Sherbet's Design Motifs VS Grora
Part 1 : Initial Facts | Part 2 | Part 3 to come
Ok so following up from my angels' uniform design motif, I really like the hidden storytelling between Sherbet and Grora.
Before we get into the design itself, I would like to point out that, of the current TGG cast, absolutely NO ONE has revealed any opinion on the warverse cast. Except for Grora, about Sherbet and Froze specifically.
Which highlights that Sherbet is at least a significant figure in Grora's life in a way Rigatona and Ciel is not. After all, both Froze and Macarona have extremely drastic changes in personality, yet she only compares the former to her warverse counterpart.
I would also like to point out that this may have carried over to Froze as well. Out of the four protags, Grora seems to care about Froze more than her companions and vice versa.
Back to the analysis, I've mentioned that Grora's current design actually looks better for war instead of her actual warverse design. While I was thinking of practicality-wise, I think it also matches Sherbet's design motifs.
I always thought her hair ornament is a bit out of place compared to the rest of her warverse design, yet is very in-line with her current one.
One could argue that the three black diamonds on the ends of her coat and boots as well as the six diamond buttons (?) on her waist are following the pattern on her hair ornament, but I don't really like it since her current design is very consistent with the motif being eight white buttons. Instead, I think the diamonds allude to another theory which I'll get back to later.
The eight buttons / diamonds on a V end ribbon is a very uniquely Grora motif in the whole of TGG cast, one that is very important because there is only one motif that is veeeerryyy similar to it. And for one angel, it's more visible than the other.
Froze and Sherbet are both ice angels, but rather than any snowflake or ice motif, they have squares tiles with four buttons that, just like Grora, are present mirroring her design from the same time period. Froze has it everywhere in her attire, just like TGG Grora, while Sherbet has it in only one spot – his scarf, just like Warverse Grora. However, the buttons on his coat may be another nod to his motif.
Finally – I have mentioned this as well in my angel designs pattern analysis – both Sherbet and Grora wear achromatic clothes whereas none of the others do. There is only one other angel who wear achromatic clothes, and his attire is designed to mirror Kcalb's.
(Kcalb's image is lightened for this, but you can see that the top half closely resemble each other)
I theorize that this is a sign of Etihw's favor, considering that Wodahs is the head angel and Grora is implied to be of quite high ranking or liked by Etihw, to the point of speaking casually with them in GGT. Logic dictates that Sherbet should have more blue hues to highlight his ice powers, but if we take this theory into account, then this means he is an angel favored by Ethiw themselves – an identity that overrides his status as ice angel to be presented design-wise.
