Here's the nineteenth card in the "Isekai Tarot Card Deck" project I am developing - The Wheel of Fortune!
Aqua is one of the three main deuteragonists in the KonoSuba series. Prior to life in the Fantasy World, she was a goddess of water who guided humans to the afterlife; within, she is worshipped by the Axis Order. Since Aqua, as a goddess, thrives on praise/worship points, she usually performs good deeds, but then immediately ruins her own merits by seeking praises aggressively and persistently. Also, while many of her 'good deeds' turn out fine, Aqua is very short-sighted, and some of these 'good deeds' actually turn out to be complete disasters.
The Wheel of Fortune Card can be interpreted as an introduction of an element of change in the querent's life, such change being in station, position or fortune: such as the rich becoming poor, or the poor becoming rich. It is related to luck, life cycles, lottery, fate, destiny, karma, and forces out of your control.
Aqua's journey throughout Konosuba embodies the theme of this card. She begins the series at the apex of existence - godhood - only to be dragged into the bottom-rungs of a fantasy life with Kazuma. After toil and labor, she and her party procure great wealth, only to have it lost once again. This cycle repeats endlessly throughout the series, with Aqua being dragged along as the wheel of fate continues to turn her about.

I have an outline of the characters I will be assigning to each Major Arcana, though I would love to hear any suggestions for characters to include.
