Just a query. Why would Whisper be a Raccoon shaman if he's
English? We don't have raccoons over here. Seems strange to
take an animal not native to your country as a totem.

Cheers,
James.

IMHO:
Shaman do not "take" a totem, they take you...
Totems know no bounds. What is geography to a totem? That is why
Whisper went to the America to find his totem. He felt empty
inside and no one could fill it. Whisper was a thief before he
was shaman.

Well it doesn't exist but how about the Magpie, although this one isn't
very clever, just tends to take anything as and when it can. For a clever
thief try fox, sly cunning and fights well when cornered what better type
of thief is there ?
