Seven is one of the card-shaped gardeners tasked with painting the roses red. His flat, oblong form and the number that identifies him make him part of the strange playing-card household, where even gardening takes on an air of ceremony and absurdity. The text gives him no separate personal history or later development.
Description
Seven is an oblong, flat figure shaped like a playing card, with the number seven marking his identity. He is seen painting roses red, the vivid red paint providing the clearest color associated with him. His cardlike body and purposeful, work-focused bearing distinguish him; further details of face, clothing, or coloring are not specified. Seven is a male playing-card gardener in a costume patterned like a card, identified by the number Seven. The text does not specify his facial features, coloring, height, or build. He is associated with a paintbrush and the work of coloring roses, and carries a hurried, apprehensive presence.
