The Reverent

Picture:
A woman sits in profile at an old-fashioned writing desk, facing left. She is illuminating manuscripts with a small number of brushes and quills arranged neatly beside the texts themselves. The room is lit only by a single, half-spent candle and the starlight through the arched stone window on her right. At the moment she is staring out the window, away from us--either to the half-lit landscape far below or up into the cloudless night. Beneath her desk on the stone floor lie a few miscopied pages hidden in the shadows.
Standard Tarot Analogue: The High Priestess (2)
Song: "Galileo," by the Indigo Girls
Positive Influences:
The Reverent is introspective, reserved, and empathetic; she looks within herself to find answers. Although not out of touch with the world around her, she is self-sufficient and capable, choosing solitude for both practical and aesthetic reasons. Her quest is an internal one, and she approaches it with the quiet respect it is due.
Negative Influences:
The Reverent's cloister can be a lonely and difficult place. Her journey has no fewer surprises, pitfalls, or crises than those of the folk outside; but she cannot describe them adequately to anyone else. She is separate, sometimes distantly, from others--which means that she faces all of her perils alone.
