@A1m3v ooh, maid to heir is an interesting pairing, and does make it a bit of a foil with prince/Bard in some ways... Thats a delightful bit of symmetry I hadn't considered! Regardless, I do think you're onto something with class defining your character arc/relation to your aspect and where you're supposed to go, If we're considering Maid/heir - in the way that heirs need to learn to be less avoidant of their aspect and instead inherit/their aspects, perhaps maids need to stop being a servant to be instead MAKE themselves of their aspect?

I'm thiiiiiink I'm still more on board with Maid/Sylph due to the fae mythology (again, I just cant help but think of the lady of the lake and fairy maiden trope)especially because Fae are often described as beings composed entirely of magic! *made* of it, if you will! I would also posit thats why Maid/Sylph seem to be way more "magical" classes in comparison to say, witch or Heir! It's one thing to be gifted or wield magic (Which also makes me consider Witch/Heir as a pair due to the whole wizard/sorcerer dichotomy in D&D) but another to harness whats innately yours!

Regardless, ty for the food for thought! I hadnt considered this before!
