MapleStory – Tarot Arcanas
i am not one who’s much for tarot card readings, but for Persona games? Heck yes. Descriptions for the arcana shamelessly taken from SMT Wikia with additional descriptions from my friend hurhurhur. These are just a personal take, readers may agree or disagree, because we are clearly not an expert on divination.
(Sengoku characters are not included because… Well, hard to fit them into canon.)
0: The Fool – Zero
The Fool represents innocence, divine inspiration, madness, freedom, spontaneity, inexperience, chaos, and creativity. Symbolizes an individual beginning or in the process of a great journey. The Fool knows not what is ahead and has no plans or destinations; instead, picking these up along the way.
Apart from the obvious connection that Zero is, well, 0, I think it fits them because they are on their hero’s journey, and as a transcendent, they still have a long way to go. They are still inexperienced of the ways of humans and it looks like the corruption in them isn’t completely cleared either.
I: The Magician – Evan
The Magician Arcana is commonly associated with action, initiative, self-confidence, manipulation and power (more specifically, the power to harness one’s talents). The ability to bring what you desire into reality.
Evan is very driven, and takes up his predecessor’s heavy mantle willingly. He knows what has to be done and does his best to gather the heroes to protect their world.
II: The High Priestess – Rhinne
The Priestess Arcana is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and patience.
Before there was any plot in MapleStory, we have always seen statues of Rhinne in Time Temple. As more legend classes and the demon class were released, the stories unveil more of Rhinne’s involvement in their battle against the Black Mage. Despite being sealed by him all along, she was still able to lend her powers to help Freud create the seal for Black Mage.
