"She is bound by her archetype, of course," the Emperor says. "She is fertility, abundance, motherhood, femininity, beauty, satisfaction, the growing world. Where I am hard, she is soft. Where I am strict, she is forgiving. She is my counterpart, helpmeet, and wife and I trust her implicitly--and yes, that does mean she is my comrade. Should one of us win, we would not quite win together--it would be she whose qualities shall be reflected throughout reality, not mine--but we have talked of what we would use our prize for at that point, and I trust her not to abuse its other powers. If her qualities are more appealing to you, I pray you support her."
