#siri not being able to swim has been canon since i created her and it's my favourite funfact abt her

[artinandwritin]

OK I WANA KNOW

Which of your characters has your favorite symbolism. I love symbolism in characters pls tell meee

OKAY OKAY SO my absolute favourite symbolism in any of my characters is Siri's water/ocean symbolism!!! It's a running thing in her story that most of her important moments concern smt water-related, such as her first child - lil Niv - being born on the ocean and then being lost to that same ocean, her whole storyline with Ludvig has a water-connection, plus, water is a pretty important thing in her job as a midwife/healer.

Water is a symbol for her personality as well. Siri is a very calm and sweet character, gentle as water is to wounds and soft as a stream. However, the turmoil both the Ludvig and the Niv events and her marriage have given her reveal the deep emotions that crash out of her like the sea crashes on shore.

You could basically call her a rip current, smooth on the outside, a strong pull on the inside, which is what makes her such a complex character with such different aspects to her - just as water has a lot of aspects to it.

Ty sm for asking!!! I love this aspect of my baby girl and ive been wanting to talk about it for a while now!!!

The funniest thing abt Siri's water connection tho is

That she can't even swim

To demonstrate, have a drawing from early 2020 as a lil treat <333
