Description

Moderation and balance might seem to be a boring concept to some, but Temperance can find it a strength in their own right. Temperance, as one might expect, is adept at finding the commonalities in disparate elements and bringing them together. Temperance can be possessed of an inner peace, or perhaps suffer from a turmoil that never shows its face to others. Temperance can sometimes find themselves caught between forces that are too great to ever be reconciled, but in the meantime, their approach can serve themselves and many others well with the proper judgment.

Persona Traits
