Artist's commentary
It surprises some to find out, but the Goddess's Wisdom and the Goddess's Intelligence are not the same Gift. Another Vessel in her class held the Goddess's Intelligence, in fact. She was a bright-eyed thing, reading years above her grade level, always studying and trying her best.
Reina outstripped her test scores every time they competed.
Intelligence comes from inborn talent and books. Wisdom comes from experience, and a Goddess has had millennia of that to pass on. It is why Reina chose to become a doctor, when nothing about her nature embraces healing.
A doctor sees people at their lowest. Even more than a warrior, a healer holds life in her hands. Among those desperate to escape death, nothing gives her more power than that.
