A study of this month artist I'm obsessed with: Rinotuna! It only worked decently on Abel though before it went downhill..

This is the main cast, which branch they belong to and their respective branch's tattoo! The concept of them started out as some kind of crime-organization/mafia-esque family structure and assassins, that's why the animals should have some association with "death". On the other hand, the animals also reflect them as characters and the struggles they might face.

Ex: snakes in fabels are portrayed as sly and cunning -> Benny and Lucy are not above dirty tricks.

The inspo for scorpions comes from "The Scorpion and the Frog" which basically portrays the scorpion being "bound by its nature", stinging the frog despite its own interest because "the urge to sting lies in its nature". As for how this reflects on the the Scorpion Branch -> since their most important asset is their body, their main purpose would be to serve with their bodies. So Abel, who is Lulu's bodyguard, struggles with self-preservation and would forsake his own life to shield Lulu with his body and in his own words, "act as a meatshield".

I could ramble on forever (and I will ramble about them some more in another post to not completely drown u with everything at once), but it'd be fun to hear how u guys interpret the cast based on what u associate with those animals!
