Description By popular demand you get my take on the counterpart-virtues to the sins. Well, the rest of them. Temperance is the counterpart to Gluttony and I got her already, so she's missing here.
But you can see her connection to them because all of these virtues have something in their hair (Chastity has lilies, Kindness has bows...) and Temperance does too, while Justice, Bravery and Wisdom don't. Pride wears her hair ornament to show that she just looks so much better wearing it than them.
I might mention that they live somewhere else than the sins and other virtues (in my head at least) because the sins and the other virtues moves away from them because they found them so lame and annoying.

I thought about making one of them male, but that would ruin my Wrath-is-the-only-guy-in-this-harem-which-he-absolutely-hates-joke, and I love that joke.

It was really hard to find the colours and symbols for those virtues D: anyway, let's get started, left to right:

Chastity is pure. She is in fact so pure that there is always a heavenly glow around her. Being so pure, she hates everything that could POSSIBLY stain her perfect pureness. For that reason she double-hates Wrath because firstly, he's a man, and secondly, whenever he throws a fit, he doesn't care who gets dirty with what. She also keeps a certain distance to Gluttony (it can get messy when she eats), Diligence (she gets dirty often) and Lust (duh, she's her counterpart and Chastity doesn't approve of her sinful lifestyle that's so contrary to her own pureness. Actually, she sometimes panics if Lust's non-pureness ruins hers since she's her counterpart.). Her hair ornament are lilies.
Humility is the tallest one of them. Pride and Justice are too, and both are the leaders of their...I can't think of a word. Clan or something. So naturally, also being Pride's counterpart, Humility should be the leader of those virtues, but since she's so humble, she didn't want to take that job and left Charity to do it. Pride hates her for that. She's actually pretty good at a lot of stuff, but never admits it and downplays everything adressed to her. The sins find her incredibly boring. Her hair ornament is meant to echo the wings of a dove.
Charity will love and tolerate the shit out of you. She is the leader of those virtues despite being the shortest and looking the youngest, and loves basically everyone, even Envy. And nobody likes Envy -> [link] (Envy envies her for getting along with everybody.)
She's cheerful, friendly, caring and takes part in a lot of volunteer work. She gets along quite well with Gluttony because Gluttony is also sweet, but she has often saved people from being eaten by Gluttony which pissed her off. Her hair ornament is supposed to echo the beak of a pelican.
Kindness is pretty similar to Charity, but she's less aggressive in her care. She often tried to stop Avarice and Envy from fighting, but mostly Justice had to take care of that since they just ignored her. Kindness is pretty helpful and sometimes helps Diligence or tries to get Humility to take a bit recognition in her own work or even tried to calm down her counterpart Wrath, who hated her for her neverending love. Her hair ornament are bows.
Patience can wait for everthing. She will listen to you for hours, she will wait patiently in a queue, she won't get mad while waiting for someone to meet her (you can be hours late and she would just be like: "Oh, you're here let's go."). For that reason her hair reaches to her knees because she just keeps waiting at several occasions and never gets the chance to get it cut. At least it's not as long as Sloth's and has a lot more substance. Her hair ornament is meant to echo the horns of an ox.
Diligence has four arms for maximum ergonomics. She can clean the dishes and sew a shirt at the same time. Diligence hates it when there's nothing to do and always tries to find work. For that reason she doesn't really mind the messyness of others as it gives her work. In those rare moments she can't find any kind of work, she learns a new language or studies astronomy, making her the best educated besides Wisdom, who knows a lot by nature, and Avarice, who just wants to know more than all of them. She likes to keep her clothes practical and simple and keeps her hair short so it won't get in the way. Her hair ornament is meant to echo the wings of a bee.

Wait a minute here are some thing i don't get:

If Chasity hates most of the other virtues strengths and sins, how can she be pure? Isn't Hate an abomination that should be a hindrance to Chasity's purity?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Kumkrum In reply to Vertous [2013-04-28 00:25:23 +0000 UTC]

Well, her pureness (and glow) is solely tied to her chastity, so as soon as she would sleep with someone her purity would fade. Hate per se wouldn't distort it.
Also, while I did use the word "hate", she doesn't really hate the others, as in, really loathe them wanting to see them dead (like Envy of the Sins does), but just severely dislikes having them around and their company makes her visibly uncomfortable.

It is counter to Wraith.

Lust vs Chastity
Gluttony vs Temperance
Greed vs Charity
Sloth vs Diligence
Wrath vs Forgiveness
Envy vs Kindness
Pride vs Humility

It's called the Seven Heavenly Virtues for a reason

Odd isn't it, how blurry the line is between extreme virtue and sin? I love how you've personified each and every one of them, I've looked at them all including the sins and you really captured them nicely.
