Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords holds a clear and independent line. She tells facts apart from projections, and names things without trying to soften them.

The queen sits facing forward on her throne, the sword held upright in one hand. Her gaze goes straight ahead, towards whoever comes up to her level, without turning away.
Clarity gains when it stays human: naming the fact, then saying what it stirs in you, holds a firm position without denying the tender part.
Distance protects and closes in: you sort instead of listening, and the queen whose gaze fixes a point nobody reaches ends up alone.
RWS. Queen of Swords. The butterflies on the back of the throne are an emblem of air: that detail of the English game ties the figure to breath more than to the blade.
Name the fact first, then say what you feel, in that order, without mixing the two sentences or backing away from the second.
