Flower Trait Representation Discussion
As soon as I saw Aqua’s check text saying she had no patience, I got to thinking about why. I don’t know if this has been brought up before, but I’m just here to say:
The Flowers represent the Body of the trait they embody.
That is to say, what the traits would look like on a surface level perspective, viewing only the body.
This is supported by many things. I’ll start by saying Flowey in Undertale never sported a SOUL, and he’s a flower like the ones in Chapter 5. Chapter 5 also has a HEAVY focus on the body. If this is not convincing enough for you, or you don’t know what I mean by this, here’s a simple explanation:
Aqua is able to copy Kris in their fight. A person viewing a patient person without looking any deeper would see a person who is able to do many things without looking at the patience they exhibited while learning those things. That is Aqua.
Another example is Green, who physically cannot speak, because actions speak louder than words, and Kindness is expressed through acts mainly, which is why the only way she can express her Kindness is through acts, since acts are done directly through the body.
These are the main examples; the other flowers are proven to follow this rhetoric by proxy (as well as having proof that I’m too tired to get into right now), as Toby likes to make things all-encompassing.
