Re: Your Narnian Coat of Arms

Hmm... I don't know about myself; I've just been thinking recently about the coats of arms I would give Narnian characters and my original characters, but it didn't occur to me to think of my own!
Lily's comment reminded me that there was a theory floating around about one side of our family being descendants of a medieval noble family, but it turns out it was just a rumour. But now I looked them up, anyway; their coat of arms was a yellow (gold?) field with two crossed... things. When you cut off the branches from a tree, leaving stumps, and then use that as a ladder. Because that's a thing in Czech heraldry. I rather like the yellow (although I otherwise like blue & white), but I think I'd drop the tree-ladders, especially seeing as I actually can't claim that coat of arms!
Blue, white and yellow something? I like that combination. I'll have to figure something out. I'd like a marmot, on principle, but I think it would not work very well as a heraldic charge...
