Anthropomorphism, or personification, is attribution of human form or other characteristics to anything other than a human being. Examples include depicting deities with human form and ascribing human emotions or motives to forces of nature, such as hurricanes or earthquakes.
Anthropomorphism has ancient roots as a literary device in storytelling, and also in art. Most cultures have traditional fables with anthropomorphised animals, which can stand or talk like humans, as characters.
The word anthropomorphism was first used in the mid-1700s.[1][2] The word derives from the Greek ἄνθρωπος (ánthrōpos), "human", and μορφή (morphē), "shape" or "form".

I realized that I have been doing this ever since I began collecting these stuffed animals.
In the UK I only have 10 plushes but back home, there are aproximately 40 more in the collection.
By the looks of it, the collection won't end very soon.
I have personificated them by attributing them names, age and even nationality.
