Eva Le Gallienne
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Eva's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Eva Le Gallienne comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Eva Le Gallienne - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Eva Le Gallienne" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Eva a little better. This page describes the disguise Le Gallienne wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Cautious, prudent, and rather self-contained, she is a person who approaches life realistically and who is not inclined to take foolish chances or get carried away by the overly optimistic or idealistic schemes of starry-eyed dreamers. In fact, Eva Le Gallienne frequently has a jaundiced view of such things. She is rather worldly-wise at a fairly young age, even somewhat of a cynic. Often the world does not seem like a safe, friendly place to Le Gallienne, and she tends to approach life in a guarded, conservative manner. She is generally calculated and careful, and is rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike.

She is pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning her moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. She is willing to work long and persistently for what she wants and she often does things the hard way. Eva does not expect others to take care of her and sometimes refuses or simply does not seek any outside help. She is often very ambitious, but quietly so. There is nothing flamboyant or flashy about her approach. She is very responsible, conscientious, and concerned with her duties to others and how she comes across socially - her "rank" so to speak.

To others Eva Le Gallienne seems mature, serious, quiet, reflective, and emotionally detached. Eva dislikes sloppy sentimentality and will not openly display her feelings, especially the more tender ones. Le Gallienne likes to always appear poised and in control; and she hates to show any weakness, vulnerability, or chinks in her armor.

Eva Le Gallienne respects tradition and the time-honored way of doing things, and she feels that there is much to be gained from studying history and also by learning from older, more experienced people. A wise mentor or father is often Le Gallienne's guide in life, and she in turn develops a great deal of hard-earned wisdom, which she likes to impart to younger people.

Eva Le Gallienne has a stern, authoritarian, no-nonsense aspect to her personality. She expects much from herself and may not give herself enough leeway to experiment and make mistakes.

She also tends to be rather close-fisted, to save and conserve her money and resources rather than spending or enjoying them. Eva Le Gallienne spends money on things of quality and of lasting value, things which are good investments, but not frivolous, temporary pleasures. There is a bit of the ascetic in her. Eva exercises great self-discipline and self-control and she can "do without" very well. Her tastes are generally understated and simple.

Though she may have other, more colorful and imaginative sides, the face Le Gallienne shows the world is modest and rather conservative.

Eva often comes across to others more abruptly or even antagonistically than necessary to achieve her aims. And naturally, if people perceive that she is trying to compete with them or run them over, some of them will strongly resist Eva Le Gallienne and her objectives. Le Gallienne might be more successful if she tones herself down a bit and shows some consideration, without completely sacrificing her own needs and wants.

Eva Le Gallienne loves children and young people and is likely to provide an intellectually stimulating environment for them. Le Gallienne is inclined to lead an active social life and establishing relationships with others comes easy to her.
