The Outsider's Shapeshifting AU

What would you all see the Curtis gang as if they could shapeshift into animals? I have some lore to my little au already built up, but I'm having trouble deciding on what animals they can turn into [everyone can turn into one (1) animal].

If you see I've assigned someone an animal you don't agree with, feel free to tell me! I'm open to suggestions for all the characters! Also, feel free to suggest any animals you want, so long as they are land or flight animals.

(I keep wanting to put 'deer' next to Pony, so nothing is too outrageous!)

Curtis’ Gang Animals

Darry Curtis - Dog

Two Bit Mathews - Bird or Bear (?)

Dally Winston - Cat or Fox (?)

Steve Randle - Dog or Wolf (?)

Sodapop Curtis - Cat

Johnny Cade - Cat

Ponyboy Curtis - 

Curtis Gang isn't the only group of characters I need help deciding animals for, just so people know!

Other Notable Characters to Know

Mrs. Curtis - Cat

Mr. Curtis - Dog

Tim Shepard - Cat

Curly Shepard - Cat

(they are the only two characters I know for sure of exist, because I really don't know who 'Angela' is? From fanfics I've read, I'm guessing Curly is a twin?)

Paul Holden - Dog

Randy Anderson -

Bob Sheldon - Dog (?)

Marcia -

Cherry Valance -

A '(?)' means I am unsure about if the animal chosen fits the character. I would like to choose an animal for everyone that fits the character but also adds to it. And empty means I have no clue on what animal to 'assign' them.

And for reference, I am going based off of the Book/Movie Characters as I have not seen the 'show' or the Musical, I also have not read 'That Was Then, This is Now'! I don't know the other Socs or greasers that some people talk about.

I'm also using headcanons, like I have the lists in 'age order', from both canon and how I perceive them, since we don't know a lot of characters birthdays

If anyone wants some of my current world building/lore:

Shapeshifters AU, maybe an Outsiders Fic, where everyone can ‘come into’ their animal that they can shapeshift into once they reach a certain age. Love the idea that certain circumstances would change when or how you shapeshift for the first time.

Example, Johnny, he's 16 and only shapeshifted (he's a cat) because he felt safe at the Curtis house.

Well fed, loved, cared for children typically get their animal at 10, 12 at the latest if they are late bloomers. So West side kids typically get their animal at 10-12 years of age. East side kids are all between the ages of 13-18 (18 being the absolute last chance you have to get your animals, once you reach 19, you are considered 'defective')

Most siblings are typically the animal, but obviously they all look different. Most people take after their parents, some maybe a grandparent or great grandparent. Rarely do they become an animal not already in the direct family tree (i.e. from great-great grandparent to great grandparent, to grandparent, to parent, to child)

Feel free to ask questions, whether in comments or in the asks box! I'm 100 percent open to conversation and debate and talking with people! (I don't have many outsiders friends).

Speaking of female characters in The Outsiders, what do you all think their clothing styles and personality would be like? Characters we’ve read about or watched in the movie, what kind of depth do you think their characters have? I’ll try to give an idea of what I think. I also will say I don’t like a decent percent of the female characters bc of things they’ve been described to have done. Although Angela is the MVP we love her. @nexternalknowsthingz @thatonetotaldramaguy weigh in on this in curious.

Cherry: A girl a really tries to please both sides, can come off as arrogant and selfish but is forced to go along with what she is told (Socs forcing her to treat Greacers like trash). She although has a fiery side to her and has a big belief in her moral values (stuck up for Ponyboy at the drive in) she’s not perfect but I think she definitely tries and has good heart. 6/10 (God I hate her a lot though 😭)

Clothes:

Marcia: A genuine girl, shes very shy and polite. She can be sassy but also classy. Definitely also defends her friends like Cherry and is a real girls girl. Definitely also keeps out of trouble, she doesn’t trash Greasers but can believe some can be erratic or spontaneous into doing bad behavior. Doesn’t condone it but doesn’t make you feel bad for it. 8/10

Clothes:

Beverly: Now, forgive on this, but haven’t seen the musical so I don’t her personality at all. But she seems like she would take no shit. Think of Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls. Very demure, very mindful, but will bust you right up side the head if she thinks you acting up. I can also see her being a bit of a toxic friend who uses people as stepping stones. 3/10

Clothes:

Evie: Steve’s gf. Not much is told about her in both the in the book and movie but let’s be real, she’s dating Steve. (I personally ship Soda and Steve but if we’re going cannon…) I definitely she a loving girl but someone who can PARTYYYY! A friend who would give the most amazing advice, definitely the girl who like knows what you like before you telling her, example:

Evie: “What you want to eat?”

Friend: “Idk I’ve never ate here before.”

Evie: “I bet you’d like (random food and drink combo)

You order it and you fucking love it. She understands ur taste. 10/10

Clothes:

Sylvia: Oooo hold me back I’m gonna beat this girl up. Similar to Beverly but way more toxic and isn’t afraid to show. Bev would work behind backs and in the shadows, but Sylvia would just be a brat and absolutely bitch to your face. She wants to demolish your self esteem. Katy Perry’s song Hot and Cold (idk I don’t listen to Katy Perry lol could be the wrong song name). Like one minute she could be super sweet but then tear you down the next. Constantly keeps you on your toes and gaslights you till you cook

S/O (Prob past Dallas): “Hey I’m leaving to hang out with my friends.”

Sylvia: “You never talked about them, who are they? Where are you going?”

S/O: “I talked about hanging out with them this morning.”

Sylvia: “No you didn’t, stop lying. Maybe you should get your brain checked because you’ve mentioned them before. Are you gonna go cheat on me with them?” Etc. Not a good time, -10/10

Clothes:

Sandy: Well, she’s not good either. Definitely a little spoiled. Would def manipulate Soda into believing he was a bad bf bc he didn’t do one really small thing for her like pull her chair out in a restaurant for her. 😒 Miss literally cheated, got pregnant and left Soda. (Or Soda got her pregnant? Can’t remember lol) But I feel overall she’s very bratty and not fun to be around. 3/10

Clothes:

Angela: This bitch! WE LOVE HER!!!!!!!! Comes in clutch. Someone talking shit about someone she loves, smack to the face. Don’t like the way ur acting, ear gets pulled. She wouldn’t do this unprovoked either, like she would need good reasons. Def a lover to her friends and a fighter to her enemies. I also believe that she’s into exercise or weight lifting. Honestly in my opinion def the energetic on steroids version of Evie. 1000/10
