I read the Tarot definition of "Queen of Swords", and it describes Samara perfectly. It's uncanny.
Looked it up for myself...yeah, pretty interesting!
"I am the Queen of Swords and this is my tale.
I have high expectations for my children. Equally high are my ideals for the people of my kingdom.
It takes a certain rigidity to face the gravity of my
responsibilities. This kingdom of Swords is often a place of conflict.
I wield my intelligence and discernment to gain justice.
And justice is my aim. I am no stranger to the darker sides of
the human mind. I know how errant thought can bring about weakness,
scandal and rot in a society. My watchful eye is vigilant.
I have a gift in seeing all injustice and dishonesty, even if it is a faint flicker on the horizon. I view corruption in others as a personal assault. Thus, I will root it out, extinguish it and will have order restored.
As the Queen of Swords I must hold myself with high dignity. I demand compliance for the better good of the kingdom, and I will be respected in my authority.
The reward for loyalty is my kindness. And, those who are in my favor are among the most honored in my realm.
It is my nature to be kind, although I do not have the
luxury of revealing this facet. In my position, showing softness is
considered a sign of weakness, and I must always gird myself, remaining
regal and strong to my subjects.
As the Queen of Swords, my station is a lonely one. However, I am accustomed to solitary. Indeed, my isolation has caused me to be extremely independent.
Because of my independence, I rarely seek counsel from outside parties. I trust my own intuition implicitly. I am rarely wrong about my instincts.
When I am not governing or consumed with the responsibilities of my family and subjects, I spend my time in academia. A sharp and trained mind is a sign of a well-developed and skilled woman.
One of my children once commented that I seem distant and sad.
This cut me to the core. Truth be known, deep beneath my waters moves
an unbridled heart, filled with passion and sensitivity. To be sure, my waters run deep.
But the warmth of my love must often be cooled in the face of my
duties and obligations. If, having a streamlined, organized and effective rule means trading a bit of emotion for austerity - so be it. As the Queen of Swords, I cannot compromise.
My advisors have told me that in my elderly years I will be able
to devote more attention to the softer aspects of living that churns
within me. Until then, the tending of the gardens of my tenderness will
have to wait. For now, being the Queen of Swords permits nothing to
prohibit the proper rearing of my children and kingdom.
I have dark hair with equally dark eyes. I am told I am
beautiful, but I give this little attention unless it serves me in royal
negotiations. I have noticed I have a strong jaw bone (mirroring my
strong will). I tend to be heavy-set, but this is to my advantage
because it gives me more presence. I seem larger than life when I walk
into a room. My presence is such, people would be compelled to bow to
me even if I were not queen.
Should I visit you in the cards, I will tell you get your affairs in order. Set about organizing your thoughts. Untidiness, disorder of any kind is unacceptable.
The time for play and farce is after the tasks at hand is
accomplished. You may balk at my austere ways, but I tell you, they are
effective in results. Further, my tactics, although forceful, always
command respect."
