Born November 19, 1962, her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Tiger. The Water Tiger more resembles a pussycat than a jungle cat. She may be a bit "wishy washy" compared to other Tigers, but her excellent judgment, look before she leap attitude, and increased flexibility more than make up for this. And, her relatively easy going nature makes she a fun companion. Also, there's a good chance she is quite intuitive.
