spirit animal = parasocial relationship?

so, in typical white girl fashion, you may have eavesdropped a conversation that included the phrase "such and such is my spirit animal!"

besides the obvious oversized-starbucks and selfie taking, the only thing that really seemed out of the ordinary was the terminology that was being used here. Spirit animal is a term that I, myself have seen pop up more and more recently to define that one special someone that you share almost everything with...

...except the one crucial part of actually having met each other.

Sound familiar?

I my mind's eye, someone's 'spirit animal' can be considered a synonym for a parasocial relationship; they're practically the same thing in multiple facets.

So, in that case, my 'spirit animal' is Jim Halpert from the office.

What's everyone's 'spirit animal'?
