While many Sword cards represent physical conflict, the Eight of Swords is all about being caught up in your own insecurities. Donkeyskin disguises herself to escape a bad situation, but then has to choose whether to keep the safety of the disguise or live her life happily.

Have you read most excellent take on Donkeyskin? Deerskin is one of my favourite books and it has the best cover!

Behold Princess Vera! Also known as Donkeyskin, she shall one day be queen. You can tell the in-universe author had some bias when it came to her page, no matter what he says. Bio page 2 of 4!
