Quite a while back, Senshuu (of the gorgeous website Senshuu.com) asked me if I’d like to participate in the Webcomic Tarot project. I was flattered to be personally invited, and I thought it sounded like a fun idea. Since I got in fairly early, I got to pick which card I wanted, and fortunately the card I had in mind was still available.
My submission isn’t finished just yet, but since I love you all so much I’ll give you a sneak preview:
Can you guess which card she represents? ;D
Temperance?
Yes. I second that. Looks like Temperance.
The Priestess, presumably.
Her “throne” is a toilet. XD
That’ll be a lot more clear in the finished piece, hopefully. And the water above her head was meant to show this, but the card is Temperance. When I looked up the usual symbolism for this card, I found:
“An angel (often female or genderless), a pool or river of water. Two cups or beakers, a fluid flowing between them. ”
I thought that suited Gabrielle very well. ;D
I got a bit carried away with giving her extra arms to hold her business card and the pregnancy test. XD; Since the card was going to represent the entire webcomic as well, I wanted to throw as many references in as possible. =)
The Empress? She’s on a throne, after all.
hmm, temprance comes to mind due to the water but also the world and high priestess
I would have said “The Empress”. (Escaflowne fangirl here!)
It’s look a bit like goddess Kali.

You’re the first to comment on the Hindu influence! Kali is one of my favorite Hindu goddesses, but Gabrielle’s influence comes more from Lakshmi. XD
