The Heroine, also called the "1 of Blues", or the "Empress of Blues", is the first card in the Suit of Blues in a deck of Atlicana Cards. The cards are mostly used to play Atlicana, but they are sometimes used in fortune telling. Being the suit of Blues, this card has completed the transformation from being vanquished, where it then rose up and took up arms to defend others as The Sentry. From there it finally progressed to mastery and became The Heroine.

Features

"The Heroine card is filled with traditional Galwyndorian symbolism surrounding death. First, there is the prominent heroine standing poised with a bow and arrow. She is basking in the sunlight, meaning that she has defeated the darkness. There is a dragon below, facing left to signify victory over the troubled times in the past. Above the word "Atlicana" are two spears. Finally, the top key symbol is the dragon facing forward, which represents the overall theme of the card and victory over troubled times ahead." - from The Usirad Grimoire

-<blockquote>"The Heroine card is filled with traditional Galwyndorian symbolism surrounding death. First, there is the prominent skull beneath a road leading to the gates of the Underworld. On either side of the skull are two coffins with skeletons inside. Beyond the gateway lies [[Vuldarith]], the mountain of the dead, situated beneath a raven in flight and the crescent moon. Above the word ''Atlicana'' are four snakes, which according to legend are the creatures said to usher one from the realm of the living to that of the dead. The card is number 11, which represents the 11 stars of the constellation [[Gagnus]], who is said to be the first person in the world to die. In the original version of this card, at the bottom were two [[Traevian Knots]], which represented the cycle of life and death eternal. Finally, the top key symbol is the coffin, which represents the overall theme of the card." - from [[The Usirad Grimoire]]</blockquote>
