so cristabel is a nun, described as a religious fanatic by augustine, someone who clearly knew that suicide is a unforgivable sin and yet, she did it twice.

the house founded as a monument to her is “eight for salvation no matter the cost”. a house known for soul syphon and procreation to offer the children as juice boxes, things that would be considered heinous by christians.

the last head of said house is also a religious fanatic and can be easily associated with the concept of a fake prophet, for the lies he tells callum as he tries to convince him that what they’re doing is right and for his claims about knowing the truth regarding gideon’s mom.

and lastly the founder of the house, mercymorn the first. an atheist pre-resurrection. someone who betrayed god and destroyed his body in an attempt to kill him after grieving her bestie for a myriad.

grief in christianity is represented by the black people wear at funerals. mercymorn lived her entire lyctorhood in grief and yet, the color of the eighth house is white.
