Description Pride is my absolute favorite because this is certainly the embodiment of me. I may not show it but it exists and pervades in me.

His clothes in this one is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion. I don't mean to brag but I really like his fashion in this one. I also love the content within this one as well. You yourself can make you happy.

Pride surrounds a king who has the utmost confidence he can overrule the world with ease. Not true for every king, but Krappy. He's still a child at heart, hence his balloons. Even his lone king on the board is tied with a balloon taking him from danger and eventually on cloud nine. Krappy has a mirror tucked in his cloak definitely for vanity reasons, but also to show the arcane figure whom he is playing against and who is also agitated by Krappy's method of stratedgy.

Yes, the balloons are a little weird but they are colored that way for a reason. The chessboard was meant to have all the pieces placed in a way where anywhere the Krappy's king went, he would have been checked, but balloons make sure that doesn't happen. The Earth is a little shook up and full of hurricanes but what does Krappy care, he's got himself and that's all that matters to him.

Without pride, how could you stand tall and love yourself?
