PERSONALITY: (A cousin of Myrrh, thus similar)
+ Hidden depth.
+ Sincere, imaginative, optimistic, warm, inviting, a little "sweeter" than a Myrrh.
+Enjoy expressing themselves, masters of body language, in getting their point across. However, they can be quite subtle and secretive.
+Extraordinary memory…not only words, but actions and expressions.
+Tolerant, accepting, non-judgmental, passionate, but patient in whatever they do and supporting to others in their path.
+Their expressive words are precise and may use the words "perfect" and "exactly."
+They either show up at the "wrong" time or the "right" time depending on circumstances.
+They can exude a sense of warmth, safety and support.
+Have a bit of an adventurous spirit.
+Thrive best in a warmer climate.
