#tag games.#oc: diana #oc: mehlia #oc: dani #oc: ithrenil #oc: reina #oc: tereza #essays in the tags time because diana's has a lot of symbolism so i'm so sorry!!! and i love that hers is the most simplistic looking too #so. diana. there's a lot to unpack here so strap in besties!!! i associate moon orchids with her and orchids in #general (as well as lilies) but first of all. moon being reflected in both moon orchids and pearls with her association with the goddess #diana (which was all on accident and i noticed all similar associations after the fact). it's ironic to me that both white orchids and #pearls symbolise peace and purity amongst other things... but when we're looking at all colours of orchids there's femininity/elegance/#pride/sexuality/virility/reverence/beauty/new beginning etc. and with pearls. so. her engagement ring was actually a pearl set between two #diamonds. and she's almost always wearing pearl studs. and if she's dressing up she'll wear necklaces or bracelets also. but pearls too #have a few things in common with orchids when it comes to symbolism but then on top of that there's wisdom/wealth/integrity/commitment etc.#omg i have a lot just for diana. okay. so behind the orchid. idk what plant is called but imagine green herb from lore okay? so healing and #life. then the charred branches. death and decay. tie that in with the snake and you have the associations with ouroboros and the concept #of life death and rebirth. and i have always associated her with spring and renewal after the deaths in winter. you understand. then the #snake and frog are also just because she's a herpetologist :] okay mehlia. i'm not going to go on massive essays here i swear but #sunflowers and association with the sun and joy and happiness and just someone who has a very bright and cheerful personality. bees because #her name means honey and also she has honey blonde hair as well. dani. like a blooming barrel cactus because she's from arizona OR a #parodia cause her boyf carlos is from sa (possibly colombia or brazil. we don't know and those are the two i'm torn with). then was cheeky #and decided red herb like diana has the green herb. then ofc her motifs of butterflies and birds as well as clouds all because flying and #her being a pilot. but butterflies being symbols of transformation and hope as well as life and renewal. and with birds i mean in general #there's freedom but i think more of lovebirds and hummingbirds mainly. lovebirds obvious but hummingbirds being messengers of hope and #bringing healing and luck to people while also being associated with joy/endurance/restoration and a reminder to enjoy life :]#ithrenil and the moon. i've talked about this all a lot but they are a werewolf so just. you know all the symbolism with the moon and how #that correlates with werewolves and cycles!! okay reina. roses because her daughter's name is rosa and they are special to her. then halo #and angel wings because the saint of all saints. i just had to. tereza the yellow flowers are what donna used to cause people to have #hallucinations and the flies are ofc because she's around the daughters a lot in the castle. hitting limit so i have to be succinct here :(
