Wherever she goes, she's the one who's larger than life. Everyone likes her and she brings the best out of everyone. Regarding her personality, we know she'll go places in any ways. One thing people don't know about her is she's more susceptible to pressure and anxiety than they think. She usually stay composed, but inside, she keeps angers down and constantly imagines mowing down annoying people to settle an old score with them. As yet, she has never tipped her hand and she knows better than to do that. We have reasons and that hold us off actions. Self control is important, and we tend to be more calm especailly when we're talking to employers who's gonna decide on if they're gonna take us on or not. Who pulls it off better than others will carry off the prize.
