Wom Path) have bestowed this name upon her main character? In what way does the name fit

the person who bears it?

Answer and Explanation:

Phoenix can be compared to the bird Phoenix in Egyptian mythology, which burns itself and changes into ashes and again recreates new life.

Phoenix Jackson, as a character, can be seen as the epitome of what the phoenix symbolizes which are hope, security, and a promise for the futur and Her journey is reminiscent of the legend of the phoenix; she goes through many changes and overcomes the obstacles that await her, she sometimes behaves in a way we would equate with an animal, and even in her appearance we can find similarites.
