Visual Description
A pale blue‑haired woman in a strappy lavender dress stands at the center with her wrists crossed and bound by golden cuffs set with colorful gems; she looks anguished and defensive. To her left a darker‑skinned woman reaches toward her with concern or restraint, while to the right a cat‑costumed figure arches a brow holding a rose and a whip-like vine. White roses bloom and twist around the scene against a deep purple, star-speckled background framed in gold with a crescent moon at the top. A decorative golden banner at the bottom reads “Five of Roses.”
