Crusader Shield Explanation My crusader shield has four sections that represent my family, home, allegiance, and religion if I were a Crusader. In the top left of my shield is a leopard which represents my family. I used a leopard because leopards show agility and I always thought of my family as being agile when it comes to going into certain things. This leopard is has a pink and purple coat because it shows that my family can be very different from other families. I also thought that a purple and pink leopard would look pretty cool. In the bottom left section of my shield there is a picture of myself. This corner shows my allegiance but I was not too sure who I should put so I drew a picture
