hair: How does your OC wear their hair? Does it have some kind of meaning? (does she arrange/trim/braid her fur!)

OC Asks: Character Design Edition !

In the first concepts when this Blog was set up, one of Zivs details was that she would use artifical braided strains of blue and yellow theards to pin with metalrings to her fur on her head to have long hair. With that she would resamble her namessake Sif, who long golden hair is a symbol to growing wheat and a coming harvest, which makes the fact that Loki cut off the hair (comdeming humans to misharvest and eventual starvation) really devasting past the fact that long hair is a symbol of freedom and Sifs high standing (taking her high standing or even state of a Aesir and nobility from her by cutting her hair and making her resamble a Unfree). However that idea was scrapped because it did not looked good on Ziv and the only thing Ziv kept from her namesake was the colour Yellow | Golden colour of wheat, her connection to the Rowan tree ( Ziv beeing the word for a Rowanlike tree on Tynna as a headcanon, and Zivs treehoroscope beeing the Eberesche), her connection to growing crops as a botanist and as said, her name, the Name of Thore (as the danish version of Thor) and the names of her (and obviously Thores) daughters being Thrud and Ullr.

However, outside of earlier concepts, Ziv usually only shaves the Symbol for Healer in the outer Layer of her fur on her chest so when she is working in areas with low literacy, people will still see that she is a Healer and that they can come to her for help and support in medical matters. Usually that symbol grows out in the time of eight weeks and Ziv uses that as a signal to leave the place for another. Hiding from the empire means after all, staying on the move.
