What’s In a Motif? Part 8

On The Tenth Day of Fun I present... another addition in another series! Sorry for the graphics this time, but I’ll try to update it when I have a bit more time ^^

Peacocks (孔雀) - Kujaku Rarity: Uncommon Seasons: All What isn’t there to love about the enigmatic bird that is the definition of luxury and showing off? Peafowl have been farmed in Asia and around the world for centuries, as they’re surprisingly easy to care for and they don’t need to be killed to harvest their luxurious feathers! The male peafowl grows an entirely new set of tail feathers each year for mating purposes and sheds them at the end in order to grow an even larger set the following year. These feathers have become synonymous with beauty and power. Although known for their beauty, they are actually associated with Kanon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy for an entirely different reason: they eat snakes! Peafowl have long been kept for their ability to viciously kill snakes, especially poisonous ones, and protect their owners from harm. Because of this, they are symbols of protection and divinity ^^
