Secret friend

Bonds come from each animal's position among the twelve, as tradition sets them. They describe the Dragon sign in general, not any one person.
Dates are computed estimates from the Hong Kong Observatory's calendar tables, counted in China's time zone. Some traditions change the animal at the start of spring (around 4 February) instead of at Lunar New Year.
