'''Shield:''' <br>
'''Shield:''' <br>The use of bendy sable and argent represents a piano, which the armiger shares as a musical instrument with her grandfather. The bend sinister gules represents unorthodoxy, or heterodoxy, countering black and white thinking, represented by the use of sable and argent in the field. 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').▼
