Mirror, mirror

I saw this picture on a forum and fell in love with it. A quick goggle search led me to the Palo Alto Host Lions. The following is from the writeup that accompanies the photo: "If you want to know his true nature, you must catch him unawares before the One Mirror where he loves to project his secret soul and gaze upon his true identity - the mighty Lion."

As someone who wears many different hats (wife, mother, writer, daughter, sister, friend, etc.) and often more than one at a time, I sometimes am surprised by the reflection staring back at me in the mirror. Unlike the ginger cat who is really a lion inside, I'm not sure I'd recognize my true identity if I saw it. What about you? Who or what would you see if you gazed into the One Mirror?
