A word about how to determine the Tarot suit of the "persona":

If it makes little difference whether or not the Persona is dressed, if they attract the observer's attention with their physical body, their Material presence – most likely, this is the Queen of Disks.

If it's the Persona's charm, allure, and emotions that draw the viewer's attention – most likely, this is the Queen of Cups (Hearts).

If the Persona attracts attention with a particular concept, motto, idea, philosophy, action/statement (such as Lady Gaga's meat dress), then this is the Queen of Swords (Spades).

If the Persona draws attention with a particular trend or fashion, suggests some sort of potential, project, development path, or choice, then this is the Queen of Wands (Clubs).

That said, gender, race, biological species make no difference. Tarot Queens can symbolize both a man and a woman. As well as inanimate objects and even processes.

A claim to fame and a desire to grab attention – these are a "reversed" Five, in the aspect of the element where it's most manifested.
