Daemons A part of peoples' personality in Lyra's world. They take the shape of an animal, usually of the opposite sex. Humans can never move more than a few yards away from their daemons, or vice versa. Witches can be geographically parted from their daemons for short periods of time. The daemons of children can constantly change their shape, but adults' daemons have settled into one shape, and cannot change. Armoured bears do not have daemons.
Dr. Dee A magician who lives at Mortlake.
Dust A mysterious force which seems to settle on people when they grow up. It terrifies the agents of the Church. It is also known as Rusakov particles (after the Muscovite- Boris Mikhailovitch Rusakov- who discovered the particles)
