Hi, I was wondering what people thought each of the Queens own physical beauty was? Is there a Queen who is considered more beautiful than the others? Is there a Queen who is lacking in good physical features? If so, why?
From what I've read the QoC seems to be referred to as the most physically attractive; while in my own opinion I would suggest the Qos is the least attractive.
Any opinions?
Beauty and what's considered beautiful varies soooo much from person to person.
To me, the queens are more about personality traits and not about physical traits, unless you WANT them to indicate physical traits in others to look for - but you can't really use them to show both appearance and personality at the same time or you will end up with things like "nurturing women are the most beautiful" and "smart women are old and ugly" which makes no sense.
But I'll play this game... what do I think the queen's beauty is... hmm...
I think all of them have beauty, but beauty in different ways. None lack good physical features. It depends on who is looking, too - different people will like different types of beauty. So no queen can be said to be "the most beautiful" because beauty is such a fluid thing.
In my mind though, this is how I see them:
Queen of Cups: Pretty and beautiful, in a conventional and very feminine way, maybe a bit girlish. Nobody can say she's not cute, but some people may think she is too sweet, too soft, maybe even a bit bland. Smiles a lot, is very charming. Of the four queens, she would be the most likely to be a model.
Queen of Wands: Radiant, flamboyant, people envy and admire her fabulous style. She's very good-looking, maybe not a "perfect beauty", but her charisma more than enough makes up for that. Very attractive and sexy. A lot of her beauty is in the way she moves and laughs and lives. She's just glowing from within.
Queen of Pentacles: Her beauty is the most physical and earthy. She's got curves, and all in just the right places. The old masters would have loved to paint her. Either that, or she could be sporty and well-muscled with an athletic body. In any case, she radiates health and feels good about herself and her body, and that's very attractive. And she's probably got great skin and fabulous, shiny hair too.
Queen of Swords: A cool, distanced, aristocratic beauty. Perfect elegance - a very sophisticated lady. Sort of the unattainable beauty, above anybody's league. Probably tall and thin, she could be a model but there is something a bit harder and sharper about her features than in the Queen of Cups. Or, she could have something masculine or androgynous about her, but still be very good-looking. People think she looks interesting and admire her from afar, but only the bravest dare approach her
Actually, I think the Queen of Swords would be the one I would find "most beautiful". But your tastes may vary
