## aranea quirks B, kankri quirks B/O, porrim quirks O

I didn’t have Porrim in mind when I thought up the 8B/0O numerology, but I can think of a couple ways it could apply.

As the Maid of Space, Porrim is connected with Aradia as the Maid of Time. Her O’s being followed by a + sign contrasts with Aradia writing her 0′s with a strike through them (and often following them with dashes, as in 0_0). Her intimate relationship with Aranea acts as a Beforan reflection of Aradia and Vriska’s deadly rivalry.

An association between Porrim and the letter O also makes me think of something I hadn’t considered in-depth before, which is the connection between a black hole and an opening or womb. Visual similarities between the Reckoning (and the Rapture by extension) and sperm cells approaching an ovum are widely recognised; the Dead Cherub using Earth C as an egg or chrysalis from which she is born again follows on from this same symbol.
