Princess of Cups

Like the Queen, the Princess of Cups trades exclusively in romantic dreams and other intangibles-- but unlike the Queen, she intrepidly carries them out into the world, searching for ways to wring reality out of them and make them come true. Naïve? Perhaps. But her restless spirit and curiosity will practically guarantee a steady flow of meaningful encounters, artistic inspirations, and emotional transformations for her to keep her occupied. Because she's both observant and compassionate, you'll find she's a natural diplomat as well as friend or lover.

Hello Kitty may have begun as an almost insultingly simple cuteness cash-in, but she's become a beloved symbol for all these qualities-- to the point that Japan recently appointed her as its Ambassador of Tourism to China. I doubt she'll be fazed by that responsibility; after all, she's been the United States children's ambassador to Unicef since 1983. Over the years, so many people have asked her parent-company Sanrio why Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth that they've added their response to the FAQ: "Hello Kitty speaks from her heart." She is clearly a stronger and more enduring force than anyone could have ever suspected, and I think the Princess of Cups will surprise you similarly.
