I'm probably a tortoise.
It is famous for having their home wherever they go - I, too, am a homebody. I can spend many days at home, finding new activities regularly. The only difference is that tortoise must bring their shell everywhere as it very much a part of their body, while I still do need to go out once in a while.
Tortoises also hide themselves in their shells upon facing danger. Inside shell = safe zone. Though I'd rather for it not to be true, I have to admit that I tend to pull myself out of uncomfortable situations. I also need a LOT of time to warm up to unknown territory, because the unknown is always scary.
Having said that, I'd love to adopt the more positive characters of the tortoise. Just like the childhood fairytale, the tortoise was steadfast and ended up winning in a seemingly impossible race to win. That kind of steadfastness is something admirable, be it at work or in relationships with anyone.
