The Arcana
0 — The Fool
Emma
Moonlight braids, blue-flame eyes, zero sense of direction and infinite courage. Emma walks off ledges and the universe builds a road under her feet.
01 — The Magician
Chelsea
Crimson curls, mauve pinstripes and total command of the Minor Arcana. She doesn't study magic — she curates it.
II — The High Priestess
Hailey
Veiled, quiet, and holding the silver key. Hailey reads what the others only feel — the pauses between the pages.
III — The Empress
Sarah
The Creator herself, grimoire in one hand and a golden working in the other. Every world in Nocturne grows from her palm.
X — Wheel of Fortune
The Twins
Two hearts, one turning wheel. Where one twin casts the circle, the other holds the shield — fortune favors the pair.
XV — The Devil
Malphas
The page is turning and the future is tainted. Malphas walks out of the grimoire with green fire and a shadow that has horns of its own.
XVII — The Star
Pip
A boy with an armillary sphere and a constellation that answers back. Pip charts the roads the others walk.
The Creator
Sarah Michelle Doucet
Digital artist, dark fantasy storyteller, and computer animation student at Full Sail University — building a world out of Louisiana twilight, one card at a time.
