Papillon- (French for Black Butterfly) symbolizes freedom or a free man/woman. The Papillon represents breaking free from all societal mores and restrictions. There are no chains on the papillon, as they go where ever they want and do whatever they choose. A divorce or break up makes a person a papillon since one is no longer answerable to his/her former companion. Freeing oneself from a contract or debt makes a person a papillon because one is no longer bound to it.
