Suggested Characteristics

Hope is not one of your virtues. Some would call you grim, or pessimistic, or overly negative – you would say realistic. You’re always aware of the worst possibilities in every situation, not because you’re convinced they’ll occur, but because you want to be prepared for anything. The memory of what you’ve lost is always with you, so you avoid creating new attachments to things or people you could later lose. Better to remain separate and unattached.
