What this card is
She sits on a throne carved with lions, a sunflower in one hand and a staff in the other, a black cat at her feet staring straight out at you. She is warm and direct, the sort of person a room arranges itself around without her ever raising her voice. This card is about confidence rooted in self-knowledge rather than in approval. The cat is the private, unreadable part she keeps entirely for herself.
