Yes, I realize that this is a historical fiction character, but I completed this map for Seer's essence map challenge. I figured that a character from any genre of fiction would work. If you would rather me not post a historical fiction character and create another map of a fantasy character, however, I can.
I would also like to say that some of this is my impression of Janet. Some parts of Janet were not described directly, but I am trying to stay accurate to the book in what the author did describe.
Finally, I am still pretty new at essence mapping, so please feel free to rip this map apart and give me suggestions. One thing I noticed myself was I tend to use animals a lot, so could you try to give me some alternatives?

The map format/categories were mostly from Raven of the Wood's essence map.
Do we have a post somewhere that has every category/subcategory posted so we can go there and get them instead of from other peoples posts? I feel like I may be missing some, and perhaps am not even formatting this correctly.
It looks really good.
