Fascinator/Magical Doctor (Flashing warning)/SIU
Explanations under the cut
Fascinator: Odin and Grimnir have a... strained relationship in Shinbaha, to put it nicely. Grimnir tends to get the brunt of punishments due to sneaking off to the mortal world to meet with the Knight (the player) and learning about mortals, along with accidentally starting a war that one time. We've also seen him to be quite fearful of Odin's punishments, which was so strong the fear was passed down to Hnikar. In the 7th Anni event, when Grimnir was forced to destroy a world similar to Mystalsia for Mystalsia's sake, he still wished the Knight would be strong enough to defeat him as he himself is powerless to go against Odin's orders.
In Granblue, spoilers for Grimnir's FLB Fate, he doesn't resent Odin for using him as a weapon compared to Rage of Bahamut. It's interesting to see the contrasts of a world where Grimnir was able to leave Odin and the responsibilities of War God early, seeing as he questioned if he was even fit for the role in Shinbaha. He even mentions how he wants "things between (him and Odin) to go back to the way they were before." Would Shinbaha Grimnir feel the same if he left Odin?
Fascinator also has a theme of hands in the PV, and Grimnir's arm is the gift he was given by Odin. In Dragalia Lost we see that it does actually hinder him slightly (He finds it annoying when it throbs), though I'm still not sure what it does exactly.
Anyway, I think he deserves to be a lil mad at what Odin's done to him in Shinbaha. It's sort of a uh... bad dad situation, to say the least.

Magical Doctor: Many thoughts on this one. Hnikar, having been exiled from the heavens for being too "stupid" (it appears it's actually to protect him because of his childish personality) believes stupidity can be "cured" by studying at school. His literal wording is to "cure" his stupidity, which is the same wording in Magical Doctor. His stupidity came as a side effect of the lightning abilities he was granted by Odin, which was what split his personality into two people. I see this song to come from his childish, "public" personality instead of his more serious god form.
The lyrics say "Doctor, will my illness be cured?" Hnikar tells his teacher, which shares the same word as doctor (sensei), that he'll do his best to be cured. The voice who says to stop skipping in the halls within the song also sounds like Ms. Miranda, and the first time we ever met Hnikar was when he was running in the halls.
The lyrics "I can't become a princess, I can't go back to that time" could be seen as wanting to return to the heavens as a god/weapon of Odin alongside his brothers, along with his other, more serious personality wanting to break through.
I haven't finished the full 7 Mysteries of Mysteria Academy event yet but it's already bumped Hnikar up my favourites list so OOPS. I have an animatic for this song planned for this fella so maybe I'll do it?

SIU: This was a toss up between SIU and Mind Brand, but in the end I went with the former since I believe Mind Brand is too aggressive for Jafnhar. Jafnhar can see the truth, thoughts and any desires, good or bad, within a person as long as her eye is not covered. As a result, she stifles it with her eyepatch due to the stream of information, usually the negative thoughts of mortals, being too overwhelming for her to see at all times.
She is also able to judge the heart of a mortal by opening up a world made from their soul, along with her eye ability from Odin. SIU is a song regarding the circumstances and status of one's birth, along with judging a person for reincarnation. Jaf tends to want to help humans but can't due to having to follow Odin's will, hence the lyrics "I want to offer them love, but...", as well as being able to see all of the hardships mortals deal with but being unable to do anything about them so she covers up her eye. She also believes its fair for people to resent her because it comes with being a god.
Jaf is also fun to draw yay. I have a LOT to say about her and her abilities, she's cool.
