So you want a Quadrivium, parallel, perhaps to other
kinds of learning?  One person, a lady, travels
through all four realms in order to fully understand
what it's like to be one person (in this case a Lady.)

For me, I have three female players so I just
suggested they do their own take on the
maiden-mother-crone schtick.  Taking a page from
Pratchett, I allowed that, working together, the three
had more of an impact on the Occult Underground than
working apart.

I kind of like the idea of linked archetypes.  The
True King and the Necessary Servant, for instance. 
It's like chanelling a Meme.
