Vale eventually falls, and Velvet and her team move to Shade Academy in Vacuo to complete their training. When Vale is attacked by Cinder Fall's Faction and the terrorist group known as the White Fang, Cinder hacks the security Atlesian Paladin-290 robots, and Velvet steps in with Anesidora to defend her friends, using hard-light copies of her friends' weapons Crescent Rose, Myrtenaster, Ember Celica, Gambol Shroud, Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang, Magnhild, Floating Array, and Gianduja. Upon returning to Vale, Velvet photographs some more weaponry, building up her data more. Later, Velvet went on a mission to the settlement of Lower Cairn to protect the survivors of a Grimm attack, but failed. After using a weapon, Velvet loses it until she can photograph it again.Īnesidora is first seen during the Grimm breach of Vale, where Velvet attempts to use it to battle the invading Grimm, but her teammate Coco Adel advises her not to "waste it". Anesidora can store an unlimited amount of weapon data at a time, but the weapons' duration depend on the amount of Dust available. When producing weaponry, they appear as light blue, wire-frame models.Īnesidora can photograph different weapons, and then use Hard-Light Dust to replicate the weapon in a physical form for Velvet to use in conjunction with her ability-copying Semblance. The front of the lens cap has Velvet's emblem on it, and the flash disk on top retracts into the camera. The New Book of Goddesses and Heroines, “Pandora”.ī, “ The Greek Myth of Pandora“.Anesidora appears as a brown camera with gold trim, resembling a single-lens reflex camera with the lens of a plate camera. Thus when ‘Pandora’s box’ – the womb – is opened, we are born into our trials and even our death, though women continue to hold hope within us” (p. This pithos symbolized the earth mother’s womb, in which the dead were placed in fetal position to await rebirth. Originally the ‘box’ was a pithos, an earthware jar used to store food and to bury the dead. Yet even this late story has symbolic overtones that point to Pandora’s earlier identity with the earth mother.
Only one being, the hope Goddess Spes, remained in the box to comfort us.
But, too curious to obey, She did so, and all the evils that afflict humanity escaped to run rampant through the world. Gifted with all talents, the most beautiful creature imaginable, She was given a box and instructed never to open it. Later, as Greek society changed, She became the evil Eve of their legend, the one who brought all sorrow to earth. She was also called Anesidora (‘sender-forth of gifts’) and shown as a gigantic woman rising from the earth while little men opened Her way with hammer-blows. Patricia Monaghan states: “Originally was ‘rich in gifts,’ the ‘all-giver’, the earth in female form, endlessly producing food for people and animals the name may have been a title of the Greek Gaia. (Patricia Telesco, “365 Goddess: a daily guide to the magic and inspiration of the goddess”.) The token for hope, however, in the tradition of Pandora, never leaves the box, so that will always be part of your home.” When a wish is fulfilled, carry the corresponding token to keep that energy with you or give it to someone who needs that specific vibration in their life. Decorate the exterior lavishly and leave it in a special place with a candle that you can light briefly each day. Also place therein one object, herb, or stone to represent hope (basil and amethyst are two good choices). Fill it with special cloth and trinkets that represent your goal(s). In keeping with this tradition, with a uniquely magical twist, make a special wish box for yourself or your family today. This is how we come by the tradition of Christmas bonuses! Unlike modern connotations of putting away boxes, the name for this holiday, Boxing Day, came from the old custom of tradespeople and servants carrying boxes today to receive gratuities. And even when the evils of the world threaten, let us not forget that Pandora’s box still, and always, holds hope.
Unlike the later associations with Pandora, this Goddess’s name means ‘all-giver’ or ‘sender of gifts’. “Pandora’s themes are hope, prosperity and wishes.
