Dove

A loyal champion who uplifted others from the shadows.

Catherine Baker devoted herself to championing the work of her friend Joseph Furphy, persistently advocating for his recognition long after an indifferent public reception — a hallmark of the dove's nurturing, selfless loyalty. Her contributions were channeled through others, such as Miles Franklin, reflecting the dove's preference for quiet, behind-the-scenes support rather than personal fame. She embodied the dove's core traits of dedication, warmth, and belief in the value of those she cared about.
