Each individual flora umbra takes on minor illusions to their original host, and on occasion will mimic them. The personalities of the umbra are based upon their host as well, though that may change depending on how long the umbra has been around. They reflect the age of their host, for sure (Like if I had an umbra pop out of me they’d be 21) but their experiences will shape how they appear relative to the host.In a narrative sense, the umbra also are directly symbollic towards the negative traits of the characters. Let’s use S’wallow as an example. S’wallow is very anxious, has difficulty socializing, is literally closed off from the world due to their venus flytrap head, and dabbles in using addictive substances to ward off their anxiety. These all reflect aspects of Millie, potent or otherwise. She has a lot of looming anxiety and has taught herself better social skills since her youth, but these are issues she faces that linger and persist in the back of her mind.To remove an umbra from one’s life is difficult; there are two major methods. One is to rejoin with your umbra, understand that the problem they manifest as is a part of you and you alone have to deal with it. Or, is to let the umbra go, realize that this issue is not one that you can/must resolve and allow the flora umbra to lead their own life.
