Light

Think of Mother Teresa. She was a believer in her religion and turned that belief outward to lead others in caring for the helpless around the world.

To fully encompass the light side of this archetype, it's necessary to encompass all of the items in this list and to be comfortable with all of the items in B1M. As you develop these items, all of the characteristics of the A1f - The Priestess, A1m - The Explorer and the A0 - The Holy Child must continue to grow stronger to provide a solid base for these.

Like all B level LPAs, she pays more attention to fundamentals than to the surface. Because of this awareness, her actions don't always make sense to the younger ones but are usually correct.
