As of her time in HG!, Tertia was definitely Queen of Pentacles, though stuck a bit in the reversed meaning of the card. Positively, she did know the meaning of hard work and perseverence, and was confident, practical, and even kind in her own uptight way. What hung her up was a fear of losing everything that she earned through hard work, especially through the magic of sexism. She also tended to care too much about work and her future and not enough about enjoying the present, and she also really isolated herself from others and had trouble reaching out for help. In interpreting her for Hera, I wanted to address the bad press that Hera gets as being a giant defensive mechanism on her part - the mythical Hera had no one to trust, and in the same way, Tertia was afraid to share her dreams and ambitions with others for fear that they'd betray it in the end.

The plan was that she'd eventually graduate up into anEmpress, cause lol Hera. She would have been able to be very successful in her business ambitions without feeling the need to steamroll everyone, or to feel fear that other people just wanted to take advantage of her. I like to think that she would have evened out her anger issues after the course of the story, yet not have relinquished any of her enjoyment of being the queen of the neighborhood.

I would really like to bring back Tertia at some point <3 I'll be sure to let you know if I see any games that would be appropriate for the both of us!
