Belladonna Characters as the Zodiac Signs
The paperback of Belladonna hit shelves on July 25th, the best day ever (and I’m only a slightly impartial birthday girl) and in celebration I’ve put together the star signs of our favorite Thorn Grove residents…and beyond…and even the great beyond. We don’t know for certain all these characters star signs but it’s fun to zero in on their quirky traits. Plus, it’s almost Leo season so I’m doing what I want!
Aries
Percy Hawthorne
Bold, ambitious, a little hotheaded. Percy tends to leap before he looks, determined to get what he wants. Who can blame the first sign of the zodiac for wanting to be, well, first!
Taurus
Elijah Hawthorne
Strong, practical, maybe not as reliable as other Taurus individuals, but a bull nonetheless. Plus, a Taurus is known for enjoying the decadent aspects of life, which we know Elijah can’t deny.
Gemini
Lord Everett Wakefield
Her first glance at Lord Everett Wakefield and Signa loses her train of thought. Charismatic? Curious? Connected? He is all of the above.
Cancer
Signa Farrow
Signa’s birthday is technically in the spring but seeing as these crabs are known for their highly intuitive, almost psychic abilities, it seems only fitting that Signa might be born under Cancer. Plus, Cancers will do whatever it takes to protect themselves, with that hard shell and all.
Leo
Blythe Hawthorne
Elijah describes Signa’s mother Rima as “like the sun. All wanted to be near her. But those who ventured too close? They would burn. [She] did what she wanted without apology, and she was beautiful for it.” And then he goes on to say Blythe reminds him of Rima. Sounds like two Leos to me!
Virgo
Byron Hawthorne
Virgos aren’t boring per se, they’re just logical, practical, and determined to get stuff done. They’re diligent and consistent. Byron might not be the warmest character, but he’s definitely leaning towards some Virgo tendencies.
Libra
Death
Libra is literally represented by scales. And as Death reminds Signa, “Life and death is a game of balance. A balance that must always be maintained.”
Scorpio
Sylas Thorly
Why do I always picture Scorpios as dark and brooding? I know plenty that aren’t. But since that’s just what I envision, plus being driven, stubborn, slightly obsessive, Sylas is our Scorpio. AND water signs use and channel the emotions around them so…I mean no spoilers but once you get it, you get it.
Sagittarius
Lillian Hawthorne
Lillian is on a quest for knowledge. Or rather, she kind of has the knowledge, and she’s dead, but even as a spirit she’s determined to impart the knowledge of what happened to her and uncover all the truths. Plus when she was alive, she was eager, enthusiastic, and always got her way. Total Sagittarius.
Capricorn
Marjorie Hargreaves
Capricorns are known for their dedication to their chosen task. They can be strategic and patient, but always ambitious. Marjorie has her flaws, but no one could ever say she wasn’t patient, and determined to create the best life possible.
Aquarius
Charlotte Kilinger
Aquarians are the most humanitarian and are quite sensitive creatures. Charlotte might not exhibit the stereotypical rebellious tendencies of the water bearer, but she doesn’t always go along with the crowd and she cares, if not quietly, for those close to her.
Pisces
Thaddeus Kipling
“A spirit tethered to life by its desire to read!” Pisces are creative, imaginative, and intuitive. They absorb all the lessons and knowledge of preceding signs and are known for also having psychic tendencies. Thaddeus is determined to gain as much knowledge as possible and considering his ability to um, get inside others thoughts, Pisces seems the perfect fit.
