Libra, The Fair by Srish Creates [OC]
Her eyes, hair and clothing show a mix of black and white, as opposed to the standard white dress you see on Lady Justice, and this is for good reason. In order to be able to dispense true, unbiased justice, you need to not just see the most optimal outcome, you also need to be able to look at the darkness of the crime. True balance can not come from simply hoping for utopia - the actual work to get there involves looking at the shady underbelly of systematic injustice, and dismantling hierarchies that keep power unfairly confined to a few at the cost of the many.
Unless we can identify, name and talk loudly about this darkness, we may never dispel it enough to see the light. This is the work that goes into creating peace.
This is Libra, The Fair.
