Character description: Temperance (Latin, Frenum) (self-control, opposes Gluttony, Latin Gula) —
Constant mindfulness of others and one's surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation.
Persuasion: (good evil neutral) Good
Type of Creature: Virtue
Powers: The ability to influence people in using moderation and maintaining a balance within themselves. The counteracting of Glutonny's urge to eat.
History: Temperance (Sophrosyne in Greek) is the practice of moderation. It was one of the four "cardinal" virtues held to be vital to society in Hellenic culture. It is one of the Four Cardinal Virtues considered central to Christian behaviour by the Catholic Church and is an important tenet of the moral codes of other world religions—for example, it is one of the Five Precepts of Buddhism.
Classically, temperance was defined as governing natural appetites for the pleasure of senses according to the bounds of reason. No virtue could be sustained in the face of inability to control oneself, if the virtue was opposed to some desire; this is why it is classified as a cardinal virtue, where "cardinal" signifies "pivotal."
The virtues of abstinence, chastity, and modesty are considered sub-classes of the virtue of temperance, as it governs the practice of eating and drinking, practice of sexual intercourse, and the restraint of vanity.
Character is from (series, book, creator, or author, if it applies): Virtue
