A young man who symbolizes love, beauty, and emotional richness, and inspires others to appreciation.</Notes>

She fully understands the complexities of human nature under every situation. She also knows that this education can only be obtained through experiences both sweet and sour. This worldly view of hers may make her impatient with those less experienced. However, if approached correctly, the Queen of Arrows will generously share her wisdom, using her arrows to tell it like it is. MEANING: Perfect understanding. The ability to clarify through language. Brilliance in writing, speaking, or anything else transmitted with words. An older woman who has these qualities</Notes>
