Day 3 - Pride
Wrath, you had your five minutes on day one! Let Narinder has some fun!
I couldn't imagine anyone else representing Pride. My husband thought Kallamar would be a good fit too - but yet my Kallamar, while he was indeed very self-righteous and confident in his intelligence, also knew that Narinder was Shamura's favourite - and that made him always feel "worse brother".
I chose white as my pride colour - for many reasons… First, self-imposed: 'cause it is the colour of The One Who Waits' robes. Second - 'cause the white colour is a combination of all other colours. The white light contains the entire rainbow. Ha! The double meaning of the word Pride! And also 'cause white has always been associated with pride. The white colour at the wedding shows the purity of the bride - when everyone knows that she has already slept her soon-to-be husband. White colour as the colour of the afterworld, Heaven, where most people are convinced that they will go, although they are not saints… White colour is associated with the absence of sin, purity, modesty - that's why it is so… perverse as Pride, right? :3
By the way, have you noticed that of all the deadly sins, only Pride has both positive and negative meanings? I mean in English… In Polish we have two words: "duma" (e.g. pride in being oneself, pride in a child, etc.) and "pycha" (as conceit, arrogance, one of the deadly sins). "Pycha" also means that something is tasty, delicious (pyszne), just "yummy" - but that's a completely different thing X"D
Fun fact from my AU (couldn't miss it ;D): although Narinder's identity is kept secret in the village at first, he grows bolder over time, and finally ordering himself a robe like the one he wore in Limbo - and parading around in it whenever possible (usually then when he is not rushing with a broom, cleaning up poop after the followers).
