Surface Pressure & Pegasus Feathers AU/fic Concepts: Zephyr Lily / Rain Flower :)

Here is a quick visual aid for Zephyr Lily (also known as Rain Flower in Skyworld), Dark Pit's pegasus companion in my KUI AU/fic! (Btw if you're seeing this concept for the first time, everything related is linked in my fic under read more :)

Here are some story-related fun facts ^^

-She was adopted by her herd when she was a foal (Snowfall Fury & Dust Storm took care of her, and she later helped look after their foals (her siblings) for a while before meeting Dark Pit and deciding to leave the nest to help him with his missions)

-Inspiration for her design/name: When I was younger I got a black horse stuffed animal with a white spot on its forehead, which was like the center of a flower to me, so I named her Flower! 

Dark Pit thinks the same thing, except he chooses a specific kind of flower: A rainflower/zephyrlily :)

Because of her inspiration, I like the idea that she was a stuffed animal brought to life through some magic means somehow. I don't know how it would make sense technically, but I think it makes her being drawn to Dark Pit extra special because they were both born from magic ^^

-Rainflowers symbolize rebirth, new beginnings and big expectations (very relevant to Dark Pit in this fic)

It also has another meaning:  "I love you back, I must atone for my sins, I will never forget you"

I would split this between three characters.

I love you back (Dark Pit), I must atone for my sins [mistakes] (Palutena), I will never forget you (Pit)

But telling you exactly why would be spoilers lol, I like to be cryptic ;)))

You can definitely theorize though, all will be clearer eventually! ^^
