- In this video I will speculate a little bit about the meaning of the tapestry that you can find in Elise's house. Please keep in mind this is merely my personal interpretation and does not necessarily represent canon material.

I have a theory about the tapestry actually. The game leads us to believe that one girl receives the red shoes and then she chooses the good company as the sacrifice, but there is a golden maiden with red shoes that mentions specifically that she became the sacrifice, even though she received the shoes. Also in one of Rozenmarines endings she is the one who sacrifices Elise. I believe the tapestry may be a reference to that, a girl who did not want to make a deal with Ozzy and ended up being sacrificed. And i think maybe she is surrounded by a fence to represent Ozzys control of the situation, so she was destined to die anyway and he probably started controlling her life since before she even realized.
@genesispaulaandreagonzalez9890 That would certainly explain why these women are represented as unicorns, since they actually are pure and innocent and just end up being victims. Definitely an interesting idea!
I always thought that Elise represented the unicorn. Unlike walpurga who was implied to be Alive at one point to interact with humans way back when, Elise symbolically throughout the game is alluded to fertility. When any of the love interest are given up Elise has Twins. She herself mentions that fate had it out for her.
It’s interesting that Ozzy was interested in making a contract with her. Why not anyone eles. If Elise isn’t in love with Freya or Lebkuen she lives an ordinary life. She never makes a contribution in her own way other than supporting someone else.
Ozzy can only make something out of the deal by turning her into a princess and having children of noble blood, because if Ozzy were to posses one of them he could run the human settlements.
But there were previous girls who made there contract who don’t seem to be like Elise getting hooked with a prince/prince/count.
Originally I thought that Ozzy was in love with Elise. In pocket mirror he mentions it’s a shame that she refused to join him.
And to Goldia he was very hostile towards, she acts like little miss goody two shoes but she ain’t the real deal. Elise no matter how stubborn she was, was always trying to do the right thing, but it never amounted to anything so she turned into a bad apple.
I’m not sure if Ozzy was in love with Elise but that was once my thoughts on the two of them.
In the bonus gallery in pocket mirror the two of them are seen exchanging the forbidden fruit.
As for the ring in the Middle Ages marriage wasn’t actually done out of love but served as a legal obligation. A contract.
People were engaged because they needed something from one another. Royal bloodline only stayed in the upper class to maintain and keep power out of the hands of commoners.
Basicly rich folks who own bussniess don’t want some newbie to outshine them.
there's also a clear hint to Walpurga dying from Ozzy's deed: being incomplete due to losing a fragment of her soul, her very existence is at stake. plus, it hit her hard that Ozzy and his goons misused her sacret forest for establishing their private domains in her forest. and to top it all, Ozzy created Elise from her soil and soul fragment, but Walpurga wasn't allowed to raise Elise. nope, a stranger human woman would raise Elise. damn, no wonder Walpurga was so pissed. .
@phoneguy463 I just find Walpurgas transformation kind of creepy. How she may have been a innocent and lovely forest spirit who took care of her woodland and her worshippers and then after Ozzy came she turned into this Elise hunting, manipulative monstrosity, not unlike the demons. In that case Ozzy wielding a sledgehammer that knocked the sense out of her would have been more fitting than a bow ^.^
I also thought that this tapestry may have something to do with Holle's secret lover but the game really gives no clues about her good company. So I kind of gave up on it.
@@Rhentsi thank you for responding so quickly. you are welcome anytime. well, I kinda feel you about Holle's secret lover. the game is in fact extremely vague about that. however! there is one golden maiden you can encounter in a satanic replica of Elise's house. this very golden maiden is none other than Granny Holle. not only does she mention Elise's emerald brooch, she also mentions an affair "favored by god". well, I'd suggest that this means she had a male lover no one knew about. this affair turned sour when Holle couldn't become pregnant and bear a child of her own. I'd furtherly suggest she kept it a secret from him out of shame. and then Ozzy told her that she had to sacrifice him if she wanted a child so badly. oh well... looks like Holle wanted it really... BADLY...
@@Rhentsi oh, about the tapestry and Ozzy's bow: it might well be a metapher for him stealing a fragment of her soul, literally hurting Walpurga in the process. however, I don't believe Ozzy and Walpurga were lovers themself. I think Ozzy simply offered her something precious and powerful in exchange for her womb. of course she would sent him back to tracks. she's a fairy, not a "red-light-maiden" (if you get me draft...). material things have no value to her. but Ozzy knows only riches and currencies (like a typical aristocrat the he is...). her refusal didn't make him happy. so one thing lead to another...
@phoneguy4637 "Our union was favored by the Lord himself, yet my inability to bear a child drove a wedge between us" is what Holle told Elise. Favored by the Lord himself kind of sounds like she was married which means their relationship would arguably not be unknown to others. Which makes it rather weird that no one ever talks about her husband. Also how would Holle even pull through with the deal? She would walk into the forest with her husband, sacrifice him, get Elise and walk back to Kieferberg like "Hey guys my husband just died in the forest but I found a baby there, craaaaaaaazy day right?". I'm pretty sure that's the fastest way to get burned on a stake as a witch o.o
Given that there are quite a few parts of the game that seem rushed and unfinished I actually just believe they didn't have the time to flesh out both Holle's story and that of the witch Walpurga. I mean the witch is kind of the main antagonist for the first half of the game but if you play the canon end she just disappears after Wednesday for no reason. So at this point I would just conclude incomplete game design which seems reasonable given that the devs seemed to have a lot of delays thanks to corona.
@@Rhentsi I mostly go d'accord with you. however: yeah, the not-mentioning of Holle's husband is one big plot hole indeed. but that's why I believe that Holle may have had a secret lover or fiancé. but Holle is not the only mother figure with a omitted backstory: let's look at Rozenmarine's mother. she was burnt as a witch, despite having a baby. or should I say: because of her baby. at those times, you were burnt as a witch if you got pregnant without a lover, pregnant from adultery or when you murdered your husband after having a child with him. in the case of Rozenmarine's mother I'd dare say she sacrificed her husband after Ozzy made her wish come true and she was caught red-handed by the townspeoples. In Holle's case I dare stay true to my suspicion she kept her lover a secret.
thank you SO much for this video! I love this game and I find the tapestry intriguing, too. I believe the story is also a reference to granny Holle and her secret lover she would later sacrifice for her later baby.
What are the times where a different tapestry appears? I tried to screenshot them but they don't appear
