Commentary:

  • Made from the dark blue/black ink of the cuttlefish. The fish spreads that ink around itself to hide and escape its pursuers.
  • This type surrounds itself with a cloud of impenetrableness when stressed. Very guarded.
  • Seems detached and aloof but can be sensitive and perceptive to other people’s needs.
  • Prefers to be alone.
