Solitaire was a naive, sensual, virginal Tarot card-reader, who worked for crime-drug lord and San Monique's evil foreign minister Kananga/Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto). He was seeking control of the North American heroin market. The heroine had to remain chaste in order to retain her mystical, psychic powers and keep herself from danger. In her first meeting with Bond (Moore) at the Fillet of Soul restaurant, when she performed a Tarot card reading, he picked up The Lovers card and asked her, prophetically: "Us?" She was later tricked by him into losing her virginity with a fixed tarot deck (composed completely of The Lovers cards). After lovemaking, he told her: "The deck was slightly stacked in my favor...Come on, cheer up, darling. There must be a first time for everyone." She eventually assisted Bond in combating Kananga and defeating his evil plans. By film's end, he rescued Solitaire on San Monique and killed Kananga.
