I-Magician: Funnily enough, I was considering Jaune for this arcana, but sadly there aren't any other character that could fit on the Emperor. Thus, if I put Jaune as Magician, Yang as Strenght and so on, I would be missing the "troubled leader".

III-Empress: Fun Fact: Kathleen says that Glynda is a sexual goddess "She uses a riding crop! It's canon people." So, there's more going for her on this arcana... I guess.

VIII-Strenght: I totally agree with you on this one, that Yang is this arcana. However, there's the same problem when swapping the placements...

X-Fortune: Penny fits for the Fate part and trying her luck. She wants to take chances, prove herself, make friends; regardless to the plans other people have for her.

XII-Hanged Man: True, at first glance Weiss is a weird pick for this arcana and admitedly there's a bit of especulation on my reasoning for this place. But look at it this way: when Port gave her that speech back in Vol. 1, she found herself realising that she had everything on a silver plate and now she doesn't, and she choose to become a better teammate instead of pursuing her wish of leadership. Nothing huge, but it counts.

XIII-Death: No objections here. You could argue that she set a "change in tone" but that doesn't means much.

XV-Devil: I thought the same when picking the characters, but compared to the other antagonists (and Cardin), I found that he fits the role better. Also, setting off the plan early and then letting himself get arrested seem to fit the impulsiveness and comitment part, imo; though I guess that Cardin could also fit in this more easily.

It's true, I based myself on how the Persona games portrayed the archetypes of the cards with the characters, thought that's the purpose of the template. But, I do like your feedback, and I'll take it into account if I ever do a V.2.0. Thanks Well, the Emperor is not necesarily a "troubled leader" as much as someone that wants to have control of the things around them, though they're not always successfull. Weiss could probably fit, if it wasn't for her character development.

As for the Empress, the quote you mentioned. You do know that was a joke, right? It wasn't something to take seriously.

And your reasoning as for why Penny would fit the Fortune...feels like it's stretching it. We need to see more to know.

And...what Weiss did...I wouldn't call that a sacrifice of any kind, nor is she doing it for "enlightenment" (and her "will be the best teammate" talk to Ruby, pre-ep16 at least, it's debatable, considering her attitude in ep15-16). I don't think she fits this Arcana, at least not yet.

Have to agree with the Devil part though. It's true, considering the rest of the villains (and Cardin), Roman's the one that fits the Arcana more for the moment.
