PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS/CHARACTER TRAITS

While her parents were still alive Magnolia-Rose was somewhat spoilt as the youngest daughter, her antics were humoured by the family so she came to have just a bit too much confidence/belief in herself.

In recent years, since her sister married and her brothers joined the navy, her favourite thing has been when they gather back together at special occasions such as Christmas and birthdays. As a tradition she stages a pantomime, where she is the director and the lead role. It was a great deal of fun for all actually.

There hasn’t been another family gathering like that since their parents died some 4 years ago.

Her attitude to life is drawn from the theatre, where melodrama is just a usual day. She relishes high and extreme emotions - and is prone to exaggeration. Lying to enhance the truth is frequently done, and she sees this as acceptable because it makes others' lives more interesting in the process.

She gets bored very easily, but she knows how to fix that.
