A crowned woman sits on a throne carved with lions, holding a wand in one hand and a sunflower in the other. A black cat sits at her feet.
Queens carry their suit inwardly. Fire turned inward becomes confidence and warmth rather than hurry. Sunflowers face the sun, and lions suggest courage worn lightly.
