I am slipping and behind sharing art evenly on my socials, time to get the rest of the Frieren flower set here! This time we're here with Stark!
For Stark here, I used three main flowers.
The first and largest is the coneflower, a large member of the daisy family. It has associations with medicine and healing to native Americans, sometimes called elk root. Their other name, Echinacea, comes from their spiny center, using the Greek word 'ekhinos', which means sea urchin or hedgehog. It holds meanings of strength, wellness, health. The red coneflower, in particular, can also mean passion or assertiveness and was used to declare love or relationships. They attract Bees and butterflies and can endure even droughts and fires.
From the same family of flowers I also included some Black-Eyed Susans. This hardy flower is highly adaptable and grows all year round. The symbolize encouragement, motivation and resilience, which went well with Stark's training. They can also mean justice, which fits with his need to be stronger after demons destroyed his village. The name Black-Eyed Susan comes from a poem of a woman who cried her eyes black looking for her lover, and is about a long earned reunion.
Lastly, the small white flowers are Valerian. From the literal Latin valere meaning to be strong and healthy, the meaning is unsurprising. They are also known to help with anxiety, fatigue, and aches. Aside from strength and health, it symbolizes readiness & awareness of what is to come. Sometimes, it is given to show loyalty or faith, or the want for that to grow.

Not Madhouse having some pro animators doing simple hand wringing the likes of which has never been seen on screen. And then the weight of Stark's coat and later when Fern yeets hers...
Incredible.
That entire POV. Imagine sitting in a room and being paid to brainstorm that entire series of event?
I'm also thrilled by the way they aren't sacrificing small things for the sake of battle. It's bonkers we can have a fight this good that retains character moments like Fern's delicate stepping aside because she's way ahead of poor Lugner.
His cold and succint analysis of the situation was really superb lol He realised exactly where their differences lay and why he was getting owned.
