Verde Florentino/Behind the Scenes

Character Basis
Verde alludes to Gerda from Hans Christian Anderson's story ''The Snow Queen. ''This allusion has had the following influences on the character:
 * Loris and Verde being identical twins is a nod to the heavy mirror theme in the story, as twins are "mirror images" of each other.
 * Roses are used as a symbol for the connection between the two protagonists of the story; this is where Verde' plant theme derives from.
 * The story is about Greta going to save Kay because of her devotion to him. Verde goes on a similar journey to save their twin for the same reason.
