Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

Oh, I am sorry that you did that.
I didn't particularly like the look of the skein as it was.
But the skein open - now it is a colour that I really need to have.
And I am not even Alice!
LOL! Holly, make sure you click on the pic to make it bigger. The fuschi/magenta of the red doesn't show as well from far away. The full skein pic on the BMFA site is pretty true to color.
But who knows if Alice would really want this? But it's fun to see the opened skein!
