Original Persona
Gryphon
Justice Arcana

The Gryphon (griffon or griffin) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the Gryphon was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. In antiquity, it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine. The Gryphon first served as the Pharoah's companion in Ancient Egypt, and later became sacred guardians in Minoa. In Greece, the Gryphon was sacred to Athene as wisdom and Nemesis as retribution and justice, and Roman art often depicts Gryphons pulling her chariot. In India, the talon of a Gryphon was said to detect poison in a liquid when used as a drinking cup. Other legends claim that Gryphons guarded treasures, as well as their agate eggs, in nests woven of gold with their mates. Gryphons were strictly monogamous - not only did they mate for life, but if one partner died, the other would continue throughout the rest of its life alone, never to search for a new mate. This made them symbols of loyalty and wealth. The Gryphon commonly appears in English heraldry, where it represents strength and vigilance. It is the emblem of the hero.

Evolved Persona
Alecto
Justice Arcana


just imagine that fine lady up top with bat wings ^

Alecto ("the implacable or unceasing anger") is one of the Erinyes/Furies, goddesses of vindictiveness and retribution in Greek mythology. They were called the Daughters of Nyx, but were actually born from the falling drops of blood of Uranus when he was castrated by his son, the Titan Cronus. The drops fell on Mother Earth (Gaea) and impregnated her. The Furies were often depicted with bats' wings and dogs' heads, or women wearing black robes with a band of serpents around their heads. They were fearsome and terrible to behold. Alecto is the sister of Tisiphone (the avenger of murder) and Megaera (the cause of jealousy and envy). Alecto is the Erinys with the job of castigating the moral crimes (such as anger), especially if they are against other people. Her function is very similar to Nemesis, with the difference that the latter's function is to castigate crimes against the gods. They were the guardians of the law when the state had not yet intervened or did not exist, or when the crime was a crime of ethics and not actual law. Their effect on their victims was madness. No prayer, no sacrifice, and no tears could move them, or protect the hapless object of their persecution. They were guilty conscience personified. When they were inclined to show mercy, they transformed themselves, from being the Furies of frightful appearance into the Eumenides, meaning "kind-hearted."
