What this card is
A young figure stands on a windy rise, sword held up in both hands, hair and clouds streaming sideways, feet planted but ready to turn at any moment. Alert and slightly restless, this is the mind that asks the obvious question everyone else has politely skipped. The card carries curiosity, fast learning and a certain bluntness — great energy for finding things out, not much patience for tact.
