Reason is the personification of wisdom and logic. She appears to be based on the Lady Wisdom that appears (also as a personification) in the Bible in the Book of Proverbs (she is also known as Santa Sophia, patroness of the principal church of Constantinople/Byzantium). She is portrayed as a goddess or demi-goddess who stands opposed to Cupid.
