This page describes the disguise Browning wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Modest, unobtrusive, and often rather quiet or shy, she is a person who is content to stay in the background or to serve as an assistant, in the supporting role rather than in the lead. She is quite humble in her own assessment of herself; she seeks perfection, with a tendency to be overly self-critical. No matter how well she does something, Elizabeth Barre Browning always sees the flaws in it and how it could be improved. Often Browning will simply refuse to attempt something because she feels she cannot meet her own high standards.

Elizabeth Barre Browning has an eye for detail and she gets upset when something is not done just so, usually something others consider rather inconsequential or trivial. She is hard to please and her relationships with others may suffer because of this. Elizabeth Barre Browning also has refined sensitivities and is very discriminating and particular in her choice of foods, clothes, friends, artwork, etc. Order in Browning's environment is very important to Browning.

Browning steps into situations rather cautiously, and not without realistically assessing all of the risks and potential advantages involved. Unless something is a safe bet, she is unlikely to dive into it. Elizabeth Barre Browning tends to underestimate her own capacities and to lack confidence and trust in life, which inhibits her spontaneity. Worrying is a bad habit of hers. On the other hand, Elizabeth Barre rarely falls flat on her face and what she does, she does very well.

Others see Elizabeth Barre Browning as a self-sufficient and rather self-contained person. Browning has a strong sense of propriety. Politeness, good manners, and correct behavior are important to her. Her clear, cool, objective and non-emotional attitude is apparent to others first, and though she is really quite helpful and caring, she does not radiate much sympathy and as a result, others may not see the helpful side as readily. Elizabeth Barre may seem more businesslike and factual as well as more conservative than she really is at heart. She is the person others might go to for technical advice or an unbiased opinion, but not for emotional support.

She is keenly observant, intelligent, and has a great desire for learning and for self-improvement, but she is not especially ambitious and is often satisfied with a rather simple, unglamorous position in life.

Her desire to love and to be loved is very much apparent, very much on the surface, and Elizabeth Barre Browning is known for her personal charm and affectionate nature. She may also seem overly dependent on others' approval and appreciation of her.

Elizabeth Barre Browning tends to blend in with and take on the characteristics of the people in her surroundings, and may thus not make a powerful individual statement of her own. She may project an aura of glamour or "make-believe", and enjoy trying on different personalities at different times.
