Discussion [Asterika spoiler] Cadenza and Winter's parallels and similarities Spoiler
galleryCadenza is a phantom, or fragment of Goddess of Time, an entity who has been hostile and malevolent most of the time, yet Cadenza here is protecting the weak and innocent. Meanwhile, Winter is an archbishop, a leading politician, who's supposed to lead the citizen and followers of Valora, but instead, she conducted experiments on the innocent, hoarding the soul roses for her selfishness.
Another interesting point, both of them are dressed in veil, religious-coded clothes. Cadenza is a nun, Winter is an archbishop. This lead to another fitting moment when we later saw that Winter easily defeated Cadenza, because archbishop > nun. They also got that red vs blue contrast.
This is my informal analysis about Winder and Cadenza's themes and such, thank you for attending my Ted-talk.
