Queen of Swords For this card, I chose a snow leopard as the queen proudly wearing the most precious crown in the whole ice kingdom, extra fluffy fur for protection against frosty times, and demonstrating strength. A necklace with an icy sword pendant is the other part of the jewelry as a subtle warning. The element air and endless freedom of thought in the snow leopard's mind are symbolized by the two butterflies sitting on the crown. One of the butterflies has a warmer color tone to emphasize the duality of "Your Majesty". The queen is independent, intelligent, and self-sufficient, often seen as cold or distant. Therefore, the paw on the right side of the painting shows claws and is in a defensive position. The other paw looks more relaxed and gracious. In the background, we can see sword and ice-like shapes with abstract patterns. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/1242105016
