Temperance Arcana (XIV)
Among all the arcana, the Temperance Arcana has the most well-balanced persona. They are what people might call “utility persona.” Because of their versatility, they can have the player adjust to any battle given.
Since they’re a balanced group, their spells vary among all the elements. Sometimes, they even come with their own elemental boosts. If fused correctly, some of the weaknesses of the resulting Persona disappear.
This arcana is portrayed as a woman. She has angel wings and is mixing the water of two cups. In one hand, she holds a blue cup and, on the other, a red cup. The Temperance Arcana represents synthesis. It also represents the virtue of harmony and the merging of opposites. The Persona of this Arcana are often deities. These deities may be the ones that hold the balance of all things. The representative for the Temperance Confidant is Sadayo Kawakami.

Traditionally, the figure on the Temperance card is Archangel Michael. Which makes sense, with Raphael on Lovers, and Gabriel on Judgement. And yes, Gabriel and Michael are “swapped” in the Compendium, but that’s somewhat justified, given their skill sets.
