I've been having trouble picking Unions for my characters, since they don't seem to mean much of anything. So I went hunting for general symbolism about each of the animals used as mascots/namesakes for the Unions, and put together a short thing:

LEOPARDOS
Leopards are symbols of bravery, wisdom, and wildness. They are hunters and mysterious, and have a great need for privacy, giving them a reputation of being secret-keepers.

UNICORNIS
Unicorns are symbols of truth, innocence, and self-knowledge. They are associated with purification, as their signature horns have the ability to heal wounds and purify tainted water.

ANGUIS
Snakes are symbols of cunning, rebirth, and passion. They are known for their protective natures, and are often evoked as guardians.

VULPEUS
Foxes are symbols of intelligence, adaptability, and intuition. They are often seen as messengers of both good and ill fortune.

URSUS
Bears are symbols of strength, freedom, and nurturing. They are known for their contradictory nature, as they may be fierce, but also greatly enjoy the peaceful life, like lounging in the sun while eating honey.

So what do you guys think?
