Elisa Donovan
drive and ambition

Donovan is aspiring, enterprising and forever following a bright and distant star, planning some new venture or investigating new potential. She is definitely "upwardly mobile" in either a material or spiritual sense. Elisa Donovan aims high and is not content with a mere quiet, secure existence. Elisa likes to stretch her limits, see how far she can go and take risks. She is a positive thinker, expects success for herself, and is philosophical about failures. Donovan is flexible and she bounces back from disappointments rather quickly, usually with another hopeful new idea she wants to try. Her enthusiasm and confidence are contagious and enable Elisa Donovan to enlist the aid and support she needs for her projects. However, Elisa Donovan sometimes promises more than she can actually achieve, because she is overly optimistic or pays insufficient attention to the practicalities involved.

She also tends to get distracted and to have too many things going on at once.

She is not happy in situations that do not offer her challenges and the potential for future growth - no matter how secure or satisfactory they may seem in other respects.
