Jane Russell
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Jane's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Jane Russell comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Jane Russell - 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 Jane Russell" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Jane a little better. This page describes the disguise Russell wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Jane Russell appears gentle and soft, and she acts rather reserved with others until she knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Jane has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: her heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for her. Russell tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Russell.

Russell approaches life emotionally and subjectively and she is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around her. Instinctive and non-rational, Jane Russell is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for her actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

Her emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Jane's thoughts and opinions. She views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach herself from her own personal bias and prejudices. She is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects her and those dear and close to her, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, she may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Jane and her near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for her and her near and dear ones, it is no good.

She is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those she cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Jane Russell empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, she is easily moved by others' pain, and Jane Russell is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

Her moods fluctuate and change frequently and she is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Jane Russell communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Jane never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to her.

She is mentally active and restless and she likes to talk, communicate, and exchange ideas with others. Jane Russell expresses herself well, and is suited to activities that involve presenting ideas to other people, such as teaching and sales.

Jane Russell comes across as responsible, conscientious, and solid - qualities that encourage others to take her seriously. She is unlikely to present herself as more than she is, and this humility is often endearing, or at least appealing, to others. Even as a youth, Jane Russell was mature for her age.

It may be hard for Jane Russell to hold her ground and she may be taken advantage of easily. Russell displays little strength or force to others and may be quick to resign, despite having many longings, hopes, and wishes for the future.

She may find it difficult to get ahead because Jane lacks the vitality to do so. Jane Russell tends to wait for better conditions and has the desire to accomplish a lot without straining herself too much. Quite often, though, her plans just seem to hang in the air.
