Next for my Team SLVR allusion analysis series is Vella Moisia, a very interesting character I would say. Vella alludes to Vellamo, the Finnish goddess of the sea. She oversees the ocean and represents beauty & grace.

Vellamo wears a blue dress made of sea foam. Vella’s semblance allows her to project blue glyphs that can attract to each other. She can wrap glyphs around her waist like a dress.

Her weapon is a bladed bow that fires bullets. It is named "Chatareus", derived from the scientific name of the largescale archerfish, "Toxotes chatareus". This is a nod to Vellamo, who blessed fisherman who journeyed her waters. The archerfish was specifally chosen because the weapon is part bow, making Vella an "archer".

Vella’s name is derived from Vellamo, as well as being a shortening of the word "Velloa" which means "wave/water movement/billows". Her last name, Moisia, means "extraordinary, wonderful", which could reference Vellamo’s beauty. Vellamo could walk on water. In the Viridian Trailer, Vella is fighting on frozen water. At the end, she slowly walks away into the frozen waves, with wave sounds accompanying her in the background.

Vella has a moon shot in her Trailer. She has a theme of water & waves, which are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. This ties her into Team SLVR’s moon theme.

Fanmade SLVR "Regalia" Trailer

I just want to talk about the things I noticed in the trailers and what I can tell about them :3

Simin :

He seems to have some kind connection with the moon? I mean in the begining of his trailer we see him looking up at the moon and triying to "grab" it.

And the song that is used in the trailer is "black paper moon" (soul eater openiiing !).

Also the moon is still in one piece ? Maybe it was just a mistake or it's another timeline ?? Or maybe it's just that in every trailer the moon is in a "full moon" phase. (And it's just too bright to see the different pieces of the moon)

Apparently he has no semblance. At some point (if I'm not crazy) I think Mark said he had the semblance of making things harder to break when he touches them, but he changed it and now Simin has no semblance.

He seems to get along with Ragora !

Lycan:

This boy is feral !

I don't really know if he is a faunus but he does fight like a beast. He doesn't really have any animal feature, maybe his sharp teeth, but it could just be how his teeth look like.

His semblance is described like a mix of Blake's and Sun's semblance.

The song that is used in his trailer is "Yoru wa nemereru kai ?" ("Can you sleep at night ?" also the song in Ajin's first opening)

Going back on the faunus theory, "Ajin" does mean "Demi-human" soooo...

Also his outfit looks a biiiit like what a White fang would wear, just a bit.

I wonder if he gets along with Ragora, he seemed to be so mad at her familiar xD.

Vella:

So! She was chased in her trailer, by two robots. Maybe because of a mission or maybe it was something that happened before she was part of team SLVR.

ALSO, the place where they fight is really special, it looks like a sea was frozen. It's also the same blue as her hair and eyes. Maybe she's connected to this place?

The song used in her trailer is "Aoki tsuki michite" (also used in Black butler's ending in season 3) which is a pretty melancolic song.

She seemed happy in Regalia's trailer, but maybe she's sad character ?

She was being such a dork making a peace sign xD (and only Ragora had the kindness of at least waving back x)).

Ragora:

Sadly, there isn't much we can tell from Ragora in her trailer, the setting isn't really hers, since all members of the team are seen.

She's the first to have an original song ! It's called "Drawing down the moon" (again with the moon).

She is a witch ! Also she has an attack that resembles Adam's (in a way).

I wonder if her and her familiar have some kind of emotional connection. Like it seems to have some kind of free will? It did lick Simin's face. Maybe it means she likes him ? Or maybe it's just her familiar.

It makes me sad that as soon as I look down at the comments, I see people bashing RWBY and saying this is better for reasons I won’t repeat since I’m sure everyone has heard them millions of times by now. Some things never change.
