Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Cherríe does all she can to avoid conflict and discord. Her spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and she often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Moraga since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Moraga will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. She prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own.
