Description This girl will come into Sidney's life already looking to the next horizon, always mindful of what's ahead and keeping her eyes up. Perhaps not entirely prepared for the whirlwind Sid's life has become, she'll nevertheless keep going, one foot in front of the other, confident that her goals will be met and her journey will be completed.

We used multiple lists to gather our seven virtues. It was easy enough to choose the seven cardinal sins, but as you've said, there were only four cardinal virtues and so we looked through many others, whose lists varied wildly, especially compared to the sins' lists.

Hope, I believe you can find as a theological christian virtue and as a knightly virtue, to name two of the lists it appears in.

Our other choice was "Hannah", but it sounded too close to Helen/Humility...

Hope, without a doubt!

First of all the way you hint at the Virtue with the name: HOpe, HOlly.

Second,...well, I think that's been spoken for...

Ha, yeah, she's Hope. We revealed her name as Holly when someone guessed it right. Until then she was just #12.

Usually I can't think of a thing to complain about in your art but her feet look a little off. Maybe it's the angle but they look tiny.

Hey, look on the bright side, at least you don't draw the way I do. (Heh heh...you need only check my profile page to see what I mean, though my actual webcomic is a little better than that these days). Plus, you accepted constructive criticism with good grace! And feet are the least-practiced part anyway. They're the last part anyone looks at and/or draws; usually they're cut off by the bottom of the picture!

Sorry, TheFwank, I didn't read the text above! She sounds like a good leader- the other girls will provide the means, know-how and firepower, she may be the ideas- girl and the morale keeper. Can she heal others?

sunflower-renegade [2010-09-23 10:27:19 +0000 UTC]

I'm thinking Hope because while you mentioned she was looking forward, and mindful, but not fully prepared for chaos. Hope isn't about being prepared for everything, it's about being prepared to find what's necessary to get through problems and achieve good things. That a way will always be found. A water-bottle, leather gloves (in cheery colours) and sneakers are semi-practical, but not necessarily gear for the crazy-prepared. A survivalist will have hiking boots, more earthy clothes that cover all limbs (with the exception of a bright coat to be seen in a cold climate) and a backpack. Possibly a rifle and First Aid Kit. Binoculars can look beyond what's in front and remind you that there are great things to come to, just to hold on a little longer. Of course, let's not ignore the happy colours and patterns either. Who is she opposing?

Seems like she may fit the description for hope, but I think faith is a bit better for her.

The sense of perseverance, transition, and foresight she seems to give off fits faith pretty well.

RoyallyFlushed [2010-09-22 22:37:58 +0000 UTC]

No alliteration for our benefit this time? Hehe.
I'm going to go with Foresight, or Wisdom. Foresight might be me getting specific.
I say those two because she seems like a well-prepared person, looking ahead for what may happen and preparing, but not being omniscient.
Also, the flowers on her shirt are irises, I think, which stand for wisdom and faith, and similar things.

Going with just one word though, I'd say wisdom.

Wyvern64 [2010-09-22 19:21:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to say Hope because her binoculars can help her see very far and her hand over her eyes suggests that she is optimistic about what the future has to offer and it looks like she can walk pretty far in those shoes.

TheSoylentOrange In reply to Wyvern64 [2010-09-23 01:32:06 +0000 UTC]

Very nicely done! Say hello to Holly, the mortal form of Hope, leader of the Virtues.

Also, note that despite her clothed for going great distances, she only has a sip of water left in her bottle? That was supposed to be one of the bigger tip-offs, that she was boldly going forward despite having far too little in reserve to make it all the way, simply hoping everything would be provided and would work out.

Perseverance? I'm not sure it's a virtue, but still...

Someone's already mentioned the climbing gloves, but if those cleats are for golfing (just a shot in the dark, as I don't really know the difference between different kinds of cleats), then... well, golf can be a very frustrating game. They could probably symbolise persevering despite everything going wrong.

Aw she's adorable.
I'm just going to bet vigilant, mostly cause right now she's being...well, careful.
Still cu-ute!

Interestingly enough, I used to have blond hair years back (todler years, I think). Now it's darkened to a brownish black.

I'd have to go with diligence.
why?
the climbing gloves were already mentioned... and you said the cleats...
which tells us she's a rock climber and that takes diligence.... but also faith... so... i'm a little torn...

buttstastic [2010-09-22 03:09:17 +0000 UTC]

My guess is Perserverence or Diligence. She has hiking boots and climbing gloves on which means she likes the outdoors and wants to be actice and outside- quite the opposite of Sloth

o hey she is a Virtue! I thought she was just going to be some normal character there. Must be a very nice disguise, then.

Foresight would be the obvious guess, as her binoculars lets her see "into the future", and the hawaiin print might suggest planning for future travels.

Then again, cleats, gloves, water bottle suggests someone who is going out in nature a lot. Nature would be a very weird use for a Virtue, but it'd be creative!

The gear that encourages her to go out and explore might also be a hint for "Curiosity" as a virtue, or some synonym of it. Perhaps Wonderment, Marvel, Admiration?
