Miroque, one thing before I forget. Would you mind if I a small ret-con to V's<em>arcane mark</em>? Because, like heraldry, these are supposed to be unique to an individual, and only K has the right to the Harkess arms of a red hawk on a white (or pale skin, in this case) field. As V's now made the last step into adulthood and out of her brother's household (marriage is an explicit statement of founding her own house with Aren and raise the children of their union in the ways of her society), she also declares the differencing of her arms to establish the new Harkess cadet family.<br/><br/>Here's an option: the Harkess hawk is displayed, ie its wings and feet spread in a symmetrical pose with the head facing its right (or forward when the shield is carried in the left hand). You make yours face sinister (to its left and facing forward when a lefty uses his shield in his right hand), you could change the pose to a side view, with one or both either limb showing (there are specific names for each combination) or a sinister side view, etc. Anything, as long as it isn't a head on, symmetrical view showing both wings, both feet and the head facing its right will difference her arms. This way, we keep the basic description of red hawk on white (or pale chest, in your first use of your own "name").<br/><br/>Another option might add a wolf related device in honor of Aren and show his elevated status and the house they're making together. Also, by coming into V's house, he would now use her arms if he hadn't earned his own (as V might be expected to do if she was married off to another noble or a royal cadet and thus came into his house).<br/><br/>Whatever you decide it looks like, the heralds name the badge Harkess Victory.
