Tarot

Tarot has something of a history, which I will not try and put down here: try and get her story out of her some time if you really like squeezing blood out of stones. Suffice it to say that she comes from a vague and distant Shadow called Serriadh, and has no particular wish to return.

Not long after beginning to walk among the denizens of Amber and Chaos, she managed to catch the interest of Prince Brand of Amber, and he took her as a (somewhat unwilling) student.

This made life as interesting, exciting, and full of danger as one could possibly ask, really.

Further dimensions include being constantly and totally truthful, an inquiring mind, making acquaintances up and down the multiverse, developing a few minor sorcerous skills, acquiring a living and psychoactive tower, wandering into the recent messes in Avalon, and most recently swearing fealty to Desdinova of Novus Ordo. Oh, and she does tattoos.

As she might say, life continues busy.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then here's one, courtesy of Tif, a noted artist of my acquaintance.

A few logs involving her exist:
Tarot's first experience of Trump: Amariel's first experience of the Fount (and nearly the last)
Johann and Mitre kidnap Tarot, get her drunk, and throw flowers at her
Brand and Tarot discuss her fate, upon the ruins of a Broken Pattern
The result of investigating one of Mandor's spheres after Mandor goes missing:
Tarot is injured by a cursed dagger she temporarily possesses
Tarot parleys with the evil Lord Obsidian on Mars, aided by Benedict
Tarot makes an investigation, and runs into Autolycus
Tarot removes Autolycus from his world

Tarot returns Mary, a drug and Thanlis addict, to Alayne, her temporary keeper, after Sebastian nearly gets killed in a mishandled kidnapping

More logs may follow, eventually. Cross your fingers. Pick a card. Wheel of Fortune? Well, that does suggest good luck, but chance is ever mutable. So easily reversed...

Also, a few logs concerning Tarot in the world of the In Nomine game by Steve Jackson Games, as a curiosity: not part of her "genuine" history, but in character.
