So if the Doe is Rachel's spirit and the blue butterfly is Chloe then what is Max's spirit animal...the squirrel?

I know these have probably been asked before but im 2 years late to the LIS party and have many questions

[Jackalope_908]

I found it hard to decide who was what, since Max wears the Jane Doe shirt, but the spirit doe leads Max to this place or that the way Rachael might have wanted. Or Rachael could have been the butterfly, since it sorta represents Max's powers. And then the blue bird that Max deals with at Chloe's house, is THAT anyone... Pfft, Warren? Kate? ...........Alyssa?

The spirit creature of Maxine caulfield is the doe and the spirit creature of Rachel Amber is the doe. You can have the same spirit-creature of someone else. Samuel tells us the spirit creature of Max is the doe.

Chloe's spirit animal is the Raven

That makes sense from a BtS point of view....but if that is true then what is the blue butterfly?

"Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life."

Also viewed as a wish granter.

It could pretty much represent anyone in LiS or the thing that actually granted Max her power.

Edit: I always associated the blue butterfly as Rachel's soul/spirit.

Butterflies are too known to be poisonous because them eat toxic plants and travels long distances. I don't think we ever get an answer unless a dev of the game tells us something else. It would make sense the butterfly is Max spiritcreature because it symbols her power and it only shows up at critical locations.

The doe was at Rachel's buried place and the Butterfly shows up in the bathroom where Max is standing by the time of the event.

I think most people think the butterfly is in there, because of the Butterfly Effect from Chaos Theory (The actual theory, not the episode).

Well they confirmed that the Doe max sees is meant to be Rachel. I'm uncertain if they stated anything regarding the butterfly.

What I think (and it's just my theory) is this: Max and Rachael are both does, Kate is the rabbit (although I believe it as a misrepresentation because most ppl view rabbits as docile and innocents, but if you ever delat with any you'll know they can get really fierce when cornered, unlike Kate) and Chloe is actually both the raven and the blue butterfly.

In BtS her spirit animal is the raven, but between there and LiS, she "morphs" into the butterfly. It follows her transitions in life, the way she feels and evolves make it so her spirit animal changes over time. In BtS she's all out, rebelling against a world that abandoned her as she discovers her true self by mostly making bad decisions that makes her seen mostly as a "bad omen" roaming around everybody else.

By the time we get to LiS she got wounded even more by the loss of Rachael but lost the "fire of rebellion" that was inside her, that last stab mostly draining her and leaving her mostly with the desperate energy spent to try and find Rachael. At that point, all that's left for someone (Max) to see is the beautiful blue butterfly that wants to shine a bit now that it left the cocoon of hatred it once had for the time it has and be appreciated by kind eyes and wishes to say "Look at me! I'm l'm lovely too! And fragile and alone, please be delicate!"

I mean after all, she does forgive Max in like 5 minutes at the beggining of LiS so she's not as angry as she used to be.

I just hope I made my point clear enough, those things are kinda hard to explain :)

Careful, talking about BtS is spoiler territory. ^_~

People with that viewpoint have never watched Watership Down then.

DO watch it, but uh... it is NOT a happy movie. Screen it before showing the kids, certainly.

Dave III is correct.
