[[folder: The Queen of Clubs]]
-->''You can't control the world, but you don't need to.''
The Queen of Clubs is loosely based on Taoism, with hints of environmentalism. Her Princesses tend to blend the best of modern life with spiritualism. Fittingly the Queen's philosophies emphasize finding a way to express your true self in harmony with the world, accepting and adapting to change, and to avoid committing violence. Club's signature emotion is Harmony and tranquility. Its Princesses can use magic to augment their [[StoneWall Resistance Attributes]], [[TheDeterminator Resolve]], [[SuperToughness Stamina]], and [[NervesOfSteel Composure]]. Its Invocation is Legno.
*TheBeastmaster: Several Legno charms deal specifically with animals, and Legno in general is easily applied to animals.
*GranolaGirl: The stereotypical Princess of Clubs.
*GreenThumb: The main element associated with Legno.
*HarmonyVersusDiscipline: The Harmony side.

-->''Your heart can show you where you need to go, but only your head can get you there.''
The Queen of Diamonds embodies Enlightenment values. Her courtiers aren't exclusively scientists, engineers or academics, but every member believes in the power of reason to improve the world.

Its followers can use magic to augment their [[TheSmartGuy Mental Attributes]], [[SuperIntelligence Intelligence]], [[SuperReflexes Wits]], and [[TheDeterminator Resolve]]. Its Invocation is Aqua.

Heart's chief philosophies are to bring people together in community, to honour traditions and that authority must be earned. Heart's signature emotions are trust and duty. Heart's followers can use magic to augment their [[TheSocialExpert Social Attributes]], [[TheCharmer Presence]], [[GuileHero Manipulation]], and [[NervesOfSteel Composure]]. Heart's Invocation is Terra.

[[folder: The Queen of Spades]]
-->''Lighten up! This will be fine, and if not we’ll just run for it.''
The Queen of Spades favours good humour and lateral thinking. Her Princesses are jesters, rogues and scoundrels who do their best thinking unfettered by social orthodoxy. Spades' philosophies are to think outside the box, to spread laughter, and to think and run quickly so you don't get caught. Spades signature emotion is Laughter.

[[folder: The Queen of Tears]]
-->''Ignorance of the law is no excuse - you are all subjects of Alhambra.''
The Queen of Tears survived the fall by using unholy magic to turn her city, Alhambra, into an impregnable fortress. Living deep into the heart of The Darkness she sends her agents out to steal hope itself to keep her city alive.

The Queen of Tears' signature emotions are depression and [[IDidWhatIHadToDo resolve.]] Her Princesses can cast minor curses. Her Invocation is Lacrima.
