Name: Shannon
House: Ravenclaw

Explanation: The first image I found - and the one I wanted to be the main piece - was the Book Wyrm image. Claws absolutely adore reading, and they're known for absorbing knowledge like sponges. But I specifically went looking for something like this because a Claw will also appreciate the "wyrm" pun instead of the traditional "worm." Claws never let a word joke pass them by! Below it is an image from a very traditional Claw book, Alice in Wonderland, with the Cheshire Cat reminding us that Claws often see the world differently than others. Like Luna, we see reality in the way we choose, not the way others want us to.This is also why I choose the quote about footprints on the moon. Never try to hold a Claw back, because our desires and dreams aren't confined to this world. We think outside the box, even if that box encompass the whole planet. Below is another play on words, this time combining the famous Pokemone meme in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry, which is a visual history of the Norman conquest of England. In one image, we combine a love of contemporary nerd culture with a history geek's passion for the past. Finally, at the top left, we have a Viking Pusheen avatar - even kitties have to be ready to pillage! - and a nod to two of the biggest Claw shows ever to air on television, Star Trek and the Big Bang Theory. Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock, anyone?
