Magia Record Description
The Doppel of manipulation. Its form is needles. The master of this emotion has vowed absolute loyalty to her savior. It penetrates enemy and master alike with sharp needles, sewing the fate of all things tight. This act represents its extreme devotion, such that it offers up everything, including its life to its benefactor, while symbolizing the perilousness of its dependence upon the other, which it cannot maintain its identity without. The sharper the needles are, the more the stitches there are, and the harder it becomes to extricate oneself from it. However, this merely serves as an expression of the master's desire.
Trivia

- Though "Margot Garden" might be a reference to the artwork Spring: Margot Standing in a Garden by Mary Cassatt.
- Latria is a Latin word that means "adoration". The word has religious significance.
- Latria may be a reference to the Grim Reaper due to how she composes of multiple bodies and due to the scythes on her arms. The multiple torsos are significant due to how the Grim Reaper is said to harvest souls at the time of a death.
- Also Latria's eye in her hat may be a reference to the infamous 'evil eye' who is said to have been a glare that witches would have used to curse people.
