Characters of the Moon Arcana often tend to have trouble accepting themselves for who they are and, because of that fear, try to correspond to an ideal person. However, these efforts tend to make them appear aloof, distant, or otherwise unpleasant to be around as a result of something they’ve been through. And like the Arcana, there is a hidden depth as to why they act in their behaviors. The common theme is that because they're not in touch with said fears and shortcomings, usually by outright suppressing them, it corrupts even their surface-level motivations.

Characters of the Sun Arcana almost always find themselves in severely terrible and lonely situations, signifying the apparent hopelessness of them achieving success. Their situations are complicated because the standard approach of being a good, complete person is merely an assumption that they cannot actually apply, leaving them unfulfilled and still suffering.

The Chariot Arcana is about determination against adversity, ignoring all struggle to achieve one's goal or to win. That being said, it's the freedom of pursuing their goals that truly fulfills them. However, characters of the Arcana are often defined by a hidden hesitation, preferring to avoid the nuance of complex issues without simple solutions, and framing their avoidance and stubbornness as determination. Usually the thing they must or want to do isn't straightforward and defined by pure impulse, and might be difficult if not painful to follow through with, making it seem even more that the easy way out is the way to go. Eventually said character learns to differentiate between the two and take the right path.

The Strength Arcana symbolizes an imagery beyond the Beast And Beauty, and is associated with the morality about the stronger power of self-control, gentleness, courage and virtue over brute force.
Characters of the Strength Arcana are typically individuals of noteworthy fortitude, often involved in athletics.

Characters of the Star Arcana tend to embody their Arcana's traits of hopefulness and joy while also dealing with acute struggles both internally and externally. Their links with the protagonists help them to recognize and accept misconceptions about their lives' paths and comprehend what they truly want.
The Star Arcana represents authenticity and optimism, encouraging members of the Arcana to be true to themselves under the pretense that they stay positive.

Characters of the Temperance Arcana are often struggling to find a balance in their lives and in their hobbies, dealing with severe stress but putting great effort into hiding it.

Magician characters are usually "rogues," and represent crafty, clever, charismatic and overall sly individuals; they value their non-conformity and unconventional thought above all else. Whether they do earn other people's respect is a different story.
Because the Arcana alone represents having the power but not the purpose, the characters might waste their energy into goals that do not sustain them.

Hermit individuals hide away from others or act in more supportive roles rather than putting themselves in the spotlight. Acting anonymously, characters of the Hermit Arcana may have a liking to using the Internet.
While isolation and introspection are important keywords in relation to the card, a vital engine for the storytelling of the Hermit is that the individual's perception of the world reflects them and their mentality: the opposite applies too, where one's mind shapes the world.

Driven by isolation, pessimism and denial, characters of the Tower Arcana are typically arrogant and introverted, isolated somewhat of their own volition but in part because of treatment from others around them. They are never immediately receptive to the protagonist, requiring some way of proving themselves before talking with them. While aloof and indifferent, shunning their need for community, they merely sport false independence that conceals reliance to external factors, one that can only be broken down by force. The harshness of reality gets to them, forcing them to face their feelings. The protagonist's bond with them gives them the courage and understanding to break out of their isolation and establish more relationships with others.

The Arcana represents destruction, but it has a positive context as though painful, it leads to liberation and realization. When it comes to the characters of the Arcana, they're narrow-minded to a potentially severe degree and can only mature through a "disaster" that causes them to question their beliefs.
