Scarlet, symbols to represent characters

Within the book Scarlet the main character Scarlet can be symbolized by leather because it is both hard and soft. The hard because it cannot be easily penetrated by things and tends to be used as a protective item, Scarlet heavily guards her emotions and builds up a "wall" or creates a "shell" around herself so that people can't get in, she rarley lets her guard down. The soft is because some people use the leather as a blanket type thing to keep them warm and it also can take on many different shapes, when Scarlet actually lets her guard down then she becomes a happy, cheerful, kind person but she can also put on many phasauds when she is around different new people. 

Wolf, the street fighter/ bad boy can be represented by an oversized teddy bear because they might be intimidating at first but really they are shy and are big softies. Wolf is also a protector, which large teddy bears can seem like they can proctect you when you are little, so this is another reason that he can be represented by a teddy bear. He tries to protect Scarlet on many occasions eventhough he might end up being the one that hurts her the most in the end. 

Cinder, who was the main character from the previous book in the series, Cinder, is a Swiss Army knife because she is very versitaile and can be a huge advantage to whoever a team she is fighting for. She can also think on her feet as well as function without any problems. Cinder has many different sides to her just like the knife has many different types of tools.
