Serenity asked Liesl Shurtliff:

1.why is your name your destiny 2.why did his mother die?

Liesl Shurtliff Hi Serenity! Thanks for your questions.

1. Your name is your destiny in the world of the book. I don't think anyone's name is their destiny in real life, though I do think names are meaningful and can have influence in our lives. Rump's story is more symbolic of that, not a realistic representation.
2. Rump's mother died through complications of childbirth as well as the curse that had bound her.

I hope that helps!
