She doesn’t like describing herself.

Annoyed when people learn one thing

then think they know all about her.

She hates assumptions.

Serious, funny. 

Fearful, fierce.

Intense and easy going.

She’s opinionated and open-minded.

Down to earth. Complicated.

She doesn’t believe in pigeonholes.

She’s a practical nonconformist.

A cheerful pessimist.

An optimistic malcontent.
