[Gunnora Hallakarva]

Baroness Caterina is trying to chose between the following mottos:
>"black of heart, light of spirit"
>"create beauty, yet celebrate darkness"
>"the devil made me do it"

The Latin would be:

>"black of heart, light of spirit"
Cor Nigrum, Spiritus Levis

>"create beauty, yet celebrate darkness"
Pulchritudem Crea, Tamen Tenebras Celebra

>"the devil made me do it"
Diabolus Me Facibant Id Agere.
