I generally write down key words that I find in their application that reflects their personality. I also write down their options of whats important for their animagus to have, as well as their desired environment and preferred traits. This way I have a list of things ready to go, and I feel like this really helps me focus on voting. If I don't do this, I get too caught up in excess words and it takes much longer for me to vote. I like to include all the possible animals I can see relating to them before searching on wiki.
If I can't think of animal choices, I may just do a google search for animals using the key words I write down. Generally I'll be inspired by something! I also have an encyclopedia of animals on my shelf that I may whip out when I'm desperate. I like opening random pages for ideas, and that will usually start me off on the right track.
