The Soul Urge number derives from the name vowels, and reflects one's heart's desires. It describes the name holder's inner yearnings, likes and dislikes. Although it is considered a core influence, it is less important than the Life Path or Expression / Destiny numbers because it reflects inner feelings that are kept private and are not frequently exposed to others.

Seven Soul Urgers come into the world with a strong spiritual sense and need to connect with nature. Sevens like to explore and learn about the world around them. They feel most content by thoughtful and intellectual endeavors.
The Personality Number derives from the name consonants, and is sometimes considered the mask which one wears in public. It indicates how one presents themselves to the world and vice versa, how one is perceived by others. The personality that one displays to the world may be very different from their true nature.

A Life Path of six describes a born nurturer. The desire to feel needed and loved causes the six to act as a predominant caretaker whether at home, at school or the workplace. Likewise, six will most likely become involved in their community and humanitarian organizations. Six is the most domestic of the Life Path numbers. Sixes are responsible and reliable and thrive when they feel needed.
To answer your second question, I’ve taken from some other beliefs the idea of giving someone your name is to give them power over you. And as the story progresses, we will see that Seraphina is a pretty powerful force! I won’t go into too much more detail on that, but just know she is very powerful.
Once again, thank you super much for the ask, I love rambling about this story; please oh please keep the asks coming!!
