Temperance Arcana

The Temperance Arcana is a recurring Arcana in the Persona series.
==Overview==
Portrayed as a woman with angel wings mixing up the water of two cups, one blue, the other red, the Temperance Arcana is a symbol of synthesis, prudence, harmony, and the merging of opposites.
Gameplay-wise, the Personas of the Temperance Arcana are often well-rounded Personas. Personas of the Temperance Arcana are mythological figures associated with balance and moderation. The Temperance Arcana is primarily home to mythological beasts rather than human figures.
Characters of the Temperance Arcana are often struggling to find a balance in their lives and in their hobbies, dealing with severe stress but putting great effort into hiding it. This imbalance and stress come from the absence of someone that they greatly cared for, usually through death, as well as pressure from the relative(s) of that person that was/were left behind.
Generally, these characters try to escape their normal lives by engaging in their hobbies. However, they eventually begin to acknowledge that and return to their regular lives.

The Temperance Arcana is represented by the Confidant with Sadayo Kawakami, which is unlocked after 5/24 when the protagonist discovers she works a part time job as a "maid."

During the Confidant the protagonist learns Kawakami is working both as a teacher and part-time as a maid in order to pay off the guardians of a former student she once tutored, who passed away in a car accident. The protagonist helps Kawakami overcome her guilt over the situation and reaffirm her love of teaching, becoming better to her students as well. 
Completing the Temperance Arcana Confidant will also bestow the ultimate form of the Arcana, Ardha.
