Okay so we all know that the Foretellers are named after 5 of the Seven Deadly Sins. But they seem to have other symbolism related to a specific interpetation
The Foretellers an their Unions are assocated with an Animal. Ava's animal theme is Foxes, Invi's is Snakes, Gula's are leopards, Ira's are Unicorns and Aced are Bears
Now these animals and the associated Sin come from some old text currently called the Ancrene Wisse, so I think I found a web page that shad some light on the sins as depicted there
The odd one out is Gula, but the rest of the Foretellers seem to match the Passage quoted here. If this trend continues then Xehanort's Keyblade would not be associated with the Foretellers, their master and the 6th apprentice. On the other hand, Gula sets a precedent for a Goat to replace the Scorpion or Lion (especially given the latter's redundancy). Or that there exists a 7th apprentice (unlikely but possible) with the Master of Masters wielding the Goatblade.
What do you guys' think?

The wilderness is the solitary life of the anchoress's dwelling, for just as in the wilderness there are all the wild beasts, and they will not endure men coming near but flee when they hear them, so should anchorites, above all other women, be wild in this way, and then they will be desirable, above other women, to Our Lord. ...
In this wilderness are many evil beasts: the lion of pride, the snake of poisonous envy, the unicorn of anger, the bear of dead sloth, the fox of covetousness, the sow of gluttony, the scorpion with the tail of stinging lechery, that is, lust.
