As with Pixie, you got three, so I will be a bit briefer <3
TOFFEE - THE FOOL/THE SUN
Toffee's Representative card is the Fool. Of course, the Fool does not indicate an idiot, but rather someone who has yet to see and understand the world. They have no shortage of trust, both in the goodness of the world and in people, and the idea that they are capable of doing anything they set their mind on doing, no matter what they are told. The Fool doesn't work conventionally though, and on their way from A to B, they might wander through V and N and D just for the hell of it. There is a strange sort of wisdom and genius to how this person operates, though they still have plenty to learn about the world.
Her Growth card is Strength. I picked this because it does highlight what Toffee could learn to be even a stronger person than she is now. She gets by with being blunt and direct, but there will be times when that is taken aggressively, and not as innocence. Strength suggests that she should learn tact and apply her charms of kindness in a way that she can hold her own without compromising the wishes of others, like her father. It is also about applying the power of one's heart to solve outside conflicts, which will be relevant once she gets to know the outside world better XD
VAIKO - KING OF CUPS/KING OF SWORDS
The King of Cups is the card that best represents Vaiko. I have to mention that with Tarot cards, there is no 'absolute male/absolute female' cards, and that a King card does not always indicate a man. The King of Cups is a stable creature with her emotions under tight check - she can feel, and could do so very deeply, but unlike others she can keep reign on her heart. There is a definite calmness and generosity to her character, and also powers of diplomacy and coolness during crisis. Unfortunately, it is easy for the King of Cups to close herself off to others, and may withhold her emotions from other people as a protective mechanism.
Because that shut-off is clearly where she has gone in development, her current Growth is dominated by the King of Sword, a master who relies on knowledge, power, and stern power over others in order to keep control over her private realm. While the King of Swords has the same powers of perception that the King of Cups does, there is no feeling of tenderness and generosity left, and this King is out to protect himself. But he wields a double-bladed sword, one side intended for the enemy, but the other side fated could land as easily in the face of an ally.
TASHA - HIEROPHANT/KNIGHT OF SWORDS
It seems strange, but to me, the card that closest to being Tasha's Representative is the Hierophant. The Hierophant being a card you are familiar with, of course. When I think of Tasha, I do think of the Unmovable Object, which is very much how the Hierophant is. The Hierophant values tradition, order, and a Job Well Done, which I think are parts of what Tasha is, even if she wants to deny that part that she gets from her mother. The Hierophant may seem stern, but that hardness merely is a cover for compassion and insight. The Hierophant also takes very well to positions where she can be a teacher and guide to others.
Her Representative card is the Knight of Swords . She literately just rode into town, like the gallant hero the Knight of Swords is. Sharpness is the defining word when you are talking about the Swords, both intellectually and offensively. This is a time of a lot of power for her, but she has to be very careful of where her cutting is aimed - at her enemies, her allies, or herself?
ROIMATA - THE MAGICIAN/THE HERMIT
Roimata is Represented by the The Magician, and his Growth right now is dictated by the Hermit. He is actually moving through the Major Arcana on the Fool's journey (since the Fool in some interpretations is actually Orpheus), though his time of innocence and naivity is over, and he has learned enough mastery over his abilities to be a Magician. The Magician is the card that represents talent, being the Jack of All Trades and Master of All. He knows that skill and initiative is needed, and is not afraid to patiently apply himself to his art. He is a visionary, and spends his life taking the images and sounds flying around in his mind and transforming them into art.
While his Representative is in the Magician for now, his Growth has been taking a quicker progression through the Arcana. Though he passed through the others fairly quickly, he has been stuck at the Hermit since Adelita abandoned him. He has been living a largely friendless existence since then, and this is partly because he is still stuck in the deep introspection of wondering what he did wrong. He has a great control over himself, considering his age, but he's close to being too self-involved, and the Hermit is a bit of an overload given how sensitive his default nature is. I think soon he has to come to grips with the Wheel of Fortune as well, definitely during the time of the game. He is a guy who needs control over his life and emotions, and even the other people in his life to an extent, and he has to learn what it is like to have things out of control and forced to fate.
