend and leader of the group fall, and everything that happened before and after, must have made him somewhat closed off
• It would help him understand what he really wants, what position in life he’d rather be in, and accept how things were before
• It would help him really take the lead, and stand up for what he thinks is right

Seven: A fox

• The fox stands for physical or mental responsiveness, seeing through deception and ability to find your way around
• The fox is ofter seen as a trickster, but there is more intelligence and observation behind that than people thinks
• It would help him to be more observant, and help him take wiser decision on an everyday basis
• It also challenges him to move quick and swiftly, having confidence in that there is nothing more to do with what lies behind you. Of course, this doesn’t mean he should ignore his brother, but rather think more about what is really the best choice to make at the given moment

Saeran: A wolf 

• The wolf stands for sharp intelligence, deep connection with instincts, and wanting freedom 
• It would help him trust his instincts and accept the current situation. The wolf is similar to Saeran in that it wants to be alone, and has a hard time trusting people
• However, it would help him be more free in a good way too, and help him be more sure of himself and what he wants
• The wolf is known for being alone, but rather than just that, it could stand for knowing your personal boundaries and learning to accept that people are different in that area

V: A butterfly 

• The butterfly stands for powerful transformation, renewal/rebirth, and
  the world of the soul
• A butterfly helps with important changes in your life. It would help make the impact a bit milder, and help him with the obvious pain the situation has led him to
• It also stands for a certain innocence and lightness in life. It would help him see the world from a slightly different point of view, and remind him of his beliefs and peacefulness 
• It helps him show his true colours, and supports him in times of personal transformation

Vanderwood: A panda

• The panda stands for gentle strength and nurturing ability
• It would help him come at ease with himself, and accept things how they are. With its heart-centered energy, it would remind him to properly take care of himself and let him be at ease with who he is
• As opposed to Vanderwood, the panda has a soft and kind-looking outside while being strong on the inside. With this contrast, Vanderwood being tough looking on the outside while maybe not so strong all the time on the inside, it would remind him that it’s ok to not always keep a strong mask while still being confident with himself and his choices 
• The panda also teaches the importance of personal boundaries, letting him know that its fine to keep his distance in order to be comfortable and gain healthy relationships with other people
