During the process of drawing the first illustration, an idea for the second one popped into my head...

For the second illustration, I conducted a little online investigation. Indeed, in this anime, flowers symbolize female characters, but what if we try to pick a flower for one of the main characters—Jinshi? Ultimately, I settled on the gladiolus.

These gladiolus flower words are derived from xiphos, a greek word and they denote this flower as xiphium which means sword, same meaning just like the Latin word gladius have which is sword.

Color purple in general symbolizes royalty, nobility and beauty. The purple Gladiolus flower is a symbol of grace, mystery and charm.
