The term crest is employed in literature with a rich variety of meanings, ranging from a literal peak or summit to an emblematic marker of identity and honor. In heraldic contexts, crest denotes an ornamental device or charge—such as a monkey statant or a hound’s head—that crowns a coat of arms and signifies noble lineage and rank ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]). At the same time, the word evokes images of physical and natural high points, whether describing the top of a hill or the crest of a wave, thus adding a dynamic layer to narrative settings ([7], [8], [9], [10]). In some literary moments, crest also carries metaphorical weight, symbolizing the pinnacle or downfall of a character’s spirit ([11], [12]).
