The Orphan
The Orphan archetype — abandonment, resilience, and belonging sought without guarantee.
The Orphan is not only foster imagery. It is the felt sense that no one is coming — you must feed yourself. Dreams: empty house, institution hallways, suitcase never unpacked.
Gift and shadow
Gift: self-reliance, empathy for outsiders. Shadow: chronic mistrust, testing people until they leave.
