Meeting the council in Aretia
Violet: Be myself? Brennan, I have one day to win everyone over. How long did it take for you guys to start liking me?
Bodhi: Couple of weeks.
Xaden: Six months.
Imogen: Jury’s still out on that one.
Violet: See, Brennan? “Be myself”. What kind of bullshit garbage advice is that?
Iron Flame
Xaden: Right, I’ve left you all written instructions for when I’m away this time.
Imogen: Mine says “no murder”.
Bodhi: Mine says “no fires”.
Violet: Mine just says “no”.

I'm rereading fourth wing and iron flame again so here are my thoughts on what each character's signet says about them as a person (spoilers for both books ahead):
Violet (lightning wielding): she is exactly as xaden calls her, violence. she's insanely stubborn and has quite a temper. she has a deep seeded need to defend the people and places that she cares about.
Xaden (shadow wielding): this one's easy because it's spelled out plainly by violet herself. xaden has secrets he needs to protect.
Xaden (intinnsic): signets often manifest based on need, and xaden's position as a revolutionary leader means that he needs to be able to make snap judgments about people and their intentions. he needs to know who he can trust.
Dain (memory reading): this one is also spelled out by violet. he's fucking nosy as shit.
Bodhi (signet countering): bodhi is often described as a more reasonable version of xaden. he's an incredibly neutral guy in most cases, and he's often the voice of reason during conflict.
Mira (ward building): she's a big sister, a protector. she can literally shield the people that she loves.
Brennan (mending): brennan is described as being an incredible tactician. he's a problem-solver. he fixes things. being a mender means he can not only heal people but literally fix objects.
Rhiannon (retrieving): i actually don't know if anyone has any ideas i'd love to hear them.
Ridoc (ice wielding): ridoc's signet is super interesting because it seems to directly oppose his fiery personality. my best guess is that it's because he's the comic relief who can cool people off during emotional moments.
Liam (farsight): he's super perceptive. there are multiple moments when he's able to gain unique insight on people and situations.
garrick (unknown): please rebecca give us more garrick moments we don't even know what his signet is i'm begging you.
