The purple fabric is a cloth embroidered with lightning that hangs from the Barrow’s door in Tuck. The fabric helps Mare identify her family’s bunk, but it also represents their willingness to accept her as she is. As she states, it is “neither Red nor Silver, but mine” (61), indicating that, despite her difference, her family welcomes and loves her.
