Quote from just-a-melon

I'm going to start by saying - the only reason I'm bringing this up is I am very familiar with the study of religion, so this is a sensitive topic as it covers some religious beliefs that may differ from your own, if you understand that, continue! \

On old AKP - I used to dig into the symbolism of MVs and what certain scenes meant - I'd love to get back into that.

I will also be covering their respective animals, numbers, and their symbolism.

Giselle

Her symbol is the horned god - which is a symbol of power and virility. It also symbolizes the hunt. It is the counterpart to the Triple Goddess as well. It also can represent the control over animals. (Horned god on the right) This symbol comes from a Pagan/Celtic/Wiccan religion.

"In newer Wiccan traditions there is more emphasis on the Goddess. The Horned God impregnates the Goddess in the winter months, dies in autumn, and is reborn in winter. The Horned God is a mediator between the people and a larger unknown deity. The Horned God’s main function is to impregnate the goddess"

Giselle's animal is the Unicorn - a mystical creature that usually symbolizes many things - the most common being happiness, long life and magic. Legends state that for those to see a Unicorn, they must be free of heart.

Giselle's number is 22 - in numerology 22 is a representation of beginning to end - as the original Hebrew alphabet had 22 letters. 22 is one of the master numbers - which ties into her symbol and her animal. 22 is one of the most powerful numbers in existence. 22 can also symbolize balance.

NingNing

NingNing's symbol is pretty self-explanatory - the butterfly symbolizes rebirth, spiritual change and hope in most cultures.

NingNing's animal is the Tiger, which is usually a symbol for personal strength. The tiger should be a reminder that you need to persevere to reach your goals. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Tiger represents bravery and competitiveness and being unpredictable.

NingNing's number is 94 - in numerology is associated with realism, or being realistic rather. It also ties in with the butterfly of new beginnings.

Winter

Winter's symbol can have a few different meanings. The most common and widely accepted is spiritual protection - which we can see is accurate from her SYNK, as she's seen wielding a gun and a katana.

Her symbol reminds me of the Seal of Solomon and a Pentagram, and in her SYNK, Winter can be seen with a Pentagram ring. The pentagram above all else symbolizes spirit, and all the elements combined in unity (Fire, Air, Earth, Water) Creating the 5th point - Spirit. The pentagram (as I"m calling it here because that's what they're going for imho) is a well-known symbol of protection for many pagan faiths.

Winter's animal is the Siberian Husky - an animal that represents protection - tying into her symbol. As a totem animal, the Siberian Husky shows hard work, perseverance, magic and guardianship over those they watch over. It is said that the Husky also embodies the spirit of their ancestral Wolf.

Winters number is 44 - the number 44 in numerology is usually connected to accomplishing goals - 44 is considered to be the master healer number.

Karina

A heart, while it seems extremely straightforward, is also a symbol for creation and life itself. Which is fitting given her role as the oldest in Aespa.

Her animal, the whale symbolizes wisdom - also fitting as her role as the oldest. The whale as a totem animal means the person with said totem has the Knowledge and understanding of life, and on the opposite coin - death.

Karina's number - 24 in numerology is seen as harmonious - usually keeping harmony in a household. It is the number that is considered the most harmonious and has more positive vibrations than any other number

And if we add all their numbers together, 24, 44, 22, and 94 we get 184 - in numerology 184 is Securing a base for the future - in my eyes, I see this as Kwangya.

SM Really thought all this out imho.
