 For the first time in many years, I am whole; a
 complete, unified soul residing within a mortal body.
 It is appropriate during this time that I look both
 inward and to the past - doing what many people would
 call "soul searching." I choose, then, to start at the
 beginning: the time of my birth.

 A woman of contradictions, I can be deeply empathetic
 and highly self-possessed at the same time. Much of
 this is internal, while I maintain the calm, practiced
 exterior of a noblewoman. This allows me to patiently
 and calmly observe the world around me. While I will
 use tact, I am also honest to a fault.

  While my loyalty is a virtue, I can be somewhat over-
 bearing in the protection of those I care for. I've
 also been known to dig my heels in when my mind is
 made up. At times, this leaves me staying still and
 watching the world move around me while I avoid any
 unnecessary risks.

 With this in mind, I am certain my zodiac element is
<b>  Earth.

 As a sorceress, I walk the Path of Mystery. I do so
 with the grace of a Lady of the Han Court. When
 crisis strikes, I maintain a cool heal and even cooler
 exterior. In times of great conflict, others have
 looked to me for guidance - largely due to my ability
 to remain calm.

 When doing a task, I am certain not to cut any corners
 or leave things half-completed. My curious mind always
 leads me to thoroughly explore all avenues and to
 contemplate a task from all angles. This extends to the
 myriad interests, hobbies, and fields of study I have
 pursued over the years.

 With this in mind, I am certain that my zodiac animal is
<b>  the Snake.

  A snake who slithers gracefully upon the grounded and
 centered earth? Quite interesting, indeed...
