>The design was now centered around my favorite K-pop singer, who I had intended to reference in the cards flavour text but was instead changed to "a maiden most fair" to avoid any potential legal issues on GGG's part which is completely understandable. I've been listening to K-pop since 2009 and I'd intended for the cards flavour text to be a hidden in plain sight reference for the Korean player base, alas it wasn't meant to be. As for the Divination Card's name I'd set my mind on either 'Beauty Divine' or 'Divine Beauty', ultimately choosing 'Divine Beauty' which is both a reference to both what the card rewards, and her appearance.The flavour text itself is also rather straightforward too.
"In a land far away lived a maiden most fair.
Her smile melted the coldest of hearts,
Her song made men and beast cry,
Her beauty unparalleled; Divine."
The first line is simultaneously about the actual distance between where we both live, however it's also something of a classical fairy-tale beginning to which the rest follows.
The second line is about her infectious smile and ability to make her fellow group-members laugh.
The third line is about her truly outstanding voice and how a number of her songs can make me cry without fail.
The fourth line is a reference to what the card rewards and her looks.
As for the artwork - I saw some speculation about it so I'd like to clear a few things up. To those of you who noted that the artwork is 'Disney-Princess'-esque, that was exactly my intention. The maiden in the artwork is meant to be singing to the beasts of the forest and the god-rays were meant to play into the angelic/divine theme of the card.
