The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed. The silent voice within one’s heart whispers the most profound wisdom.“
The
Priestess is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power,
wisdom, mystery and patience. Usually quiet, reserved, and very
intelligent. Often modest and shy, and won’t open up easily to others.

(Oh gosh. If we mean relationships as in dating Dest hasn’t had any unhealthy ones she refused to break off. If we’re talking friendships then she has one currently. Her friendship with Leera. It’s not exactly a healthy relationship for her. Not when it puts her at odds with her company mates at times. Yet she refuses to break off the friendship, insisting there is something worth saving in Leera. Even if it will mean standing against people she considers friends at times. Like Felix.)
(Lance hasn’t had many romantic relationships either. But his relationship with his family is unhealthy. It has been for years. Yet they are his family. So he tries to tough it out. Doesn’t help he feels his options of where to turn are limited. Not that he wishes to burden others. So far only Tara and Miu has he trusted enough to tell of his family an they way they treat him.)
(Destiney really doesn’t have a real balance to her life. It’s more like organized chaos. She has a preference to always be doing something. Yet somehow she manages to keep everything in order and done in a timely manner. Even when she is relaxing she will have a book or notebook an still be occupied. So her balance is organized yet chaotic as there is never really moments where she does nothing. Doing nothing can mean dwelling on thoughts she doesn’t want to deal with.)
“Insecurities… I have plenty. Though they mostly only shine through the worst when I am feeling very low.“ She frowns an looks down at the wine in her glass, notebook filled with various scribbled notes. “My worst are that I’m not good enough. That for my lack of experience I will make a mistake. One that can’t be fixed. An that someday… I am going to lose someone because I wasn’t able to act because I am still unable to stand up to other people or go near a Castrum. I try my hardest to be strong. However even I have moments where my strength fails me.”
(Ah an there is the problem. Dest doesn’t really trust her instincts very well. She really should. Otherwise she might approach some situations a bit better. Such as dealing with Leera. She thinks more with her head or heart but rarely pays much attention to instincts. No wonder she gets herself into such trouble. Okay maybe once in a while she does. She felt like Nate was a good person. She trusted the way she felt about him after just meeting him once. An now he is part of the Order. As well as a very dear friend.)
(Thanks! @kindlingdusk)
(Actually she is currently being manipulated. She just can’t see it because she wants to believe Leera has something in him worth redeeming. He totally enjoyed watching her the day she had a verbal fight with Felix and Dusk. She even went as far as to contact him over the linkpearl he left her, giving him details of a conversation she overheard between Oni, Frost, and Aimee. Oni and Aimee are supposed to be her friends and allies. Yet she gave up the information easily that night. Warning him. Even if Leera does has some sliver of feelings towards her, he is still generally not a very nice person. He is toying with her though she thinks he does care about her. What his evil plans with using her are I couldn’t tell you. Could merely be for entertainment. Getting to watch her break like glass.)

(The worst she has ever been treated was while in Ishgard. The rumors an whispers when she was walking around. She is a half midlander, half wildwood though she looks completely elezen. Her grandfather, the Aurifore are an upper class family, disowned her mother before she was born. So in a sense she was treated much like a half-breed bastard. Unwanted. So she had no friends nor tried to make any friends during the five years she lived in Ishgard.)

(Haha. Honestly I think Nate got a taste of this last night when they talked. Dest tries to think logically when it comes to work. So sometimes she ignores feelings or intuition because she feels they can cloud judgement when it counts the most. Especially when it comes to the cards she has. The last mission the cards insisted on the futility of the actions to be taken that night. Something didn’t sit right with her about this mission.
Yet she chose not to trust her feelings on the matter. Especially when all the signs pointed to trouble. Most definitely when the enemy led them into that trap. Yet she chose to ignore it. The enemy was cornered. Or at least they thought. She spent the weekend regretting not trusting her feelings or noticing the signs.)
