'''Shield:''' <br>
The '''use of bendy sable and argent''' represents a piano, which the armiger shares as a musical instrument with her grandfather. <br>
The '''bend sinister''' represents unorthodoxy, or heterodoxy, countering black and white thinking, represented by the use of sable and argent in the field. <br>
The '''chains''' is canting for the armiger's family name, but also represent law, which the armiger studies, and self-restraint in the face of excess. It also relates to this verse of Charles Baudelaire's 'Le Vampire': 'Infâme à qui je suis lié / Comme le forçat à la chaîne' ('To whom I'm linked / As is a convict to his chain').
'''Crest:''' <br>
The '''owl''' represents philosophy and measure, and the armiger's pseudonym,'Swooper'. <br>
Said '''owl is standing between two branches''', balancing out judicial authority represented by the '''axes terminating each branch'''. That same axe settles disputes ('tranche les litiges' in French). <br>
The '''chrysanthemums''' are some of the armiger's favourite flowers, present in large part for aesthetic reasons and to allude to the armiger's interest in Victorian flower language.

'''Blazon:''' A bat Sable holding a thunder bolt Or.
'''Symbolism:''' The '''bat''' is another 'Swooper' referencing the armiger's pseudonym itself reference to Lou Reed's song [https://genius.com/Lou-reed-andys-chest-lyrics ''Andy's Chest'']. The '''thunderbolt''' is since antiquity a symbol of authority and power showing the armiger's will to be the master of her own fate. said thunderbolt is also a representation of David Bowie's iconic bolt here used a reference to the entire genre of [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glam_rock Glam rock]. the '''overall badge''', beside being a representation of the armiger's passion for music, invokes a form of surreal imagery symptomatic of the artistic movement of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada Dadaism ] revolving back to the themes of ''Andy's Chest'' and unorthodoxy. By pure twist of fate 'Dada' so happens to be the childhood nickname of the armiger. The '''badge's form''' is a direct reference to the Roman ''Aquila'' making it a fitting rallying sign.
