Lady of March
The Lady of March bears Daffodils and dons the stone of Aquamarine. The Daffodils represent chivalry and unrequited love. The Aquamarine will bring her foresight, courage, and happiness.
She ushers in a time of resurrection, renewal, and the bursting forth of new life.

This particular Lady was the most challenging one so far in the series! Her concept was pretty clear right from the beginning. I broke a few of the pre-defined guidelines I had established for the Ladies in regards to format, so she ended up more on the surreal end. However, hopefully you all enjoy the strangeness as much as I do!
